Summary: In untreated children, the 24-hour ESH and combined ESH thresholds have similar agreement for diagnosing hypertension, but the combined ESH threshold has significantly higher AUC in office hypertension patients.

Summary: Using ambulatory blood pressure monitor data, the study suggests that isolated diastolic hypertension defined by 2017 ACC/AHA criteria is not a risk factor for cardiovascular disease in adults aged 50 years or older but is a risk factor among younger adults. Age is an important consideration in the clinical management of adults with isolated diastolic hypertension.

Summary: Resistant hypertension is an important cardiovascular risk factor that significantly increases the risk of heart failure and overall cardiovascular events. Patients with true resistant hypertension had a higher risk of cardiovascular events and heart failure compared to those with well-controlled nonresistant hypertension or uncontrolled nonresistant hypertension. Proper diagnosis and treatment of resistant hypertension are crucial in preventing cardiovascular disease events.

Summary: This study compared the antihypertensive effects of two drug combinations in hypertensive patients, and found that both combinations were highly effective in reducing peripheral and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of blood pressure reduction.

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: Traditionally, respiratory sleep indices have been reported based on average total sleep time. This study investigates the relationship between the hour-to-hour variability of these indices and blood pressure. The results show that the hour-to-hour variability of AHI and ODI is independently associated with 24-hour pulse pressure, indicating the potential clinical relevance of this new-found association.

Summary: The study aims to evaluate the prevalence of hypertension and albuminuria in children discharged from the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and their association with acute kidney injury (AKI). The results showed that blood pressure abnormalities are common 7 years after PICU admission and further long-term studies are needed to evaluate the association between AKI and hypertension.

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: Hypertension is the most common risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF) and screening for potential AF during blood pressure measurement can be a valuable tool for early detection. This study evaluated the frequency of irregular pulse rates suggestive of AF in subjects undergoing ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), and compared the characteristics of low risk and high risk patients. The results showed that subjects at high risk of AF had specific patterns in their blood pressure and pulse rate measurements. Using ABPM to simultaneously measure blood pressure and screen for potential AF in elderly individuals may help improve blood pressure control and detect high risk subjects. However, a confirmation by electrocardiogram (ECG) is necessary for a diagnosis of AF.

Summary: In young patients with recent cryptogenic ischemic stroke, non-dipping patterns of blood pressure were associated with a higher risk of stroke. The study suggests that ambulatory blood pressure monitoring may be useful in the diagnostic work-up for young patients with ischemic stroke.

Summary: This study demonstrates the bioequivalence of test and reference valsartan/amlodipine formulations under fasting and postprandial conditions through a clinical trial. The participants were randomly divided into three sequences and underwent crossover administration. The average bioequivalence and reference-scaled average bioequivalence methods were used to evaluate the pharmacokinetic parameters.

Summary: Abnormal blood pressure regulation is a common feature of autonomic dysfunction in Parkinson's disease patients. This study found significant differences in circadian blood pressure rhythm between different disease stages and subtypes of PD patients, with reverse dipping being more common in advanced PD patients. 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is crucial for evaluating blood pressure alterations in PD patients and clinicians should be vigilant about reverse dipping to prevent serious clinical events.

Summary: In this study, long-term follow-up was conducted on patients who underwent renal sympathetic denervation therapy using radiofrequency. The results showed that renal sympathetic denervation can lead to long-term blood pressure reduction without negative effects on renal function.

Summary: This study found a link between air pollution and blood pressure (BP), especially hypertension. Results also showed differences in BP measurement results obtained using different methods. For every 10 μg/m3 rise in sulfur dioxide (SO2) values, there was an increase in systolic BP and diastolic BP. However, SO2 and PM10 had no effect on home measurements.
