TL;DR: The results of the study demonstrate that the fixed combination of a calcium antagonist and an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor allows one to obtain an effective and balanced blood pressure control throughout the 24 h.

TL;DR: Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring adds to the diagnostic precision of clinic blood pressure measurement in assessing the severity of hypertension in this population.

TL;DR: This study indicates that LV wall thickness, different from LV mass index, does not provide a reliable estimate of cardiovascular risk associated with LVH in a general population, and it is recommended that echocardiographic laboratories should provide a systematic estimate of LVmass index, which is a strong, independent predictor of incident cardiovascular disease.

TL;DR: In patients at risk for cardiovascular events, high HR is associated with ED, whereas the effect of high SBP was not significant, suggesting that high resting HR might represent a cardiovascular risk indicator.
