No abstract available

Association of visit-to-visit variability in blood pressure and first stroke risk in hypertensive patients with chronic kidney disease
Conclusion: In hypertensive adults with mild-to-moderate CKD, visit-to-visit variability in BP was significantly associated with the risk of subsequent first stroke.

Association of increased arterial stiffness with diastolic dysfunction in ischemic stroke patients: the Norwegian Stroke in the Young Study
Background: Young and middle-aged ischemic stroke survivors have a high prevalence of hypertension, increased arterial stiffness and abnormal left ventricular (LV) geometry, which all are associated with the presence of LV diastolic dysfunction. However, the prevalence and covariates of diastolic dysfunction in these patients have not been reported. Objectives: To explore diastolic dysfunction in ischemic stroke patients aged 15–60 years included in the Norwegian Stroke in the Young Study. Methods: Data from 260 patients with acute ischemic stroke was analyzed. Diastolic dysfunction was assessed by combining tran...

Prognostic value of office blood pressure measurement in patients with atrial fibrillation on anticoagulation therapy: systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusion: In AF patients, OBP and hypertension diagnosis predict stroke or systemic embolism, and follow-up OBP control appears to have even stronger predictive ability.

Prehypertension and risk of cardiovascular diseases: a meta-analysis of 47 cohort studies
Conclusion: Prehypertension, particularly high-range, is associated with increased risk of total CVDs, CHD, MI, and stroke. Effective control of prehypertension could prevent more than 10% of CVD cases.

Prognostic significance of acute hypertensive response in ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack patients and its relationship with left ventricular myocardial function
Conclusion: AHR in patients with AIS or TIA may be an important poor prognostic marker related to myocardial dysfunction.

Blood pressure measurement in atrial fibrillation: review and meta-analysis of evidence on accuracy and clinical relevance
In conclusion, in AF patients, BP measurement is important, reliable, and clinically relevant and should not be neglected in clinical research and in practice.

Treatment of hypertension in old patients without previous cardiovascular disease
Conclusion: Blood pressure levels lower than those currently recommended are not harmful among older patients. The association between lower SBP and lesser risk of CVD may instead suggest a beneficial effect of lower SBP.

Weak within-individual association of blood pressure and pulse wave velocity in hemodialysis is related to adverse outcomes
Conclusion: Weaker within-individual MBP–PWV association, based on ABPM recordings, is associated with higher risk of death and cardiovascular events in hemodialysis. These findings support that arterial stiffness insensitive to BP changes is the underlying factor for adverse outcomes in these individuals.

Effects of glucose-lowering on outcome incidence in diabetes mellitus and the modulating role of blood pressure and other clinical variables: overview, meta-analysis of randomized trials
Conclusion: Meta-analyses of all glucose-lowering RCTs involving patients with diabetes provide precise estimates of benefits for CHD and major cardiovascular events after consideration of the resulting ongoing BP difference. No benefit or harm on mortality, heart failure and stroke were noticed, while discontinuations related to adverse events because of treatment were increased following glucose-lowering. The extent of glucose-lowering is proportionally related to changes of CHD and stroke composite, and treatment-related discontinuations.

Sex differences in blood pressure after stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusion: This systematic review and meta-analysis indicates that women have higher SBP at the time of presentation with acute stroke. These differences are consistent with sex differences in hypertension patterns in older age, and may be explained by the fact that women are more likely to have a premorbid hypertension. This highlights the need for effective sex-specific blood pressure control in patients at high risk for stroke.

Blood pressure variability in subacute stage and risk of major vascular events in ischemic stroke survivors
Conclusion: This study shows that BP variability but not mean BP in the subacute stage of ischemic stroke may increase 1-year risk of major vascular events in patients surviving its acute stage.

Associations of blood pressure categories according to the 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association hypertension guideline and long-term blood pressure change with incident cardiovascular disease in middle-aged and elderly Chinese: the Dongfeng-Tongji cohort study
Objective: To assess the associations of newly defined blood pressure (BP) categories by the 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guideline and changes in BP with the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among the middle-aged and older Chinese. Methods: Among 29 086 participants aged 61.6 years from the Dongfeng-Tongji (DFTJ) cohort, we estimated the hazard ratio for CVD using Cox proportional hazard models. Results: As BP increased, we found a significant trend for greater risk of incident CVD, coronary heart disease (CHD) or stroke. Compared with the BP

Associations between change in blood pressure and functional outcome, early events and death: results from the Efficacy of Nitric Oxide in Stroke trial
Conclusion: Modest decreases in SBP in acute stroke appear to be associated with fewer early events and better long-term functional outcome.

Optimizing observer performance of clinic blood pressure measurement: a position statement from the Lancet Commission on Hypertension Group
High blood pressure (BP) is a highly prevalent modifiable cause of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and death. Accurate BP measurement is critical, given that a 5-mmHg measurement error may lead to incorrect hypertension status classification in 84 million individuals worldwide. This position statement summarizes procedures for optimizing observer performance in clinic BP measurement, with special attention given to low-to-middle-income settings, where resource limitations, heavy workloads, time constraints, and lack of electrical power make measurement more challenging. Many measurement errors can be minimized by appropria...
