Postexercise hypotension as a clinical tool: a “single brick” in the wall
After an exercise session, a reduction of blood pressure (BP) is expected, a phenomenon called postexercise hypotension (PEH). PEH as a predictor of chronic training responses for BP has been broadly explored. It suggests that when PEH occurs after each exercise sessions, its benefits may summate over time, contributing to the chronic adaptation. Thus, PEH is an important clinical tool, acting as a “single brick” in the wall, and building the chronic effect of decreasing BP. However, there is large variation in the literature regarding methodology and results, creating barriers for understanding comparisons among PEH s...

A dose-response association of night sleep duration with hypertension in a Chinese rural population: the Henan Rural Cohort Study
The purpose of the study was to determine if there was a relationship between night sleep duration and hypertension, and to evaluate as to whether blood lipid levels played a role in this relationship. A total of 37, 317 participants aged 18-79 years were included in this study. Night sleep duration was classified as (Source: Journal of the American Society of Hypertension)

Determinants of hypertension among adults in Bangladesh as per the Joint National Committee 7 and 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Hypertension Association hypertension guidelines
We investigated determinants of hypertension in Bangladesh using both Joint National Committee 7 (JNC7) and 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Hypertension Association (2017 ACC/AHA) guidelines. After reporting background characteristics, odds ratios (ORs) were obtained by multilevel logistic regression. Among 7839 respondents aged ≥35 years, 25.7% (n = 2016) and 48.0% (n = 3767) respondents had hypertension as per the JNC7 and 2017 ACC/AHA guidelines, respectively. The following factors were significant according to the 2017 ACC/AHA guideline: ≥65 years (adjusted OR [AOR]: 2.4, 95% confidence interval [...

Pediatric reference values for arterial stiffness parameters cardio-ankle vascular index and CAVI0
The process of arteriosclerosis begins early in life, and cardiovascular risk factors identified in childhood tend to persist into adulthood. Cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI), a recent parameter of arterial stiffness, is considered an independent predictor of cardiovascular risk. However, there are no studies reporting sex- and age-specific physiological values of CAVI in childhood. We aimed to establish reference values for CAVI and its blood pressure –corrected variant (CAVI0) in 500 healthy children and adolescents aged 7 to 19 years and to study potential relationships with anthropometric indices.

National Trends in the Emergency Department Management of Adult Patients with Elevated Blood Pressure from 2005-2015
Emergency department (ED)-based screening and referral of patients with elevated blood pressure (BP) is recommended by 2006 and 2013 American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) guidelines, however, it is unknown if these recommendations or disparities in care impact clinical practice.

Actigraphy-based sleep characteristics and aortic stiffness: the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
The study aimed to examine the association between objective estimates of sleep duration and quality and aortic stiffness while accounting for the potential confounding effect of sleep-disordered breathing. Participants were part of the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis Sleep study. Sleep duration and quality were assessed by 7-day wrist actigraphy, sleep-disordered breathing by home polysomnography, and aortic stiffness by magnetic resonance imaging –based aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV), ascending and descending aorta distensibility.

Effects of exercise training on endothelial function in individuals with hypertension: a systematic review with meta-analysis
a slight increase (1%) in endothelial function is associated with reduction of cardiovascular risks by 13% in individuals with cardiovascular disease risk, including those with hypertension. Thus, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis for to assess the efficacy of exercise training on endothelial function in individuals with hypertension.

A Comparison Of Blood Pressure Reductions Following 12-Weeks Of Isometric Exercise Training Either In The Laboratory Or At Home
Isometric exercise training (IET) induced reductions in resting blood pressure (RBP) have been achieved in laboratory environments, but data in support of IET outside the lab is scarce. The aim of this study was to compare 12-weeks of home-based (HOM) IET with laboratory-based, face-to-face (LAB) IET in hypertensive adults. (Source: Journal of the American Society of Hypertension)

Thirteen years ago, the primary trial findings of the Anglo-Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial (ASCOT) blood pressure arm were published, and for most of us the results were relegated to distant memory.1 ASCOT was a 2 ×2 factorial design with nearly 20,000 hypertensive patients randomized to amlodipine-anchored antihypertensive therapy versus atenolol-anchored treatment. After a median follow up of 5.5 years there were no difference between the two treatment arms in the occurrence of the primary combined endpoin t of nonfatal myocardial infarction plus coronary disease death.
