Nonetheless, no randomized controlled trials exist in the treatment of masked hypertension. The aim of this randomized, placebo-controlled trial was to investigate the efficacy and safety of blood pressure (BP)-lowering treatment with a Chinese herbal formula, gastrodia-uncaria granules, in patients (...) with masked hypertension.

pressure; however, many children identified as having elevated blood pressure will not have hypertension. One study was done in a hypertension clinic in Greece, possibly limiting generalizability to a primary care population in the United States. The other study took place in a high school clinic .

How Does Evidence Fit With Biological Understanding? The proportion of children with primary hypertension who revert to normal blood pressure over time, without any intervention, and those who will continue to have hypertension in adulthood is unknown. Persistent elevation of blood pressure in adults is an established risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disorders and renal impairment. However, these conditions are often distant future

biopsy remains the reference standard for the assessment and diagnosis of cirrhosis, hepatic vein catheterization with measurement of the hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) is currently the benchmark technique for determining portal pressure. The HVPG quantifies the degree of portal hypertension due to sinusoidal resistance to blood flow. The HVPG is calculated as the difference between the wedged hepatic venous pressure and the free hepatic venous pressure. A normal HVPG is between 1 and 5 mmHg (...) ; Bill S.

Alcohol intake reduction for controlling hypertension. High blood pressure constitutes one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity all over the world. At the same time, heavy drinking increases the risk for developing cardiovascular diseases, including cardiomyopathy, hypertension, atrial arrhythmias, or stroke. Several studies have already assessed specifically the relationship between alcohol intake and hypertension. However, the potential effect on blood pressure of alcohol intake (...) reduction interventions is largely unknown.To assess the effect of any intervention to reduce alcohol intake in terms of blood pressure decrease in hypertensive people with alcohol consumption compared to a control intervention or no intervention at all.

The primary outcome of BP control was defined as systolic BP level lower than 140 mm Hg and diastolic BP level lower than 90 mm Hg.Among the 51 761 participants included in this analysis, the mean (SD) age was 48 (19) years and 25 939 (50.1

Blood pressure targets for the treatment of people with hypertension and cardiovascular disease. This is the second update of the review first published in 2017. Hypertension is a prominent preventable cause of premature morbidity and mortality. People with hypertension and established cardiovascular disease are at particularly high risk, so reducing blood pressure to below standard targets may be beneficial. This strategy could reduce cardiovascular mortality and morbidity but could also (...) 9484 participants. Mean follow-up was 3.7 years (range 1.0 to 4.7 years). All RCTs provided individual participant data. None of the included studies was blinded to participants or clinicians because of the need to titrate antihypertensives to reach a specific blood pressure goal. However, an independent committee blinded to group allocation assessed clinical events in all trials. Hence, we assessed all trials at high risk of performance bias and low risk of detection bias.

Pharmacotherapy for hyperuricaemia in hypertensive patients. This is the second update of this systematic review. High blood pressure represents a major public health problem. Worldwide, approximately one-fourth of the adult population has hypertension. Epidemiological and experimental studies suggest a link between hyperuricaemia and hypertension. Hyperuricaemia affects 25% to 40% of those with untreated hypertension; a much lower prevalence has been reported in those with normotension (...) or in the general population.

hypertension refers to the untreated condition in which BP is elevated in the office but is normal when measured by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), home blood pressure measurement (HBPM), or both. Masked hypertension refers to untreated patients in whom the BP is normal in the office but is elevated when measured by HBPM or ABPM.
