Metabolic Syndrome in the Pressioni Arteriose Monitorate E Loro Associazioni (PAMELA) Study: Daily Life Blood Pressure, Cardiac Damage, and Prognosis

TL;DR: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its relationship with daily life blood pressure, cardiac damage, and prognosis were determined in 2013 subjects from a Northern Italian population aged 25 to 74 years as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discontinuation of and changes in drug therapy for hypertension among newly-treated patients: a population-based study in Italy.

TL;DR: In the general population of Lombardia, discontinuation of the initial single antihypertensive drug treatment is a common phenomenon, whereas switching to another monotherapy and to combination treatment occur at similarly much lower rates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring use in hypertension research and clinical practice

TL;DR: In his article on blood pressure measurement by sphygmomanometry published in 1897 in the Gazzetta Medica di Torino,' Riva Rocci wrote the following: "Blood pressure is acted upon, in a temporary but pronounced fashion, by the state of 'psychic' excitation of the patient".
Journal ArticleDOI

Weather-Related Changes in 24-Hour Blood Pressure Profile: Effects of Age and Implications for Hypertension Management

TL;DR: The results show for the first time that hot weather is associated with an increase in systolic pressure at night in treated elderly hypertensive subjects, which may be because of a nocturnal BP escape from the effects of a lighter summertime drug regimen.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevalence of left-ventricular hypertrophy in hypertension: an updated review of echocardiographic studies.

TL;DR: Despite the improved management of hypertension in the last two decades, LVH remains a highly frequent biomarker of cardiac damage in the hypertensive population and calls for a more aggressive treatment of hypertension and related CV risk factors leading to LVH.
