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

Interventions used to improve control of blood pressure in patients with hypertension

TL;DR: A Cochrane review was warranted to investigate how care for hypertensive patients should be organised and delivered in the community to help improve blood pressure control.
Journal ArticleDOI

Definitions and Epidemiological Aspects of Hypertensive Urgencies and Emergencies.

TL;DR: The definition, the prevalence, and the prognostic implications of hypertensive emergencies and urgencies are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drug-induced endocrine blood pressure elevation

TL;DR: The current review focuses on drugs that are likely to elevate blood pressure by affecting the human endocrine system at the level of steroid synthesis or metabolism, mineralocorticoid receptor activity, or by affects the catecholaminergic system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in clinical practice

TL;DR: There is ample evidence to show that ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is a better predictor of major cardiovascular events than BP measurements at clinic settings, and helps in reducing the number of possible false readings.

Effects of Tai Chi exercise on cardiovascular disease risk factors and quality of life in adults with essential hypertension: A meta-analysis.

TL;DR: Tai Chi lowers blood pressure, total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-C, and blood glucose and significantly increases the quality of life in adults with EH and there is strong evidence for the short-term efficacy of Tai Chi exercises.

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.
