Association between DBP and major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention
Background: In patients with stable coronary artery disease, low DBP is associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction and cardiovascular death, but its association with clinical outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is unknown. Methods: Consecutive patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing PCI from January 2010 to June 2016 were enrolled. The patients were divided into five groups according to the quintiles of DBP at admission. The primary outcome was in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events ...

Long-term clinical outcomes according to the mean observed blood pressure in patients with coronary artery disease after drug-eluting stent implantation
Background: A recent guideline emphasized strict blood pressure (BP) control for the patients at high risk for cardiovascular events. However, there are little data about the relationship between BP control and clinical outcome in Korea. We sought to evaluate the clinical outcomes according to the mean observed BP in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) who had undergone drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation. Methods: We reviewed records of 1010 CAD patients with DES from 2010 through 2011. After excluding in-hospital mortality cases (n = 79), we categorized patients into two groups based on the average SBP...

High blood pressure as a risk factor for incident stroke among very old people: a population-based cohort study
Introduction: High blood pressure (BP) increases the risk of stroke, but there is limited evidence from studies including very old people. The aim was to investigate risk factors for incident stroke among very old people. Methods: A prospective population-based cohort study was performed among participants aged at least 85 years in northern Sweden. The 955 participants were tested at their homes. BP was measured manually after 5-min supine rest. Incident stroke data were collected from medical charts guided by hospital registry, death records, and 5-year reassessments. Cox proportional hazards models were used. Results: ...

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...
