Association of depressive symptoms and hypertension prevalence, awareness, treatment and control among USA adults
Objective:
The aim of this study was to measure hypertension prevalence, awareness, treatment and control by depressive symptoms among USA adults.
Method:
Using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data from 2007 to 2018 (n = 28 532), depressive symptoms were categorized as ‘none or minimum’, ‘mild’, ‘moderate’ and ‘moderately severe or severe’ by the Patient Health Questionnaire. Hypertension was assessed by history, blood pressure measures and antihypertensive medication use. Adjusted prevalence rates and adjusted prevalence ratios (APRs) of hypertension prevalence, awaren...

Arterial stiffness and atrial fibrillation: shared mechanisms, clinical implications and therapeutic options
Arterial stiffness (AS) and atrial fibrillation (AF) share commonalities in molecular and pathophysiological mechanisms and numerous studies have analyzed their reciprocal influence. The gold standard for AS diagnosis is represented by aortic pulse wave velocity, whose measurement can be affected by arrhythmias characterized by irregularities in heart rhythm, such as AF. Growing evidence show that patients with AS are at high risk of AF development. Moreover, the subset of AF patients with AS seems to be more symptomatic and rhythm control strategies are less effective in this population. Reducing AS through de-stiffening ...

Preeclampsia and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection: a systematic review
Conclusion:
Some studies showed that pregnancies affected by COVID-19 had higher incidence of preeclampsia compared with SARS-CoV-2-negative ones. However, increased blood pressure found in COVID-19 pregnancies does not allow to associate COVID-19 to preeclampsia as hypertension is a common factor to both conditions. At present, no diagnostic tools are available to discriminate real preeclampsia from preeclampsia-like syndrome in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Thus, new specific diagnostic tools are necessary to assure an appropriate diagnosis of preeclampsia in these patients, especially in case of severe COVID-1...

Disparity in hospital admissions and length of stay based on income status for emergency department hypertensive crisis visits
Conclusion:
In this study, patients with lower income were more likely to be admitted, whereas those with higher income exhibited a longer LOS. Clinicians must be made aware these disparities to ensure equitable delivery of care. (Source: Journal of Hypertension)

Comparison of the association of masked hypertension defined by the 2017 ACC/AHA BP guideline versus the JNC7 guideline with left ventricular hypertrophy
Background:
Compared with the Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee (JNC7), the 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) blood pressure (BP) guideline uses lower BP thresholds to define hypertension and BP control.
Methods:
We pooled data from five US-based studies to compare the association of masked hypertension (MHT) and masked uncontrolled hypertension, defined using the 2017 ACC/AHA guideline (n = 1653 without high office BP; (Source: Journal of Hypertension)

Circulating short-chain fatty acids in hypertension: a reflection of various hypertensive phenotypes
Background:
Hypertension is the most common chronic condition globally, contributing to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and premature death. Despite advances in treatment options, approximately 10% of patients have resistant hypertension, characterized by elevated blood pressure that does not respond to treatment. The gut microbiome is now increasingly recognized to play a role in the development and pathogenesis of several diseases, including hypertension, although the exact mechanisms remain unclear.
Method:
The aim of the present study was to investigate circulating levels of short-chain fatty aci...

Renal Farnesoid X Receptor improves high fructose-induced salt-sensitive hypertension in mice by inhibiting DNM3 to promote nitro oxide production
Conclusion:
Our results demonstrated that renal FXR prevents HFS-induced hypertension by inhibiting DNM3 to promote NO production. These findings provide insights into the role and potential mechanism of renal FXR for the treatment of hypertension. (Source: Journal of Hypertension)
