Hypertension shows a direct and indirect association with all stroke subtypes; the strongest association is observed between hypertension and SVD (which predisposes to LI and ICH), a modest association is observed with LAA, and an indirect association with NVAF and the development and enlargement of cerebral aneurysms. Direct and indirect association between hypertension and etiology of all stroke subtypes would underline the closest association between stroke and hypertension among vascular risk factors and explain the importance of blood pressure management for secondary stroke prevention.
We recruited 3051 participants without hypertension and heart diseases for two consecutive years. Participants in the highest quartile of annual changes in daily salt intake showed the largest annual changes in plasma BNP. We concluded that annual changes in plasma BNP indicated a significant positive association with daily salt intake.
Heterogenous BP responses after RDN for resistant hypertension. The bar graph represents the difference in SBP at 6 months after RDN compared with the baseline SBP, for each patient (1A). Efficacy of the renal denervation procedure. Percentage of patients whose SBP decreased ≥10 mmHg from baseline or whose medication decreased from baseline (1B).

This study aims to update the understanding of the pathogenesis of pulmonary arterial hypertension by untargeted metabolomics analysis of explanted lung tissues.
The very short-term beat-by-beat BPV in the supine position at rest correlates well with nocturnal BPV assessed by ABPM but did not correlate with daytime BPV. Differences in the daytime and nocturnal activity levels may have influenced the difference in association with BPV in the very short resting supine position.
Not a few patients initiate maintenance dialysis in an unplanned fashion. RAS inhibitor therapy in patients with advanced CKD is associated with a lower risk of unplanned dialysis initiation.
AAP guideline is more sensitive and decisive for BP phenotypes in detecting LVH, especially in normal-weight children ≤ 15 years, while ABPM thresholds defined for children at any age have limites effect.
