Comparison of Home and Office Blood Pressure Devices in the Clinical Setting
CONCLUSIONS: Over one-fifth of home devices did not agree based on the AMA SMBP device accuracy protocol. These findings confirm the importance of office-based device comparisons to ensure the accuracy of home BP monitoring.PMID:38150380 | DOI:10.1093/ajh/hpad120 (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...

Medical Measures in Hypertensives Considered Resistant
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with resistant hypertension need careful and sustained follow-up and review of their medications and dosages at each term since medication adherence is a very dynamic process.PMID:38124494 | DOI:10.1093/ajh/hpad118 (Source: American Journal of Hypertension)

Do we need new electrocardiographic criteria for left ventricular hypertrophy? the case of the peguero lo presti criterion. a narrative review
Am J Hypertens. 2023 Dec 19:hpad117. doi: 10.1093/ajh/hpad117. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe cardiovascular risk associated with LVH in the community and, particularly, in the hypertensive fraction of the general population, represents the rationale for its timely and accurate identification in order to implement adequate preventive strategies. Although electrocardiography (ECG) is the first-line and most economical method of diagnosing LVH its accuracy is largely suboptimal. Over the last seventy years, dozens of different ECG criteria, mostly based on measurements of QRS voltages, have been proposed. In this long jou...
