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

Age and sex affect deep learning prediction of cardiometabolic risk factors from retinal images.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that age and sex can be predicted reliably from a fundus image and that unique information is stored in the retina that relates to blood pressure, Haemoglobin A1c and relative fat mass.

Effect of Adherence to Antihypertensive Medication on the Long-Term Outcome After Hemorrhagic Stroke in Korea

TL;DR: This was a retrospective cohort study based on a nationwide health insurance claims database in South Korea and evaluated adherence to antihypertensive medication in patients with acute hemorrhagic stroke and its effects on long-term outcome.

Prevalence of Hypertension Among Pregnant Women When Using the 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Blood Pressure Guidelines and Association With Maternal and Fetal Outcomes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used electronic medical record data of women who delivered singleton infants between 2009 and 2014 at a large US regional health system to determine whether reclassification of hypertensive status using the 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) guideline definition better identifies women at risk for preeclampsia or eclampsias and adverse fetal/neonatal events compared with the current ACOG definition of hypertension.

Concurrent nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and type 2 diabetes: diagnostic and therapeutic considerations

TL;DR: There is a need for increased awareness on NAFLD adding liver disease as an end-organ complication of T2DM, and emphasis on use of simple non-invasive tools to triage patients with potentially severe liver disease should be made.

Association Between Hypertension and Kidney Function Decline: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study.

TL;DR: Compared to normotension, baseline hypertension status was associated with faster kidney function decline over 30-year follow-up in a general population cohort and this difference was attenuated among people using antihypertensive medications.

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.
