Mechanisms underlying elevated SBP differ with adiposity in young adults: the Enigma study
Objectives: The positive association between adiposity and hypertension is well recognized. However, not all overweight individuals have elevated blood pressure (BP). Moreover, different factors may be associated with high BP in normal-weight versus overweight individuals. The aim of the current study was to examine the influence of adiposity on the relationship between SBP and underlying haemodynamic mechanisms in young adults.
Method: Data from 2502 patients were available from the Enigma study. Detailed demographic, biochemical, and haemodynamic data were obtained in all individuals. Data were analysed between lower and...

Adverse effect of diabetes and hyperglycaemia on arterial stiffness in Europeans, South Asians, and African Caribbeans in the SABRE study
Conclusions: Compared with Europeans, South Asians have unfavorable arterial function. Diabetes and hyperglycaemia have a more deleterious effect on cPP/SV and Ea in South Asians. In contrast, African Caribbeans have more favourable arterial function than Europeans and South Asians. These differences may contribute to the differential ethnic rates of cardiovascular disease.

Visit-to-visit variability of blood pressure and death, end-stage renal disease, and cardiovascular events in patients with chronic kidney disease
Conclusion: Higher VVV of BP is independently associated with higher rates of death and hemorrhagic stroke in patients with moderate to advanced CKD not yet on dialysis.

Target organ complications and prognostic significance of alerting reaction: analysis from the Dallas Heart Study
Conclusion: Our study indicated that the alerting reaction is independently associated with increased cardiovascular and renal complications.

Hypertension and lifetime risk of stroke
Conclusion: In this urban community-based population, we observed that hypertension has significant effect on the residual LTR of stroke among both men and women of middle age, specifically for ischemic stroke.

Hypertension prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control in 115 rural and urban communities involving 47 000 people from China
Conclusion: In China, hypertension is common, and while recent studies suggest some improvements, more than half of affected individuals were unaware that they had hypertension. Rates of control remain low. National programs effective in preventing and controlling hypertension in China are urgently needed.

Retinal vessel calibres and haemostasis in black and white South Africans: the SABPA study
Conclusion: Relationships between markers of haemostasis and the retinal vessel calibres exist, and vary between ethnicities. Haemostatic alterations are linked to early retinal microvascular changes, and future studies should investigate whether it translates into an elevated stroke risk.

Development of new atherosclerotic plaque in hypertensive patients: an observational registry study from the Campania-Salute network
Background and purpose: Carotid atherosclerotic plaques (CAPs) can develop despite appropriate antihypertensive therapy. In this observational study, we assessed characteristics associated with risk of incident CAP in a large hypertensive registry.
Methods: We evaluated 2143 hypertensive patients without evidence of CAP. Incident CAP was censored at the time of the first ultrasound control in which CAP was detected. CAP was defined according to European Society of Hypertension/European Society of Cardiology guidelines.
Results: At a median follow-up period of 56.6 months, about one-third of patients (32%; N = 688) exhi...

Blood pressure variability predicts cardiovascular events independently of traditional cardiovascular risk factors and target organ damage: a LIFE substudy
Background: Assessment of antihypertensive treatment is normally based on the mean value of a number of blood pressure (BP) measurements. However, it is uncertain whether high in-treatment visit-to-visit BP variability may be harmful in hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH).
Methods: In 8505 patients randomized to losartan vs. atenolol-based treatment in the LIFE study, we tested whether BP variability assessed as SD and range for BP6–24months measured at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months of treatment was associated with target organ damage (TOD) defined by LVH on ECG and urine albumin/creatinine ratio at 2...

Increased arterial stiffness is an independent predictor of atrial fibrillation in hypertensive patients
Conclusion: Arterial stiffness is a strong predictor of future atrial fibrillation in hypertensive patients, independently of age, 24-h pulse pressure and LAD.

Blood pressure control and risk profile in poststroke survivors: a comparison with the general population
Conclusion: We found a high prevalence and poor control of major cardiovascular risk factors in patients surviving their first-ever ischemic stroke, thus showing poor implementation of guidelines for secondary prevention in clinical practice.

Pulsatile and steady components of blood pressure and subclinical cerebrovascular disease: the Northern Manhattan Study
Conclusion: We report here a segregated association between the pulsatile and steady components of the BP with subclinical markers of cerebrovascular disease. These differential associations may reflect the underlying disease of these biomarkers.

Blood pressure variability and the development of early neurological deterioration following acute ischemic stroke
Objectives: Early neurological deterioration (END) is a common condition associated with poor outcome after acute ischemic stroke. We studied association between blood pressure (BP) variability and development of END.
Methods: In this retrospective observational study, we studied a consecutive series of patients hospitalized for acute ischemic stroke within 24 h of onset. The primary outcome of interest was the development of END according to predefined criteria within the first 72 h of stroke onset. During this period, the mean, maximum (max), and minimum (min) values for the SBP and DBP were measured. The following p...
