TL;DR: Masked hypertension occurred in 29% of untreated diabetics, had comparable cardiovascular risk as stage 1 hypertension, and would require considerable reduction in conventional blood pressure to reach daytime ambulatory treatment goal.

TL;DR: Overall and within- and between-visit BP variability did not predict total or cardiovascular mortality or the composite of any fatal plus nonfatal cardiovascular end point, and mean systolic BP was a significant predictor of all end points under study, independent of BP variability.

TL;DR: The urinary proteome refines the diagnosis of existing or progressing renal dysfunction and predicts cardiovascular complications.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that in unselected subjects RRI was significantly associated with central pulse pressure and left ventricular systolic and diastolic Doppler blood flow indexes, implying that in addition to the anthropometric characteristics, cardiac hemodynamic factors influence the intrarenal arterial doppler waveform patterns.

TL;DR: ABP refines risk stratification in normotension and prehypertension mainly by enabling the diagnosis of masked hypertension.
