We examined the relationship between clinic systolic blood pressure (SBP) and morning home SBP measurements and progression to macroalbuminuria in patients with type II diabetes. We analyzed prospective cohort study data from 712 patients with type II diabetes. We classified the patients into the following four groups according to their clinic (130 mm Hg) and home (125 mm Hg) SBP measurements: controlled blood pressure group, white-coat hypertension group, MH group, and sustained hypertension (SH) group.

Circulating bone morphogenetic protein-9 levels are associated with hypertension and insulin resistance in humans
The objective of this study is to observe the changes of circulating BMP-9 levels in patients with HTN and to investigate the association of circulation BMP-9 and insulin resistance (IR) in a cross-sectional study. Two hundred twenty-five individuals, including 132 patients with hypertension, and 93 healthy controls, were included in the present study. (Source: Journal of the American Society of Hypertension)

Effects on repetitive 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure in subjects with type II diabetes randomized to liraglutide or glimepiride treatment both in combination with metformin: a randomized open parallel-group study
In this post hoc study, we aimed to investigate liraglutide treatment on repetitive 24-hour blood pressure (BP) in patients with type II diabetes. Sixty-two individuals with type II diabetes (45 males) were randomized to 1.8 mg liraglutide once daily or 4 mg glimepiride together with 1 g metformin twice daily. Ambulatory 24-hour systolic and diastolic blood pressure (sBP/dBP) was repetitively measured at baseline, 2 weeks, and 18 weeks. Outcomes were evaluated as treatment change from baseline, 2 weeks, and 18 we eks. (Source: Journal of the American Society of Hypertension)

The relationship of depression with the level of blood pressure in population-based Kangbuk Samsung Health Study
There has been increasing evidence about psychosomatic relationship between mood disorder and blood pressure (BP). However, the degree to which BP categories are associated with depression has been less well described. Thus, this study was to investigate the association of depression with BP categories. A total of 90,643 men and 68,933 women were enrolled in this study. They were stratified into four groups (normal, prehypertension, newly diagnosed hypertension, and recognized hypertension) according to the BP levels and the history of hypertension.

Effects on repetitive 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure in type 2 diabetic subjects randomized to liraglutide or glimepiride treatment both in combination with metformin: A randomized open parallel-group study
In this post hoc study we aimed to investigate liraglutide treatment on repetitive 24-h blood pressure (24-h BP) in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. 62 T2D individuals (45 males) were randomized to once daily 1.8 mg liraglutide or 4 mg glimepiride together with 1 g metformin twice daily. Ambulatory 24-h systolic and diastolic BP (sBP/dBP) was repetitively measured at baseline, 2 weeks and 18 weeks. Outcomes were evaluated as treatment change from baseline, 2 and 18 weeks. Baseline clinical characteristics liraglutide (n=33) and glimepiride (n=29) groups were well matched. (Source: Journal of the American Society of Hypertension)

Prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension among Chinese working population: results of a workplace-based study
We investigated the prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension and the related risk factors among Chinese working population. From 2012 to 2013, a total of 37,856 employees aged 18 –60 years from 61 workplaces were sampled. Standard questionnaire surveys and physical examinations were undertaken. Multilevel logistic regression models were performed to identify the risk factors. Overall, the age-standardized prevalence of hypertension was 23.3% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 22.9%–23.7%).

Home blood pressure –guided antihypertensive therapy in chronic kidney disease: more data are needed
In the era of newly introduced hypertension guidelines recommending lower blood pressure (BP) targets for drug-treated hypertensives, the necessity for optimized management of hypertension becomes even more urgent. The concept of home BP –guided antihypertensive therapy is for long suggested as a simple and feasible approach to improve BP control rates and optimize the management of hypertension. Home BP–guided antihypertensive therapy is particularly applicable to hypertensives with chronic kidney disease (CKD) for several reas ons including the following: (1) difficult-to-control BP and high BP variability in the CKD...

Comparison of laboratory and ambulatory measures of central blood pressure and pulse wave reflection: hitting the target or missing the mark?
Prior studies demonstrating clinical significance of noninvasive estimates of central blood pressure (BP) and pulse wave reflection have relied primarily on discrete resting measures. The aim of this study was to compare central BP and pulse wave reflection measures sampled during a single resting laboratory visit against those obtained under ambulatory conditions. The secondary aim was to investigate the reproducibility of ambulatory central BP and pulse wave reflection measurements. Forty healthy participants (21 males; 24 ± 3 years) completed three measurements of brachial artery pulse wave analysis (Oscar 2 with S...
