Current applications and limitations of European guidelines on blood pressure measurement: implications for clinical practice
AbstractHypertension is the most common cardiovascular (CV) risk factor, strongly and independently associated with an increased risk of major CV outcomes, including myocardial infarction, stroke, congestive heart failure, renal disease and death due to CV causes. Effective control of hypertension is of key importance for reducing the risk of hypertension-related CV complications, as well as for reducing the global burden of CV mortality. However, several studies reported relatively poor rates of control of high blood pressure (BP) in a setting of real-life practice. To improve hypertension management and control, national...

Feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of the phone based interventions under nurse guidance after stroke (pings) in ghana
PINGS is a clinical trial to evaluate a nurse-led mHealth technology - centered approach to maintaining BP control among recent stroke survivors with hypertension in Ghana. PINGS involves domiciliary BP self-monitoring, mobile phone consultations, phone alerts as reminders, and patient education via text messages. We assessed the feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of PINGS from the perspective of health workers in general - not necessarily working in stroke rehabilitation.

Exercise medicine and physical activity promotion: core curricula for US medical schools, residencies and sports medicine fellowships: developed by the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine and endorsed by the Canadian Academy of Sport and Exercise Medicine
Regular physical activity provides a variety of health benefits and is proven to treat and prevent several non-communicable diseases. Specifically, physical activity enhances muscular and osseous strength, improves cardiorespiratory fitness, and reduces the risk of hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, mental health disorders, cognitive decline and several cancers. Despite these well-known benefits, physical activity promotion in clinical practice is underused due to insufficient training during medical education. Medical trainees in the USA receive relatively few hours of instruction in sports and...

Patient and primary care perspectives on hypertension management: short report of a qualitative study in a tribal health system
The objective of this study was to explore patients' and providers' perspectives about hypertension, hypertension management strategies, and patient-provider communication strategies within a tribally-owned and operated health system in Alaska. We conducted four focus groups that included 16 ANAI patients and five primary care providers. Patient participants tended to consider hypertension a transient state, in contrast with providers' understanding of hypertension as a chronic condition. Differences were noted in participants' perceptions regarding providers' counselling and education efforts, with providers feeling that ...

Association of education and feedback on hypertension management with risk for stroke and cardiovascular disease
CONCLUSIONS: This study does not support an association between education and feedback on hypertension management to primary care physicians and the risk for stroke or cardiovascular outcomes. The observed differences for mortality outcomes should be interpreted with caution.PMID:35179089 | DOI:10.1080/08037051.2022.2041393
