Genetic analysis of over 1 million people identifies 535 new loci associated with blood pressure traits.

Evangelos Evangelou, +341 more
- 17 Sep 2018 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the largest genetic association study of blood pressure traits (systolic, diastolic and pulse pressure) to date in over 1 million people of European ancestry was conducted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide association analysis identifies novel blood pressure loci and offers biological insights into cardiovascular risk

Helen R. Warren, +74 more
- 01 Mar 2017 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report genetic association of blood pressure (systolic, diastolic, pulse pressure) among UK Biobank participants of European ancestry with independent replication in other cohorts, and robust validation of 107 independent loci.
Journal ArticleDOI

An international randomised placebo-controlled trial of a four-component combination pill ("polypill") in people with raised cardiovascular risk.

TL;DR: This polypill achieved sizeable reductions in SBP and LDL-cholesterol but caused side effects in about 1 in 6 people, the halving in predicted cardiovascular risk is moderately lower than previous estimates and the side effect rate is moderately higher.
