Abstract
Since 1980, the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and American Heart Association (AHA) have translated scientific evidence into clinical practice guidelines (guidelines) with recommendations to improve cardiovascular health. In 2013, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Advisory

Mindfulness-Based Blood Pressure Reduction (MB-BP): Stage 1 single-arm clinical trial

TL;DR: Mindfulness-Based Blood Pressure Reduction has good acceptability and feasibility, and may engage with self-regulation and behavioral determinants of hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI

First-line treatment of essential hypertension: A real-world analysis across four antihypertensive treatment classes.

TL;DR: EMR show that actual prescribing behavior for first‐line treatment of essential hypertension reflects treatment guidelines, and patients taking either RAS blockers or diuretics experienced the lowest CV event rates.

Multiple Gestations and Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy: What Do We Know?

TL;DR: To improve outcomes and reduce inherent risks associated with multiple gestations, twins should be managed as high-risk pregnancies, and different from singletons.

First-line combination therapy versus first-line monotherapy for primary hypertension.

TL;DR: The numbers of included participants and, hence the number of events, were too small to draw any conclusion about the relative efficacy of monotherapy versus combination therapy as initial treatment for primary hypertension, and there is a need for large clinical trials that address the question and report clinically relevant endpoints.

Vitamin D and blood pressure control among hypertensive adults: results from NHANES 2001-2014.

TL;DR: Testing the association of serum vitamin D levels with the definition of uncontrolled BP according to European guidelines in treated hypertensive adults found 25 (OH)D levels might indicate host-specific features related to poor BP control.

Measuring inconsistency in meta-analyses

TL;DR: A new quantity is developed, I 2, which the authors believe gives a better measure of the consistency between trials in a meta-analysis, which is susceptible to the number of trials included in the meta- analysis.

Bias in meta-analysis detected by a simple, graphical test

TL;DR: Funnel plots, plots of the trials' effect estimates against sample size, are skewed and asymmetrical in the presence of publication bias and other biases Funnel plot asymmetry, measured by regression analysis, predicts discordance of results when meta-analyses are compared with single large trials.

Quantifying heterogeneity in a meta‐analysis

TL;DR: It is concluded that H and I2, which can usually be calculated for published meta-analyses, are particularly useful summaries of the impact of heterogeneity, and one or both should be presented in publishedMeta-an analyses in preference to the test for heterogeneity.
