Prevalence of pre-hypertension and hypertension and its related risk factors among undergraduate students in a Tertiary institution, Ghana
Conclusion The study revealed considerable prevalence rates of pre-hypertension and hypertension among undergraduate students, with significant risk factors such as obesity detected by BMI and WHtR.

Diastolic hypotension may attenuate benefits from intensive systolic targets: secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial
The potential for harm due to excessive lowering of diastolic blood pressure as a result of antihypertensive treatment has been discussed for several decades.1 Numerous observational studies and secondary analyses of randomized data have suggested that treating diastolic blood pressure below a certain threshold may lead to adverse outcomes, including a higher incidence of coronary events, stroke, heart failure, and all-cause mortality.1 –6 Proposed mechanisms include reduced endocardial perfusion leading to coronary events,7 or flow limiting coronary stenosis.
