TL;DR: In this article, a 10-second electrocardiogram was obtained at baseline in the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) Study HRV was measured by the standard deviation of all R-R intervals (SDNN) and the root mean square of successive differences between R-r intervals (RMSSD) Results showed that lower HRV is associated with older age, lack of exercise, heart failure, elevated phosphorus and hemoglobin A1c, and low estimated glomerular filtration rate After a median follow-up of 42 years, in fully

TL;DR: This study indicates that cystatin C‐based eGFR and albuminuria are better predictors for risk of heart failure compared to creatinine‐based EGFR.

TL;DR: While both adherence measures were associated with BP control, pharmacy refill but not self-report antihypertensive medication adherence was associated with incident CVD, the differences in these associations may be because of the distinctions in what each adherence measure assesses.

TL;DR: There was a strong dose–response relationship between the number of risk alleles of these independent single-nucleotide polymorphisms and the risk of developing hypertension during the 7.5-year follow-up in the study participants.

TL;DR: The first evidence of transethnic replication of several mean arterial and pulse pressure loci in an East Asian population is presented.
