TL;DR: The HOPE 4 project showed that a model of care led by non-physician health workers, supervised by primary care physicians, but also involving family members of the study participants and free medication, substantially improved cardiovascular risk and blood pressure control in the community.

Op0208 effect of serum urate lowering with allopurinol on blood pressure in young adults

TL;DR: In the intention-to-treat analysis, urate -lowering therapy with allopurinol in young adults did not lead to reductions in blood pressure when compared with placebo, and there was a trend towards significant blood pressure decreases in the small participant subgroup with serum urate of > 6.5 mg/dL at baseline visit.

366 ATRIAL NATRIURETIC PEPTIDE AND CYCLIC GUANOSINE MONOPHOSPHATE BLOCK THE STIMULATORY EFFECTS OF TRANSFORMING GROWTH FACTOR β1 ON EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX MESSENGER RIBONUCLEIC ACID EXPRESSION IN CULTURED PULMONARY ARTERY SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS

TL;DR: It is suggested that atrial natriuretic peptide and its second messenger cGMP have antifibrogenic effect by blocking TGF-β1-induced ECM expression in PASMCs, which may play an important role in the pulmonary vascular remodeling.
