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: This study found that there is no significant association between chronic coffee consumption and blood pressure changes, particularly when assessed through 24-hour ambulatory and home blood pressure monitoring. However, consuming coffee during the day can cause a slight increase in blood pressure, which disappears at night.

Summary: This meta-analysis of prospective studies found that increased systolic blood pressure variability is associated with a higher risk of poor functional outcomes in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage, regardless of the method used for assessment. The results suggest that systolic blood pressure variability can be a predictor of poor outcomes in this patient population.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the prognostic impact of 24-hour pulse pressure (PP), elastic PP (elPP) and stiffening PP (stPP) in elderly treated hypertensive patients. The results showed that 24-hour elPP is a predictor of cardiovascular events in elderly treated hypertensive patients.

Summary: The study found that 24-hour aortic systolic blood pressure (aSBP) was superior in its association with indices of arterial damage compared to 24-hour brachial systolic blood pressure (bSBP). It also demonstrated better discriminatory ability in detecting carotid hypertrophy and carotid atheromatosis. Additionally, the association was more pronounced in individuals with higher SBP amplification variability.

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: 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: This study identified DNA methylation regions that are significantly associated with 24-hour blood pressure phenotypes, which may serve as important markers for blood pressure regulation. The newly developed methylation sequencing method has potential for clinical testing and large-scale population screenings.

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: Midlife hypertension increases the risk of dementia. 24-hour blood pressure monitoring can improve the diagnosis and management of hypertension, as well as facilitate the prevention of vascular cognitive impairment and dementia.

Summary: Many pregnant women in the UK are choosing to self-monitor their blood pressure, but only half of them may communicate their readings to their antenatal care teams. Those who self-monitor appear to have better knowledge about their blood pressure.

Summary: This study found no evidence of an association between antihypertensive treatment and falls, but did find evidence of an association with mild (hyperkalaemia, hypotension) and severe adverse events (acute kidney injury, syncope). These findings can be used to guide shared decision making between doctors and patients, especially in high-risk patients with previous adverse events or poor renal function.

Summary: The study evaluated the design, methods, and reporting of impact studies of cardiovascular clinical prediction rules (CPRs). Most impact studies were found to either use inappropriate study design, have substantial risk of bias, or poorly adhere to reporting guidelines. The quality of methods and reporting did not show significant differences between impact and matched control studies. Users of CPRs should critically assess the evidence of the effectiveness of CPRs.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the associations between statins and adverse events in primary prevention of cardiovascular disease, while also examining how these associations varied by type and dosage of statins. The findings suggest that the benefits of statins in preventing cardiovascular disease generally outweigh the risks of adverse events, with little evidence to support tailoring the type or dosage of statins based on safety concerns.

Summary: This study found that blood pressure-lowering treatment is associated with an increased risk of serious adverse events, particularly in older and frail patients. The analysis suggests that prescribing new treatment in these populations may be just as likely to cause a serious fall as it would prevent a stroke or heart attack.
