TLDR
Since 1980, the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association have translated scientific evidence into clinical practice guidelines (guidelines) with recommendations to improve cardiovascular health.
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

Hypertension: history and development of established and novel treatments

TL;DR: Despite the development of tolerable and effective drugs, new treatments in the field of neuroendocrine modulation by drugs and devices are still under development trying to further improve treatment of patients with hypertension and to further reduce cardiovascular events in those individuals.

Effect of Postural Hypotension on Recurrent Stroke: Secondary Prevention of Small Subcortical Strokes (SPS3) Study.

TL;DR: OH was associated with increased recurrent stroke risk, vascular events, and all-cause death in this large cohort of lacunar stroke patients, and Cox proportional hazards regression modeling was used to compare the risk of outcomes among those with and without OH.

Primary hyperparathyroidism and hypertension.

TL;DR: This review will examine the evidence linking primary hyperparathyroidism and cardiovascular disease, specifically hypertension, and evaluate the available literature regarding the natural history of hypertension after successful parathyroidectomy.

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.
