Diagnosing hypertension in Indigenous Canadians (DREAM ‐GLOBAL): A randomized controlled trial to compare the effectiveness of short message service messaging for management of hypertension: Main results
Hypertension, the leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, affects more than 1  billion people globally. The rise in mobile health in particular the use of mobile phones and short message service (SMS) to support disease management provides an opportunity to improve hypertension awareness, treatment, and control, in remote and vulnerable patient populations. The primary objec tive of this randomized controlled study was to assess the effect of active (with hypertension specific management SMS) or passive (health behaviors SMS alone) on the difference in blood pressure (BP) reduction between the active and ...

The associations of lipids and lipid ratios with stroke: A prospective cohort study
In conclusion, TC/HDL‐C ratio may better predict stroke risk in men, whereas TG was more valuable in predicting stroke risk in women. TC/HDL‐C and TG may help to discriminate high stroke risk individuals and serve as potential targets for stroke prevention. (Source: The Journal of Clinical Hypertension)

Cardio ‐ankle vascular index and cardiovascular disease: Systematic review and meta‐analysis of prospective and cross‐sectional studies
The cardio ‐ankle vascular index (CAVI) is a new measure of arterial stiffness that reflects the stiffness from the ascending aorta to the ankle arteries, and demonstrates little dependence on blood pressure during the evaluation. However, a comprehensive assessment of the association of CAVI with cardiovasc ular disease (CVD) has not been reported. We performed a systematic review to assess the association between CAVI and CVD. We searched for both prospective and cross‐sectional studies using MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane from inception until April 11, 2017. We pooled the results using random‐effe cts models. Among...

Non ‐invasive measurement of reservoir pressure parameters from brachial‐cuff blood pressure waveforms
In conclusion, both brachial‐cuff and central‐cuff methods can reasonably estimate intra‐aortic RP, whereas XSP can only be acceptably derived from brachial‐cuff BP waveforms. This should enable widespread application to determine the clinical sig nificance, but there is significant room for refinement of the method. (Source: The Journal of Clinical Hypertension)

Home blood pressure control status in 2017 ‐2018 for hypertension specialist centers in Asia: Results of the Asia BP@Home study
In conclusion, the Asia BP@Home study demonstrated that home BP is relatively well controlled at hypertension specialist centers in Asia. However, alm ost half of patients remain uncontrolled for morning BP according to new guidelines, with significant country/regional differences. Strict home BP control should be beneficial in Asian populations. The findings of this study are important to facilitate development of health policies focused on reduc ing cardiovascular complications in Asia. (Source: The Journal of Clinical Hypertension)

Relationships between residual blood pressure variability and cognitive function in the general population of the PAMELA study
The present study was aimed at assessing the relationships between absolute and individual residual blood pressure (BP) variability and cognitive function in a general population. This cross ‐sectional study evaluated cognitive function using minimental state evaluation (MMSE) in 471 subjects enrolled in the PAMELA study. MMSE was calculated 10 years after initial enrollment of the subjects in the PAMELA study. Measurements included office, home, and 24‐hour ambulatory BP monitorin g. BP variability was obtained by calculating: (a) 24‐hour standard deviation (SD) for systolic and diastolic BP and (b) individual resi...

Antihypertensive therapy prescribing patterns and correlates of blood pressure control among hypertensive patients with chronic kidney disease
We used electronic health records (EHRs) data from 5658 ambulatory chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with hypertension and prescribed antihypertensive therapy to examine antihypertensive drug prescribing patterns, blood pressure (BP) control, and risk factors for resistant hypertension (RHTN) in a real ‐world setting. Two‐thirds of CKD patients and three‐fourths of those with proteinuria were prescribed guideline‐recommended renoprotective agents including an angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB); however, one‐third were not prescribed an ACEI or ARB. CKD pa...
