Hypertension-related diseases as a common cause of hospital mortality in Tanzania: a 3-year prospective study
Conclusion: NCDs account for half of all deaths, admissions and hospital days at our Tanzanian hospital and hypertension-related diseases were the most common NCD. Hypertension accounted for 34% of NCD deaths and 15% of all deaths. Hypertension was the second most common cause of death overall and the leading cause of death in patients more than 50 years old. More than half of hypertension-related deaths occurred before retirement age. These findings have important implications for public health and medical education in sub-Saharan Africa, wherein hypertension and related diseases have not traditionally been given a high priority.

European Society of Hypertension Position Paper on Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is being used increasingly in both clinical practice and hypertension research. Although there are many guidelines that emphasize the indications for ABPM, there is no comprehensive guideline dealing with all aspects of the technique. It was agreed at a consensus meeting on ABPM in Milan in 2011 that the 34 attendees should prepare a comprehensive position paper on the scientific evidence for ABPM.
This position paper considers the historical background, the advantages and limitations of ABPM, the threshold levels for practice, and the cost–effectiveness of the technique. It ex...

Vascular and parenchymal lesions along with enhanced neurogenesis characterize the brain of asymptomatic stroke-prone spontaneous hypertensive rats
Conclusion:Appearance of vascular changes in SHRSPs, before any MRI-detectable brain lesion, is coupled to active neural proliferation in the SVZ. With disease progression, only newborn astrocytes can survive, likely because of the neurotoxicity triggered by brain oedema and oxidative stress.

Heart rate variability and functional outcome in ischemic stroke: a multiparameter approach
Conclusion:While HRV assessed by linear methods seems to have long-term prognostic value, complexity measures of HRV reflect the impact of the neurological state on distinct, temporary properties of heart rate dynamic. Respiratory rate during the first days of the stroke is associated with early and long-term neurological outcome and should be further investigated as a potential risk factor.

Blood pressure levels and risk of cardiovascular events and mortality in type-2 diabetes: cohort study of 34 009 primary care patients
Conclusion:In a large primary care-based sample of patients with type-2 diabetes, associations of SBP and DBP with risk of major cardiovascular events and mortality were U-shaped. This may have implications for risk stratification of persons with diabetes.

Association of hypertension with depression in the community: results from the Gutenberg Health Study
Conclusion: The competing literature about the relationships between depression and HTN may be the result of the insufficient recognition of multiple pathways of opposite directions linking depressive symptoms with blood pressure, HTN and related medications.

Blood pressure in professional male football players in Norway
Conclusion: Although the prevalence of high BP in professional football players was low, our data indicate a novel association between elevated BP and reduced arterial compliance, increased left ventricle mass and left atrium volume even in young athletes. This emphasizes closer focus on BP measurements and standardized follow-up after preparticipation screening of athletes.

Relationship between glomerular dysfunction and left-ventricular mass independent of haemodynamic factors in a community sample
Aim: To evaluate whether the relationship between early glomerular dysfunction and left-ventricular mass (LVM) occurs in a community sample and whether this relationship depends on haemodynamic factors.
Methods: In 621 randomly selected participants from a community sample (332 were normotensive), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), LVM and dimensions were determined using echocardiography, and aortic blood pressure (BP) assessed from applanation tonometry and SphygmoCor software. Aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) and high-quality 24-h BP values were available from 554 and 437 participants, respectively.

Hypertensive target organ damage and the risk for vascular events and all-cause mortality in patients with vascular disease
Conclusions: Impaired renal function, albuminuria, and LVH are prevalent in patients with vascular disease and confer independent and additive risk for vascular events and mortality. Measurement of hypertensive target organ damage in patients with vascular disease identifies patients at very high risk and may have treatment implications.

The contributions of unhealthy lifestyle factors to apparent resistant hypertension: findings from the Reasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study
Conclusions: Unhealthy lifestyle factors did not have independent associations with aTRH among individuals taking three or more antihypertensive medication classes.

Dual inhibition of the renin–angiotensin system in high-risk diabetes and risk for stroke and other outcomes: results of the ONTARGET trial
We examined the effects of addition of an ACE inhibitor (ramipril) to an ARB (telmisartan) for a mean follow-up of 56 months in people with diabetes [n = 9628, mean age 66 years, baseline blood pressure 144/82 mmHg, BMI 29 kg/m2, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 73 ml/min, and urine albumin 11 mg/mmol] who participated in the ONTARGET trial, divided by those with (n = 3163) and without (n = 6465) nephropathy. We compared participants on monotherapy with either ramipril or telmisartan with those on dual therapy.
Results: SBP decreased more with dual over monotherapy (−7.1 vs. −5.3 mmHg, P

Sex differences in cardiovascular outcomes in patients with incident hypertension
Conclusion: In this cohort with incident hypertension, women were more likely to develop CKD and less likely to develop other cardiovascular outcomes compared with men. Future studies should investigate the potential reasons for these sex differences.
