Summary: The study evaluated the features and impact of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) conducted in Italian community pharmacies. It found that younger age, use of antihypertensive medications, presence of cardiovascular risk factors, comorbidities, testing in colder months, and residence in cooler regions were associated with better monitoring quality. Patients with valid recordings had higher ambulatory blood pressure levels, prevalence of ambulatory hypertension, and lower prevalence of masked hypertension. Repeating the ABPM increased the odds of obtaining a valid recording.

Summary: Through the analysis of the TEMPLAR study, we found that ABP patterns and phenotypes change with age, such as the narrowing difference between daytime and nighttime BP, increased prevalence of nocturnal hypertension, increased BP variability, and the risk of cardiovascular events should be carefully considered when managing BP in the elderly.

Summary: The study found that brushing teeth three times a day or more and using an electric toothbrush are associated with a lower likelihood of hypertension. Regular daily brushing and electric toothbrush use are linked to a healthier blood pressure profile in real-world settings.

Summary: This study found that long-term exposure to anthropogenic heat is associated with elevated blood pressure and increased risk of hypertension, with a stronger association observed in female participants.

Summary: Current evidence is insufficient to support different hypertension treatment targets in older adults. This study evaluated whether frailty modifies the association between systolic blood pressure (SBP) and 8-year all-cause mortality in community-dwelling older adults. The results suggest that frailty may have a protective effect on all-cause mortality in frail older adults with respect to elevated SBP.

Summary: This study examined the prevalence, correlates, and prognosis of hypertension-mediated organ damage (HMOD) in a community-based study. The findings showed that the prevalence of HMOD varied across different blood pressure guidelines and that the presence of HMOD increased the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Summary: In this study, office systolic blood pressure showed weak association with stroke, central blood pressure was not significantly associated with stroke, but all ambulatory blood pressure variables (systolic and diastolic) were significantly linked to stroke. Additionally, ambulatory diastolic blood pressure was found to be a stronger predictor of stroke compared to ambulatory systolic blood pressure.

Summary: The study found that long-term exposure to ultrafine particles was associated with elevated blood pressure and increased risk of hypertension, especially in women and overweight/obese participants.

Summary: The study found a U-shaped association between the percentage of energy consumed from total carbohydrate and new-onset hypertension, with the lowest risk observed at 50% to 55% carbohydrate intake. Low intake of high-quality carbohydrate and high intake of low-quality carbohydrate were associated with increased risks of hypertension.

Summary: The study demonstrates that coordinated efforts from health department leaders, community organizations, and clinical providers can effectively promote the use of self-measured blood pressure monitoring (SMBP) among patients with hypertension and increase patient engagement.

Summary: By analyzing the association between lifetime classic psychedelic use and hypertension in the past year among adults in the United States, it was found that individuals who had used tryptamines, a class of classic psychedelics, at least once in their lifetime had significantly lower odds of hypertension. Rigorous randomized controlled trials are needed to further investigate the potential causal pathways of classic psychedelics on 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: Regular daily intake of 4 g acetaminophen increases systolic and diastolic blood pressure in individuals with hypertension, raising cardiovascular risks and questioning the safety of regular acetaminophen use in this context.
