Summary: Long-term light and moderate alcohol consumption is associated with a lower risk of mortality and slower blood pressure increase, while heavy drinking is associated with higher blood pressure levels and mortality risk. The relationship between average alcohol intake and mortality shows a J-shaped association.

Summary: This study analyzed data from 15,687 US adults and found a positive correlation between gamma-tocopherol serum concentration and systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and the prevalence of hypertension. Additionally, alcohol consumption may modify the relationship between gamma-tocopherol concentration and blood pressure.

Summary: Home blood pressure control status defined using different thresholds can predict the control status of 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure in treated hypertension. When home blood pressure is controlled to less than 125/75 mm Hg, ambulatory blood pressure is well controlled.

Summary: Hypertension is a major global cause of cardiovascular disease and deaths, with less than 14% of patients having controlled blood pressure. The World Health Organization has developed new guidelines for pharmacological treatment of hypertension in nonpregnant adults, including thresholds, targets, follow-up intervals, and healthcare worker involvement.

Summary: This study evaluated the agreement between app-assisted home blood pressure monitoring and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, and found significant disagreement between the two methods. App-assisted home blood pressure monitoring had high sensitivity in diagnosing sustained and masked hypertension, and can be used as a complement to 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.

Summary: This study investigated the use of antihypertensive medications and blood pressure control in male alcohol drinkers and non-drinkers with hypertension. The study found that alcohol drinkers required a higher dosage of antihypertensive drugs to achieve similar blood pressure control compared to non-drinkers.

Summary: The study showed that nurse-led alcohol guidance was effective in controlling home blood pressure in male patients with hypertension during outpatient visits, leading to a reduction in alcohol consumption.

Summary: This study shows that nighttime home blood pressure monitoring is feasible and closely associated with nighttime ambulatory blood pressure in children and adolescents, and similarly associated with preclinical organ damage.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between nocturnal hypoxia and morning minus evening home blood pressure (MEdif) in outpatients with cardiovascular risk. Participants underwent home blood pressure measurements and pulse oximetry. The study found that individuals with lower oxygen saturation during the night were more likely to have higher MEdif. Therefore, nocturnal hypoxia may contribute to an increased morning blood pressure in individuals at risk of cardiovascular disease.

Summary: The higher difference in morning and evening home systolic blood pressure (MEdif: morning minus evening home SBP >= 20 mmHg) is associated with higher cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk compared to other MEdif groups. Those in both elevated MEave (>= 135 mmHg) and MEdif (>= 20 mmHg) groups have higher CVD risk compared to controlled groups. These findings suggest that monitoring MEdif in home BP can predict future CVD incidence.

Summary: This study compared different methods, including clinic, home, and kiosk-based blood pressure measurements, to ambulatory monitoring for diagnosing hypertension. It found that clinic blood pressure measurements had low sensitivity, while home blood pressure monitoring was effective for diagnosing hypertension.

Summary: This study analyzed the association between home and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and cardiovascular risk in hypertensive outpatients, and found that both home blood pressure and ambulatory blood pressure were independently associated with cardiovascular risk. Home blood pressure had a modest superiority to predict cardiovascular prognosis compared to ambulatory blood pressure.

Summary: Hypertension is prevalent in Saudi Arabia, affecting approximately 28.6% of the population. Despite available treatments, optimal blood pressure control is often not achieved, emphasizing the need for effective management strategies. This study evaluated the usefulness of home blood pressure monitoring compared to clinic measurements for hypertension management in Saudi Arabia. Home blood pressure readings were significantly lower than clinic measurements, indicating the potential benefits of utilizing home blood pressure monitoring for more effective management strategies, including telehealth medicine.
