As you know, the American Society of Hypertension merged into the American Heart Association (AHA) about a year ago, at which time the Journal of the American Society of Hypertension (JASH) became a publication of the AHA. Sadly, the AHA has decided not to continue featuring JASH as one of its journals. Thus, this issue represents that last issue of JASH. (Source: Journal of the American Society of Hypertension)

Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure Percentiles by Age and Gender in Northeastern Iran
Hypertension (HTN) is a major risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). Its frequency is increasing globally. The aim of our study was to evaluate the reference range of BP in the Iranian population stratified for age and gender. (Source: Journal of the American Society of Hypertension)

The variance of hypertension prevalence detected by epidemiological survey against clinical practice: data from a rural population in South China
This study included 1185 residents (age 21 –94, 62.6 ± 14.0 years, 491 males) for BP measurements over three separate visits within a 7-day period. The newly diagnosed hypertension on the first day BP value was recorded as hypertension by epidemiological method, whereas that on the average of 3-day BP values as hypertension by clinical method.

Editorial commentary on AHA Scientific Statement on meditation and cardiovascular risk reduction
We congratulate the authors 1 for acknowledging the potential role of meditation in cardiovascular disease (CVD). This is important because, as the authors point out, despite advances in conventional therapies, CVD remains a public health epidemic and requires innovative solutions. However, we believe that the authors have made two assumptions in the 2017 Statement that do not have sufficient evidence: (1) that all forms of meditation are supported by the same quantity and quality of scientific research, and (2) that all forms of meditation are approximately equal in effectiveness.

Renal Sonographic Changes in Heterogeneity Index and Echogenicity in Children with Hypertension: A Novel Assessment
The kidneys are thought to contribute to the pathogenesis of primary hypertension, but hypertension is also known to cause target organ damage in the kidney. Non-invasive methods to capture possible changes in the kidney related to hypertension are limited. A new program that has been used to quantify the heterogeneity and percent echogenicity in renal ultrasound (RUS) images was implemented to assess patients with hypertension.

A risk score for carotid plaque as an assessment risk of cardiovascular risk among patients with hypertension
This study aimed to describe the status of carotid plaques and develop a simple scoring system to predict the risk of carotid lesions in patients with hypertension. Basic testing for carotid plaques was carried out and used for risk score development (the training dataset, n=2665) and validation (the test dataset, n=1333). Independent predictors of carotid plaques from the multivariate model were assigned integer weights based on their coefficients and incorporated into a risk score. The discriminant ability of the score was tested by receiver operating characteristic analysis using the test dataset. (Source: Journal of th...

Neck circumference and blood pressure among children: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Emerging evidence suggested that large neck circumference (NC) in children and adolescents may be an indicator of increased blood pressure. We sought to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis regarding the association between NC and blood pressure in children. (Source: Journal of the American Society of Hypertension)

We are quite familiar with stark racial disparities in mortality that are due in large part to disparities in death rates from cardiovascular disease.1 We also are well aware of higher rates of hypertension and obesity in blacks versus whites in the United States.2 Less clear, however, are the factors that contribute to these established racial disparities. To this end, George Howard and colleagues conducted an elegant mediation analysis in an effort to identify factors contributing to racial differences in risk of hypertension and to estimate the proportion of back-white differences in hypertension incidence that is attri...
