Hypertension is a growing public health problem worldwide. Only 37% of American
hypertensives currently have their blood pressures controlled. Hypertension is traditionally …

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is being used increasingly in both clinical
practice and hypertension research. Although there are many guidelines that emphasize the …

Abstract Purpose of Review Sacubitril/valsartan (LCZ696) is a first-in-class, novel-acting,
angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) that provides inhibition of neprilysin and the …

Background—Few population studies addressed the prognostic significance of aortic pulse
wave velocity (APWV) above and beyond other cardiovascular risk factors. Methods and …

We hypothesized that the dynamic relation between diastolic and systolic blood pressure
over 24 hours provides a measure of arterial stiffness and might, therefore, predict …

Incidence, determinants, and outcome of atrial fibrillation in hypertensive subjects are
incompletely known. We followed for up to 16 years 2482 initially untreated subjects with …

Correlation between systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure (BP) level and target
organ damage, cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, and long-term prognosis is much greater …

Aortic stiffness predicts an excess risk of stroke, supposedly via cerebral small-vessel
disease. White matter hyperintensities, silent lacunar infarcts, and brain microbleeds …

Background It is uncertain whether left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) confers an increased
risk for cerebrovascular disease in apparently healthy patients with essential hypertension …

The association between BP and decline in kidney function in older persons and the BP
component most responsible for kidney disease are unknown. This study investigated the …
