The objective of this study was to investigate BRD4 expression in patients with essential hypertension (EH) and its effects on the blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) rats. BRD4 expression was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blot in 163 patients with EH and its relation to systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were analyzed accordingly. In vivo, rats were divided into WKY (Wistar-Kyoto rats), SHR (spontaneously hypertensive rats), SHR + JQ1 (BRD4 inhibitor), and SHR + Vehicle control...

The present study intended to evaluate the variation of the hypertensive prevalence detected on a single-day blood pressure (BP) value against that on an average of 3-day BP values. This study included 1185 residents (age 21-94, 62.6 ± 14.0 years, 491 males) for BP measurements over three separate visits within a 7-day period. The newly diagnosed hypertension on the first day BP value was recorded as hypertension by epidemiological method, whereas that on the average of 3-day BP values as hypertension by clinical method...

Hypertension (HTN) is a major risk factor for coronary artery disease. Its frequency is increasing globally. The aim of our study was to evaluate the reference range of blood pressure (BP) in the Iranian population stratified for age and gender. A total of 1449 subjects without diabetes, CVD, dyslipidemia, HTN history and with a normal BMI (18.5 ≤ BMI<25) were recruited in the present study. Participants were enrolled from the Mashhad stroke and heart atherosclerotic disorder study. Anthropometric indices and demographic data were collected by two health care specialists...

Emerging evidence suggested that large neck circumference (NC) in children and adolescents may be an indicator of increased blood pressure. We sought to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis regarding the association between NC and blood pressure in children. Pertinent studies were identified by searching PubMed and Scopus databases, up to January 2018. Studies which reported the correlation coefficient between NC, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure in children (aged <18 years) were selected...

The kidneys are thought to contribute to the pathogenesis of primary hypertension, but hypertension is also known to cause target organ damage in the kidney. Noninvasive methods to capture possible changes in the kidney related to hypertension are limited. A new program that has been used to quantify the heterogeneity and percent echogenicity in renal ultrasound images was implemented to assess patients with hypertension. Children and adolescents <21 years with primary hypertension diagnosed by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring were compared with normotensive age- and sex-matched controls...

A slight increase (1%) in endothelial function is associated with reduction of cardiovascular risks by 13% in individuals with cardiovascular disease risk, including those with hypertension. Thus, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the efficacy of exercise training on endothelial function in individuals with hypertension.We included randomized clinical trials (RCTs) with adult participants diagnosed with hypertension undergoing exercise training (≥4 weeks), and the primary outcome was endothelial function, measured by flow-mediated dilatation (FMD)...

This study aimed to describe the status of carotid plaques and develop a simple scoring system to predict the risk of carotid lesions in patients with hypertension. Basic testing for carotid plaques was carried out and used for risk score development (the training dataset, n = 2665) and validation (the test dataset, n = 1333). Independent predictors of carotid plaques from the multivariate model were assigned integer weights based on their coefficients and incorporated into a risk score...

After an exercise session, a reduction of blood pressure (BP) is expected, a phenomenon called postexercise hypotension (PEH). PEH as a predictor of chronic training responses for BP has been broadly explored. It suggests that when PEH occurs after each exercise sessions, its benefits may summate over time, contributing to the chronic adaptation. Thus, PEH is an important clinical tool, acting as a "single brick" in the wall, and building the chronic effect of decreasing BP. However, there is large variation in the literature regarding methodology and results, creating barriers for understanding comparisons among PEH studies...

The study aimed to examine the association between objective estimates of sleep duration and quality and aortic stiffness while accounting for the potential confounding effect of sleep-disordered breathing. Participants were part of the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis Sleep study. Sleep duration and quality were assessed by 7-day wrist actigraphy, sleep-disordered breathing by home polysomnography, and aortic stiffness by magnetic resonance imaging-based aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV), ascending and descending aorta distensibility...

The significance of nondipping and increased nighttime systolic blood pressure (SBP) in established hypertension is well defined. We investigated whether these factors alone or combined correlate with vascular damage in early-stage hypertension. Newly diagnosed, untreated hypertensives were classified as dippers and nondippers according to ambulatory blood pressure (BP). Twenty-four-hour urinary albumin excretion and markers of arterial stiffness (pulse wave velocity, augmentation index, central and peripheral pulse pressure, central BP) and atherosclerosis (carotid intima-media thickness) were assessed...

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is a public policy program that aims to reduce food insecurity-a social determinant of health that has been associated with suboptimal blood pressure control in the United States. The aim of the article was to explore the association between SNAP benefit timing and size and probability of hypertension-related emergency department (ED) claims. This study used the SNAP data from the Missouri's Department of Social Services for January 2010 to December 2013 linked to Medicaid ED claims data...

Apparent treatment-resistant hypertension (aTRH) is associated with higher prevalence of secondary hypertension, greater risk for adverse pressure-related clinical outcomes, and influences diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making. We previously showed that cross-sectional prevalence estimates of aTRH are lower than its true prevalence as patients with uncontrolled hypertension undergoing intensification/optimization of therapy will, over time, increasingly satisfy diagnostic criteria for aTRH. aTRH was assessed in an urban referral hypertension clinic using a 140/90 mm Hg goal blood pressure target in 745 patients with uncontrolled blood pressure, who were predominately African-American (86%) and female (65%)...

Among older Indians, more cardiovascular diseases and risk factors are observed in the city dwellers than in the rural population. Clustering of socioeconomic privileges and consequent obesity in the Indian cities are known to underlie this phenomenon. But, it is unclear whether an independent urban effect exists on age-related ailments, unexplained by concentration of privileges and excess weight in the Indian cities. Hence, we aimed to estimate the independent urban effect on hypertension among older Indians after controlling for these factors...

Isometric exercise training (IET)-induced reductions in resting blood pressure (RBP) have been achieved in laboratory environments, but data in support of IET outside the laboratory are scarce. The aim of this study was to compare 12 weeks of home-based (HOM) IET with laboratory-based, face-to-face (LAB) IET in hypertensive adults. Twenty-two hypertensive participants (24-60 years) were randomized to three conditions: HOM, LAB, or control (CON). IET involved isometric handgrip training (4 × 2 minutes at 30% maximum voluntary contraction, 3 days per week)...

A cross-sectional study was conducted; information for 9247 women living in rural China was collected by questionnaire interview and anthropometric and laboratory measurements during July to August 2013 and July to October 2014. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to examine the association between parity and hypertension, estimating odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The biological interaction between parity and body mass index was estimated by the relative excess risk due to interaction, attributable proportion due to the interaction, and synergy index...

A recent publication reported that Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial participants with 10-year cardiovascular disease risk less than 11.5% derived more harm than benefit from intensive treatment. The authors consider that serious adverse events (SAEs) are of equal importance to that of either all-cause death or the primary composite outcome (myocardial infarction, other acute coronary syndromes, stroke, heart failure, or death from cardiovascular causes). Under this premise, one death would correspond to 2...

Albuminuria is a prognostic factor for mortality and cardiovascular events, even at low levels. Changes in albumin excretion are associated with end-stage renal disease and hypertension (HTN) in cohorts including high-risk participants. We aimed to investigate the evolvement of albumin excretion in healthy individuals with normal kidney function and normoalbuminuria, and possible associations with HTN and metabolic outcomes. The study cohort consisted of 1967 healthy adults with normal kidney function (estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥ 90 mL/min/1...
