Cadmium body burden, hypertension and changes in blood pressure over time: Results from a prospective cohort study in American Indians
This study assesses the association between baseline urinary cadmium and longitudinal changes in blood pressure in American Indian communities. Cadmium was measured in 3,047 baseline urine samples from Strong Heart Study participants from three geographic areas. Longitudinal changes in blood pressure across three study visits (1989-99) were modeled using linear mixed models by baseline log urinary cadmium to creatinine ratio.

From the Editor
The 2017 ACC/AHA blood pressure guideline lowers the threshold used to define hypertension to a systolic blood pressure of 130 mm Hg or higher or a diastolic pressure of 80 mm Hg or higher.1 In addition, the new guideline lowers the systolic blood pressure level that qualifies for treatment for many adults. A consequence of the lowered thresholds for defining and treating hypertension is a sharp increase in the number of people with hypertension in the U.S. and the number who qualify for drug treatment.

Can a polypill one single tablet combat different cardiovascular risk factors?
Polypharmacy is defined as the use of two or more drugs simultaneously. Cardiovascular drugs and antihypertensives are commonly prescribed for treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD), especially in elderly patients. Recent studies in patients with a history of CVD demonstrated that the fixed-dose combination of cardiovascular drugs in a polypill retain their individual efficacy, safety, and tolerability, thus have the potential to improve medication adherence and multiple risk factor control, thereby improving patient outcomes in secondary cardiovascular prevention.
