TL;DR: The World Hypertension League with other organizations involved in dietary salt reduction have proposed a standardized nomenclature based on normal ancestral levels of salt intake and also on ranges of reduction in salt intake in clinical and population interventions that is likely to result in less confusion about Salt intake and interventions to reduce dietary sodium.

TL;DR: Clinical practice should focus less on pretreatment BP levels, which rarely predict future untreated BP levels or rule out capacity to benefit from BP lowering in high cardiovascular risk patients, and instead focus on prompt, empirical treatment to maintain lower BP for those with high BP and/or high risk.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the impact on the reported cause-of-death patterns of a verbal autopsy coding strategy based on a review of every death by multiple coders versus a single coder.
