Summary: Potassium is the main intracellular cation that plays a vital role in maintaining cellular functions. Kidney function is crucial in regulating serum potassium levels, and tailored potassium management is necessary for individuals with impaired renal function. Abnormalities in potassium metabolism can lead to dangerous arrhythmias or sudden cardiac death, emphasizing the importance of monitoring and early intervention for high-risk patients.

Summary: This study found that the baseline salt intake of hypertensive patients in Shanxi Province was high, and there was a positive correlation between urinary sodium excretion and blood pressure. Controlling urinary sodium concentration may help regulate blood pressure rhythm.

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: Results from this study indicate that while reducing salt intake can lower blood pressure, spot urinary sodium data exhibit extreme within-person variability in their associations with blood pressure and cardiovascular disease risk, which limits the ability to establish definitive associations for future blood pressure and cardiovascular disease risk.

Summary: This study analyzed data from six prospective cohorts of healthy adults and found that higher sodium and lower potassium intakes, estimated from multiple 24-hour urine samples, were associated in a dose-dependent manner with a higher cardiovascular risk.

Summary: Several outcome-based prospective investigations have shown the prognostic value of 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in cardiovascular risk stratification. Average 24-hour, daytime, and nighttime blood pressures are essential components that improve risk assessment beyond traditional factors. However, the interpretation and clinical use of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring need standardization, and implementing its results in individual patient management remains challenging.

Summary: Estimating urinary sodium excretion through the average of multiple random urine samples from different days is more accurate and practical compared to a single urine collection. This method showed excellent precision and accuracy in measuring sodium excretion, as confirmed by external validation and samples collected 6 months apart.

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: Studies have shown that a single bout of acute aerobic exercise can effectively reduce 24-hour, daytime, and nighttime blood pressure in hypertensive patients, with similar effects in both medicated and non-medicated individuals. Aerobic exercise has the most significant impact on blood pressure, while resistance or combined (aerobic and resistance) exercise has no significant effects on blood pressure.

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: 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: This study investigated the impact of white-coat effect on the circadian rhythm of urinary water and salt excretion. It found a higher night/day ratio of urinary water excretion in the white-coat effect group, but no significant differences in the circadian pattern of urinary sodium excretion. This has potential implications for hypertension prevention, but further research is needed to understand the clinical significance of the impact on the night/day ratio of water excretion.

Summary: In Chinese population, there is a positive association between estimated urinary sodium excretion and blood pressure, with a possible J-shaped pattern of association between sodium excretion and clinical outcomes, with the lowest risk in participants with sodium excretion between 3 and 5 g/day.

Summary: The study revealed significant bias and poor correlation in predicting 24-hour urinary sodium excretion among Chinese adults using eight existing methods, indicating their limited validity for individual level estimation.

Summary: The study suggests that higher diastolic BP and asleep SBP may be risk factors for subclinical atherosclerosis, highlighting the potential role of ambulatory BP monitoring in identifying individuals at high risk for coronary artery disease.
