Antihypertensive treatment decrease stroke occurrence: a prospective cohort study
Objective:
Among the risk factors of stroke, hypertension was one of the most important and modifiable factors. The current study aimed to assess whether antihypertensive treatment to ideal levels of blood pressure can eliminate stroke risk in a prospective cohort study.
Methods:
The Kailuan study was a prospective longitudinal cohort study on stroke risk factors and events. We analyzed association of baseline antihypertensive treatment efficacy with the risk of stroke during 11.0-year follow-up, and further evaluated association of newly antihypertensive treatment efficacy at 4-year follow-up with subsequent st...

Blood pressure levels and risk of haemorrhagic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation and oral anticoagulants: results from The Swedish Primary Care Cardiovascular Database of Skaraborg
Conclusion:
In this cohort of primary care patients with hypertension and atrial fibrillation, we found that baseline SBP in the 145–180 mmHg range, prior to initiation of OAC, was associated with a more than doubled risk of haemorrhagic stroke, as compared with an SBP of 130 mmHg. This suggests that lowering SBP to below 145 mmHg, prior to initiation of OAC, may decrease the risk of haemorrhagic stroke in patients with hypertension and atrial fibrillation.

Optimal blood pressure levels in different phases of peripheral thrombolysis period in acute ischemic stroke
Conclusions:
Maintaining SBP levels (≤148 mmHg) from admission to the first 24 h after thrombolysis, then keeping SBP levels (127–138 mmHg) would be beneficial.

Low-blood pressure phenotype underpins the tendency to reflex syncope
Conclusion:
The patients prone to reflex syncope demonstrate a different resting cardiovascular haemodynamic profile as compared with a general population, characterized by lower SBP and PP, reflecting reduced venous return and lower stroke volume, and a higher HR and DBP, suggesting the activation of compensatory mechanisms. Our data contribute to a better understanding why some individuals with similar demographic characteristics develop reflex syncope and others do not.

The aortic-femoral arterial stiffness gradient: an atherosclerosis risk in communities (ARIC) study
Conclusion:
Although future studies are necessary to confirm clinical utility, the af-SG is a promising tool that may provide a unique picture of hemodynamic integration and identification of CVD risk when compared with cfPWV.

Country of birth and mortality risk in hypertension with and without diabetes: the Swedish primary care cardiovascular database
Conclusion:
In Sweden, hypertensive immigrants (with the exception for Finnish-born) with and without diabetes have a mortality advantage, as compared to Swedish-born.

The association between self-perceived walking pace with the incidence of hypertension: the ‘Seguimiento Universidad de Navarra’ cohort
Conclusion:
Our results support that an increase in walking pace, even slightly, is inversely associated with the development of hypertension, independent of total time spent walking and other factors associated with hypertension.

Invasive aortic pulse pressure is not superior to cuff pulse pressure in cardiovascular risk prediction
Conclusion:
Invasively measured aortic PP did not add prognostic information about cardiovascular outcomes and death beyond cuff PP in patients with stable angina pectoris.

The association between indices of blood pressure waveforms (PTC1 and PTC2) and incident heart failure
Conclusion:
The PTC2 measure of the radial artery pulse waveform may represent a novel phenotype related to heart failure, especially heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.

Relations of aortic stiffness with arterial damage beyond brachial pressure are both dependent and independent of central arterial pulsatile load
Aim:
We aimed to determine whether the impact of aortic stiffness on atherosclerotic or small vessel end organ damage beyond brachial blood pressure depends in-part on stiffness-induced increases in central arterial pressures produced by an enhanced resistance to flow (characteristic impedance, Zc).
Methods:
We studied 1021 participants, 287 with stroke or critical limb ischaemia, and 734 from a community sample with atherosclerotic or small vessel end organ measures. Central arterial haemodynamics were determined from arterial pressure (SphygmoCor) and velocity and diameter assessments in the outflow tract (ech...

Long-term risk of stroke and myocardial infarction in middle-aged men with a hypertensive response to exercise: a 44-year follow-up study
Conclusion:
Among middle-aged men with high resting and maximum blood pressure during maximum exercise workload, an increased risk of stroke was observed but not for MI. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to investigate the underlying mechanisms of the increased risk of stroke among individuals with hypertensive response to exercise.

Contribution of systemic blood flow to untreated or inadequately controlled systolic--diastolic or isolated systolic hypertension in a community sample of African ancestry
Aims:
Age-related increases in systemic blood flow [stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO), and aortic flow (Q)] contribute substantially to untreated or inadequately controlled (uncontrolled) blood pressure (BP) in Africa. We aimed to identify the haemodynamic determinants of uncontrolled systolic--diastolic (Syst--diast HT) versus uncontrolled isolated systolic (ISH) or diastolic (IDH) hypertension.
Methods:
Using central arterial pressure and aortic outflow tract velocity and diameter measurements (echocardiography), the haemodynamic correlates of BP were determined in 725 community participants of African a...

Complementary value of ECG and echocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy for prediction of adverse outcomes in the general population
Conclusion:
Our study provides strong evidence that ECG-LVH is associated with adverse outcomes, independent of Echo-LVH. Clinically, ECG-LVH could be considered as a consequential factor, especially in those with Echo-LVH. These findings have potential clinical relevance for risk stratification.

Clinical impacts of cerebral microbleeds in patients with established coronary artery disease
Objective:
Although cerebral microbleeds predict the occurrence and recurrence of cerebrovascular events in stroke patients, their clinical impacts are unclear in coronary artery disease patients. We aimed to investigate the clinical effect of the presence of cerebral microbleeds in patients with coronary artery disease receiving antithrombotic treatment.
Methods:
We included 447 coronary artery disease patients taking at least one thrombotic agent who underwent brain MRI. The association between the presence of cerebral microbleeds and incidence of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events was investigat...

Blood pressure excursions in acute ischemic stroke patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis
Conclusion:
BP excursions above guideline thresholds during the first 24 h following tPA administration for AIS are common and are independently associated with adverse clinical outcomes.
