TL;DR: It is suggested that the calcium channel blocker nitrendipine, given as a single antihypertensive medication, prevents cardiovascular complications in older patients with isolated systolic hypertension.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the left ventricular hypertrophy observed in cyclists is not associated with changes in ventricular stiffness, as estimated fromleft ventricular inflow Doppler velocimetry.

TL;DR: To reach a consensus on ambulatory blood pressure as a predictor of target-organ damage, morbidity and mortality, the members of task force III wrote this article in preparation for the Seventh International Consensus Conference.

TL;DR: Evidence that blood pressure may be reduced and hypertension prevented by decreasing body weight and sodium consumption is examined and it is suggested that hypertension can be prevented by avoiding excessive weight.

TL;DR: In this article, a multivariable logistic regression was used to determine the association between albumin excretion and MMSE score, cross-sectionally and prospectively, and whether angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor and/or angiotENSin receptor blocker use modified the association.
