Summary: The prevalence and characteristics of isolated nocturnal hypertension (INH) and masked nocturnal hypertension (MNH) in a tertiary hospital in Buenos Aires were investigated. The study found that 15.7% of patients had INH and 9.7% had MNH. Factors associated with INH included age, male sex, and ambulatory heart rate, while MNH was associated with diabetes and nighttime heart rate.

Summary: This study developed a simple predictive score for diagnosing nocturnal hypertension using nationwide data. The score takes into account factors such as gender, BMI, diabetes, and blood pressure levels to predict the presence of nocturnal hypertension. It can be used in clinical settings for diagnosing patients.

Summary: In this study, it was found that nighttime home systolic blood pressure was significantly higher in summer compared to other seasons, and the prevalence of elevated nighttime home systolic blood pressure in patients with cardiovascular risks was highest in summer.

Summary: Short sleep duration and nocturnal hypertension may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, especially stroke. Maintaining optimal sleep duration and controlling nocturnal hypertension are crucial for reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Summary: This study found that subclinical reductions in kidney function in young adults are associated with an increased cardiovascular risk. The relative risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and MACE plus heart failure (MACE+) was higher in young adults with eGFR below age-expected values. Age-appropriate risk stratification, proactive monitoring, and timely intervention are warranted.

Summary: The study identifies a phenomenon called masked uncontrolled apparent resistant hypertension (MUCRH) in hypertensive patients, which is associated with cardiovascular mortality and cerebrovascular events. MUCRH may be an independent predictor for these events.

Summary: Hypertension, diabetes, and lipoprotein metabolism disorders mediate the association between miscarriage and various cardiovascular outcomes. Hypertension plays the largest role in mediating the relationship between miscarriage and atherosclerotic cardiovascular events. Women who have experienced miscarriage should be regularly monitored for blood pressure, blood lipids, and glucose to reduce their long-term cardiovascular risk.

Summary: This study examines the rates of perinatal admissions for respiratory, cardiac, and cardiovascular diseases in England and finds that intrauterine hypoxia, neonatal respiratory distress, and other perinatal respiratory issues are common causes for hospital admissions. The study also shows an increase in admission rates for both males and females.

Summary: Women with a history of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) have an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in later life, especially within the first 5 years postpartum. Preeclamptic women have a higher risk of CVDs compared to women with normotensive pregnancies.

Summary: Skin microvascular function in newly diagnosed untreated essential hypertension and masked hypertension patients was significantly impaired, showing a negative association with blood pressure and cardiovascular risk factors. Laser speckle contrast imaging coupled with postocclusive reactive hyperemia could be a useful tool in investigating microvascular function in hypertension.

Summary: The study found that RSV epidemics mainly occur in winter in most temperate countries, lasting 10-21 weeks. More variation in seasonality was observed in (sub)tropical countries, with substantial differences at a subnational level. There was no clear association between epidemic timing and the dominant RSV subtype.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of masked nocturnal hypertension (MUCH) and blood pressure patterns in apparently well-controlled hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The study found that half of the patients were non-dippers or reverse dippers, experiencing elevated nocturnal blood pressure values and meeting the definition of MUCH. The study suggests that ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) can provide better risk stratification and control of hypertension in patients with diabetes and hypertension.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the occurrence of sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBDs) in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and explore the effect of pulmonary hemodynamics and SRBD indices on the severity of nocturnal hypoxemia (NH). The results showed that SRBDs were highly prevalent in CTEPH patients and severe NH was common. Age, mean pulmonary arterial pressure, and apnea-hypopnea index were identified as independent determinants of severe NH.

Summary: Masked hypertension (MH), defined as normal office blood pressure but elevated ambulatory blood pressure, increases the risk of subclinical cardiovascular outcomes in children. This study found a high prevalence of MH in children with various comorbidities and demonstrated the association between MH and subclinical cardiovascular outcomes.

Summary: The study revealed that isolated nocturnal systolic hypertension is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular events, while nocturnal systolic-diastolic hypertension is associated with higher risks of both kidney failure and cardiovascular events. Isolated nocturnal diastolic hypertension, on the other hand, showed no significant association with either kidney failure or cardiovascular events.
