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

Targeted afferent renal denervation reduces arterial pressure but not renal inflammation in established DOCA-salt hypertension in the rat

TL;DR: RDNx mitigates establishedDOCA-salt hypertension; the MAP responses to RDNx are primarily mediated by ablation of afferent renal nerves; and renal nerves do not contribute to the maintenance of renal inflammation in DOCA-Salt hypertension.

Patient Barriers and Facilitators to Ambulatory and Home Blood Pressure Monitoring: A Qualitative Study.

TL;DR: Patients' perspectives of the barriers and facilitators to undergoing ABPM or HBPM are explored to rule-out white coat hypertension and participants overwhelmingly believed that out-of-office testing benefits outweighed testing barriers.

Association Between Late-Life Blood Pressure and the Incidence of Cognitive Impairment: A Community-Based Prospective Cohort Study.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the association between late-life blood pressure and the incidence of cognitive impairment in older adults and found that high blood pressure was associated with a gradual increase in the risk of mild/moderate/severe cognitive impairment.

Hypertension Canada's 2020 Evidence Review and Guidelines for the Management of Resistant Hypertension

TL;DR: Hypertension Canada's inaugural evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis and management of resistant hypertension recommend that patients with blood pressure above target, despite use of 3 or more blood pressure-lowering drugs at optimal doses, be identified as those with apparent resistant hypertension.

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.
