High sodium intake increases blood pressure and risk of kidney disease. From the Science of Salt: A regularly updated systematic review of salt and health outcomes (August 2016 to March 2017)
The purpose of this review was to identify, summarize, and critically appraise studies on dietary salt and health outcomes that were published from August 2016 to March 2017. The search strategy was adapted from a previous systematic review on dietary salt and health. Studies that meet standards for methodological quality criteria and eligible health outcomes are reported in detailed critical appraisals. Overall, 47 studies were identified and are summarized in this review. Two studies assessed all ‐cause or disease‐specific mortality outcomes, eight studies assessed morbidity reduction‐related outcomes, three studie...

Office blood pressure measurement types: Different methodology —Different clinical conclusions
The measurement of blood pressure in the office (OBP) remains the basis for hypertension diagnosis and management for more than half a century. Despite the increasing use of out ‐of‐office blood pressure measurement using home and less so ambulatory monitoring and their endorsement by hypertension societies, at present and for some time to come it is likely that in many people the diagnosis and management of hypertension will be based on OBP measurement alone. OBP measu rement is a very variable method affected by multiple factors, which have major impact on the OBP level, reproducibility and prognostic ability. Thus, ...

Comparison of automated clinical and research blood pressure measurements: Implications for clinical practice and trial design
Discrepancies between clinic and research blood pressure (BP) measurements lead to uncertainties in translating hypertension management guidelines into practice. We assessed the concordance between standardized automated clinic BP, from a primary care clinic, and research BP, from a randomized trial conducted at the same site. Mean single ‐visit clinic BP was higher by 4.4/3.8 mm Hg (P  = 0.007/<0.001). Concordance in systolic BP (SBP) improved with closer proximity of measurements (difference  = 2.5 mm Hg,P  = 0.21 for visits within 7  days), but not averaging across multiple visits (difference =5.1(9.2) mm ...
