TL;DR: When clinic blood pressure is greater than 140/90 mmHg, the condition is referred to as hypertension as mentioned in this paper, and it is referred as hypertension when the condition occurs in patients with high blood pressure.

TL;DR: In this article, a double-blinded crossover study was conducted to evaluate whether a purified anthocyanin supplement improves cardiovascular metabolic risk factors and markers of inflammation and oxidative stress in prehypertensive participants, and whether plasma polyphenols are increased 1-3 h following intake.

TL;DR: The Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS) is central to blood pressure (BP) control and chronic overactivation of the RAAS occurs in a majority of cardiovascular disorders including hypertension as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The main outcome results of The ONgoing Telmisartan Alone and in combination with Ramipril Global Endpoint Trial (ONTARGET), Avoiding Cardiovascular Events through COMbination Therapy in Patients LIving with Systolic Hypertension (ACCOMPLISH) and The HYpertension in the Very Elderly Trial (HYVET) were presented by Salim Yusef, Kenneth Jamerson and Nigel Beckett.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the plasma levels of catecholamines, arginine vasopressin (AVP), and degree of pain in 22 patients with suspected uncomplicated myocardial infarction within 24 h following onset of chest pain.
