Hair sodium concentration is a predictive factor for incident hypertension in middle aged and older Korean adults
Hypertension is associated with high morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular diseases and stroke. High sodium intake is known to contribute to high rates of high blood pressure and its sequalae. However, it is not well known whether sodium in tissue is associated with hypertension development. We investigated the association between sodium amount assessed by hair mineral analyses and incident hypertension for median 4.2 years follow-up.

Menopause, lipids and cardiovascular risk
The greatest mortality burden for women in Europe is due to cardiovascular diseases (CVD), such as stroke and coronary heart disease. Women develop CVD on average 10 years later than men. Premenopausal women have a more favorable CVD risk factor profile characterized by lower cholesterol levels and blood pressure and a lower prevalence of diabetes. During the transition to menopause, women experience changes in phenotype and metabolism associated with an increased risk of CVD; including increase in abdominal fat, increase in low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDLC) and systolic blood pressure, and increased insulin resistance.

Atherosclerotic Disease
Atherosclerotic disease, including stroke and myocardial infarction, is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Atherosclerotic plaque formation occurs in the setting of excess oxidative and hemodynamic stress and is perpetuated by smoking, poor diet, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and diabetes. Plaque may rupture, resulting in acute thrombotic events. Smoking cessation, lifestyle modification, risk factor optimization, and antithrombotic therapies are the mainstays of atherosclerotic disease management and are the cornerstones to reduce morbidity and mortality in this high-risk patient population. Novel thera...

"You Can Change the World With a Haircut": Evaluating the Feasibility of a Barber-led Intervention for Men of Black and Ethnic Minority Heritage to Manage High Blood Pressure
CONCLUSION: The combined data showed that educating barbers to take BP readings and deliver healthcare advice about BP is a viable intervention for rollout in a large-scale study. It has demonstrated the need to identify strategies to motivate barbers for sustained recruitment and retention, as well as further efforts to build trust among customers for long-term BP surveillance.PMID:37148215 | DOI:10.1177/21501319231168336

The association between arterial hypertension and menarcheal age
Arterial hypertension (AHTN) is considered the most important risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and premature death. In low-income and middle-income countries, about 50 % of stroke and ischemic heart disease incidents and approximately 7.6 million deaths are secondary to AHTN [1,2]. It is not only highly prevalent but is still rapidly growing; as a result, studies estimate that by 2025 its prevalence will reach>29 % [3]. Research in Iran (2011) illustrated that the prevalence of AHTN and pre-hypertension is 25.6 % and 39.8 % in adults aged 25–70 years, respectively [4].

Ischemic stroke and vascular risk factors in young and older adults. Community-based retrospective study (2011-2020)
CONCLUSIONS: The results reinforce the need for continuity of care and follow-up in people with acute stroke in primary care and the need to improve the quality of registries.PMID:37086593 | DOI:10.1016/j.aprim.2023.102623

Approach to atrial fibrillation: Essentials for primary care
CONCLUSION: Most patients with AF can be managed effectively in primary care. Family physicians not only play an important role in ensuring patients with AF receive timely diagnoses, but they are also key to providing initial and ongoing care, especially in patients with comorbid conditions.PMID:37072207 | PMC:PMC10112727 | DOI:10.46747/cfp.6904245
