2014 Evidence-Based Guideline for the Management of High Blood Pressure in Adults: Report From the Panel Members Appointed to the Eighth Joint National Committee (JNC 8)
Paul A. James,Suzanne Oparil,Barry L. Carter,William C. Cushman,Cheryl Dennison-Himmelfarb,Joel Handler,Daniel T. Lackland,Michael L. LeFevre,Thomas D. MacKenzie,Olugbenga Ogedegbe,Sidney C. Smith,Laura P. Svetkey,Sandra J. Taler,Raymond R. Townsend,Jackson T. Wright,Andrew S. Narva,Eduardo Ortiz +16 more
TL;DR: Although this guideline provides evidence-based recommendations for the management of high BP and should meet the clinical needs of most patients, these recommendations are not a substitute for clinical judgment, and decisions about care must carefully consider and incorporate the clinical characteristics and circumstances of each individual patient.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Controlled Trial of Renal Denervation for Resistant Hypertension
Deepak L. Bhatt,David E. Kandzari,John M. Flack,Barry T. Katzen,Martin B. Leon,Minglei Liu,Laura Mauri,Manuela Negoita,Sidney Cohen,Suzanne Oparil,Krishna J. Rocha-Singh,Raymond R. Townsend,George L. Bakris,Abstr Act +13 more
TL;DR: This blinded trial did not show a significant reduction of systolic blood pressure in patients with resistant hypertension 6 months after renal-artery denervation as compared with a sham control.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kusek,Martin G. Keane,Myles Wolf +35 more
TL;DR: It is reported that elevated FGF23 levels are independently associated with LVH in a large, racially diverse CKD cohort and suggested that chronically elevated F GF23 levels contribute directly to high rates of LVH and mortality in individuals with CKD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fibroblast growth factor 23 is elevated before parathyroid hormone and phosphate in chronic kidney disease.
Tamara Isakova,Patricia Wahl,Gabriela Vargas,Orlando M. Gutiérrez,Julia J. Scialla,Huiliang Xie,Dina Appleby,Lisa Nessel,Keith Bellovich,Jing Chen,L. Lee Hamm,Crystal A. Gadegbeku,Edward Horwitz,Raymond R. Townsend,Cheryl A.M. Anderson,James P. Lash,Chi-yuan Hsu,Mary B. Leonard,Myles Wolf +18 more
TL;DR: Increased FGF23 is a common manifestation of CKD that develops earlier than increased phosphate or PTH, and may be a sensitive early biomarker of disordered phosphorus metabolism in patients with CKD and normal serum phosphate levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recommendations for Improving and Standardizing Vascular Research on Arterial Stiffness: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association
Raymond R. Townsend,Ian B. Wilkinson,Ernesto L. Schiffrin,Alberto Avolio,Julio A. Chirinos,John R. Cockcroft,Kevin S. Heffernan,Edward G. Lakatta,Carmel M. McEniery,Gary F. Mitchell,Samer S. Najjar,Wilmer W. Nichols,Elaine M. Urbina,Thomas Weber +13 more
TL;DR: The field of arterial stiffness investigation, which has exploded over the past 20 years, has proliferated without logistical guidance for clinical and research studies, and questions that remain to be addressed in this field are addressed.
