Fear of Adverse Events Should Not Prevent the Use of Appropriate Antihypertensive Drug Therapy
A recent publication reported that Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT) participants with 10-year cardiovascular disease risk less than 11.5% derived more harm than benefit from intensive treatment. The authors consider that serious adverse events (SAE) are of equal importance to that of either all-cause death or the primary composite outcome (myocardial infarction, other acute coronary syndromes, stroke, heart failure, or death from cardiovascular causes). Under this premise, one death would correspond to 2.7 SAE and a primary outcome to 1.8 SAE overall, and to be between 6 and 18 times as important as a SA...

Predicting the risk of apparent treatment-resistant hypertension: a longitudinal, cohort study in an urban hypertension referral clinic
Apparent treatment-resistant hypertension (aTRH) is associated with higher prevalence of secondary hypertension, greater risk for adverse pressure-related clinical outcomes, and influences diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making. We previously showed that cross-sectional prevalence estimates of aTRH are lower than its true prevalence as patients with uncontrolled hypertension undergoing intensification/optimization of therapy will, over time, increasingly satisfy diagnostic criteria for aTRH.

Independent urban effect on hypertension of older Indians: identification of a knowledge gap from a Study on Global AGEing and Health
Among older Indians, more cardiovascular diseases and risk factors are observed in the city dwellers than in the rural population. Clustering of socioeconomic privileges and consequent obesity in the Indian cities are known to underlie this phenomenon. But, it is unclear whether an independent urban effect exists on age-related ailments, unexplained by concentration of privileges and excess weight in the Indian cities. Hence, we aimed to estimate the independent urban effect on hypertension among older Indians after controlling for these factors. (Source: Journal of the American Society of Hypertension)

Association of hypertension with parity and with the interaction between parity and body mass index in rural Chinese women
A cross-sectional study was conducted; information for 9247 women living in rural China was collected by questionnaire interview and anthropometric and laboratory measurements during July to August 2013 and July to October 2014. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to examine the association between parity and hypertension, estimating odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The biological interaction between parity and BMI was estimated by the relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI), attributable proportion due to the interaction (AP), and synergy index (SI).

For decades we have been aware of marked black-white differences in the prevalence of hypertension as well as susceptibility to target organ damage and clinical events including heart failure and stroke.1,2 Justin Thomas and colleagues explored differences in the prevalence and incidence of hypertension between blacks and whites from the CARDIA study.3 Whereas there have been many studies of racial differences in hypertension prevalence, there have been far fewer long-term follow-up of disparities in hypertension incidence.
