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

Primary Care of Adult Patients After Stroke: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide patient-centered care to prevent recurrent stroke, maximize function, prevent late complications, and optimize quality of life, while engaging caregivers and family members in support of the patient.

Prevalence and control rates of hypertension in the USA: 2017–2018

TL;DR: One in every two persons ≥20 years in the USA has hypertension with only 39.64% on medications having well-controlled hypertension, indicating significant discrepancies exist in the burden and control rates in different subpopulation categories.

Optimal blood pressure targets for patients with hypertension: a systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: A target BP level of < 130/80 mm Hg appears to be optimal for CV protection in patients with hypertension, and subgroup analyses indicated that intensive BP-lowering treatment with a target of‪‬<‬130/ 80”mm”Hg and/or achievement of BP were associated with a significant reduction in major CV events compared with the usual group.

Nighttime dipping status and risk of cardiovascular events in patients with untreated hypertension: A systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: Untreated hypertensives may benefit more from the evaluation of reverse dipping rather than the non‐dipping phenomenon in general, and patients classified as dippers at baseline had significant lower risk of CVEs and total mortality compared to non-dippers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hypertension and Cardiovascular Mortality in Patients with Cushing Syndrome

TL;DR: Patients with Cushing syndrome have an increased mortality rate, primarily due to increased cardiovascular death, which is driven by hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and dyslipidemia, which should be evaluated before and after active hypercortisolism.

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.
