Low-Dose Combination Pills for Management of Hypertension
Hypertension (HTN) is the most common modifiable chronic disease that significantly increases cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.1 Antihypertensive treatment reduces incidence of coronary heart disease and stroke and prolongs life.1 Improving blood pressure (BP) control is a key strategy to decrease the burden of cardiovascular disease. Despite availability of very effective BP-lowering therapy, HTN remains uncontrolled in nearly 50% of American adults.2 In the majority of patients, a single-agent drug therapy is not sufficient for adequate reduction of BP, and more than half of patients need at least 2 antihypertensiv...

Did You Know: These Medications Can Cause or Worsen Hypertension and Are Sometime Overlooked?
Hypertension (HTN) is a leading risk factor for cardiovascular conditions (eg, stroke, myocardial infarction, sudden death, heart failure) and kidney disease.1,2 However, the exact etiology of HTN is unknown. Primary HTN accounts for ∼90% of cases. The remaining 10% of cases have a secondary cause, which can vary with age and include multiple etiologies, some reversible. For example, common secondary causes of HTN include kidney disease, primary hyperaldosteronism, obstructive sleep apnea, atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis , pregnancy, and/or drug and substance use.

Challenges in the hemodynamic management of acute nontraumatic neurological injuries
Purpose of review To appraise the evidence from the literature and suggest an integrated hemodynamic approach of early and delayed phases of acute ischemic stroke (AIS), subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Recent findings In AIS, the research aims to evaluate the optimal pressure control before, during and after the revascularization, to optimize the perfusion in the ischemic areas, minimizing the risk of hemorrhage or secondary damage to already infarcted areas. In the early phase of SAH, systemic pressure should be controlled to balance the risk of stroke, hypertension-related reb...

They can now be delivered in extended time windows and to those previously ineligible for intervention based on advanced neuroimaging criteria. Secondary systemic insults, such as hypo- and hypertension, hyperthermia or hyperglycaemia, which can...

Comput Inform Nurs. 2022 Feb 1. doi: 10.1097/CIN.0000000000000852. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to find out the effects of telehealth interventions on blood pressure control by conducting a meta-analysis. Six databases were used. The literature review covered the period between December 1, 2020, and January 26, 2021. The meta-analysis was conducted by comprehensive Meta-Analysis Software version 2.2. Categorical variables were analyzed by odds ratios at a confidence interval of 95%. In data formatting and analysis, independent groups (sample size, P value); independent groups (mean, SD); Cohen's ...
