TL;DR: Comparing risk estimates of myocardial infarction and venous thromboembolism by atherosclerotic risk factors during long follow-up using time-fixed analyses without and with correction for regression dilution and time-varying analyses found that risk estimates based on baseline and repeated measures corresponded well, whereas correction for regressions dilution tended to overestimate risks.

TL;DR: This consensus document was conceived to provide a comprehensive overview of current knowledge on sex differences in essential hypertension including BP development over the life course, development of hypertension, pathophysiologic mechanisms regulating BP, interaction of BP with CV risk factors and co-morbidities, hypertension-mediated organ damage in the heart and the arteries, impact on incident CV disease, and differences in the effect of antihypertensive treatment.

TL;DR: A novel finding is the positive association between RHR and AF in men and the sex difference in association with ischaemic stroke, which is an independent risk factor for several cardiovascular events.

TL;DR: The study shows that the death rate in patients infected with hepatitis C is 6.66 times higher than in the general Norwegian population.

TL;DR: To investigate the validity of self‐reported information about hypertensive disorders in previous pregnancies among women participating in the fourth survey of the Tromsø Study, a large number of women reported having suffered from these disorders during previous pregnancies.
