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

Nighttime home blood pressure as a mediator of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide in cardiovascular events.

TL;DR: In this article, the association between N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) events is mediated in part by a pathway of increased nighttime blood pressure (BP) that involves volume overload.
Journal ArticleDOI

Blood pressure measurement in special populations and circumstances.

TL;DR: Issues relating to the measurement of BP and the diagnosis of hypertension in selected special populations, as well as in low‐resource settings, where a simplified yet efficient evaluation strategy is necessary are discussed.

The effect of dietary fiber (oat bran) supplement on blood pressure in patients with essential hypertension: A randomized controlled trial.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of supplementing relatively sufficient dietary fiber (DF) on patients with essential hypertension (HTN) was explored, where one bag of oat bran (30 grams/d) supplement (containing DF 8.9 grams) was delivered to the DF group and the office BP, 24h ambulatory blood pressure, and gut microbiota were measured at baseline and third month.

Multiple poor sleep characteristics and metabolic abnormalities consistent with metabolic syndrome among white, black, and Hispanic/Latina women: modification by menopausal status.

TL;DR: Poor sleep was positively associated with MetS prevalence and Associations between individual poor sleep characteristics were stronger among premenopausal compared to postmenopausal women but did not vary by race/ethnicity.

Psychological distress in older adults linked to immigrant status, dietary intake, and physical health conditions in the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA)

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the relationship between Kessler's psychological distress Scale-K10 and immigrant status (recent/mid-term, 24), and found that nutritional factors, immigration status, social, and health-related problems are strongly associated with psychological distress among midlife and older adults.

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.
