Association of Variability and Hypertensive Loads in 24-h Blood Pressure with Mortality and Cardiovascular Risk
CONCLUSIONS: High ARV and hypertensive loads in 24-h systolic BP were associated with mortality and cardiovascular risk, however only ARV is associated independently of the BP level.PMID:38294177 | DOI:10.1093/ajh/hpae011 (Source: American Journal of Hypertension)

Apparent Treatment-Resistant Hypertension in the First Year Associated with CV Mortality in PD Patients
CONCLUSION: Longer aTRH duration in the first PD year is associated with higher CV mortality and worse long-term clinical outcomes. Larger studies are warranted to confirm these findings.PMID:38252960 | DOI:10.1093/ajh/hpae010 (Source: American Journal of Hypertension)

Blood Pressure Measurements Obtained by Community-Dwelling Adults Are Similar to Nurse-Obtained Measurements: The SMART-BP Validate Study
CONCLUSIONS: Community-dwelling adults can accurately measure BP after a 3-minute video training. Integrating SMBP training into patient encounters may result in reliable home BP measurements, improving hypertension management and clinical decision making.PMID:38219026 | DOI:10.1093/ajh/hpae001 (Source: American Journal of Hypertension)

The Pathogenesis and Impact of Arterial Stiffening in Hypertension The 2023 John H. Laragh Research Award
Am J Hypertens. 2024 Jan 12:hpae006. doi: 10.1093/ajh/hpae006. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFifty years ago, Dr. John Laragh brought forward the "vasoconstriction-volume hypothesis" of hypertension. This is Ohm's Law in blood pressure regulation, explicating hypertension as a consequence of increased peripheral vascular resistance, cardiac output, or both. Resistance vessels, those of a diameter less than 200 μm, determines mean arterial pressure by controlling peripheral vascular resistance. In comparison, large capacitance arteries, particularly the aorta, confines the systolic and diastolic blood pressure in physiolog...

Hypertension and mild cognitive impairment: state-of-the-art review
CONCLUSIONS: Further studies are needed to determine the optimal levels of BP control across different age groups, especially in adults with MCI, and which class(es) of antihypertensive agents and duration of treatment best preserve cognitive function in those at risk of, or with established, MCI.PMID:38214550 | DOI:10.1093/ajh/hpae007 (Source: American Journal of Hypertension)

How new developments in pharmacology receptor theory are changing (our understanding of) hypertension therapy
Am J Hypertens. 2023 Dec 27:hpad121. doi: 10.1093/ajh/hpad121. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMany hypertension therapeutics were developed prior to major advances in drug receptor theory. Moreover, newer drugs may take advantage of some of the newly understood modalities of receptor function. The goal of this review is to provide an up-to-date summary of drug-receptor theory. This is followed by discussion of the drug classes recognized for treating hypertension to which new concepts in receptor theory apply. We raise ideas for mechanisms of potential new antihypertensive drugs and whether they may take advantage of new th...
