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

Use of Antihypertensive Agents and Association With Risk of Adverse Outcomes in Chronic Kidney Disease: Focus on Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors and Angiotensin Receptor Blockers.

TL;DR: Ang Elliotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitor and angiotensin receptor blocker use decreased, while use of other agents increased with advancing CKD, suggesting use of agents besides angiotenedin‐ Converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotENSin receptor blockers may be associated with suboptimal outcomes in patients with CKD.

Isolated Diastolic Hypertension in the UK Biobank: Comparison of ACC/AHA and ESC/NICE Guideline Definitions.

TL;DR: The proportion of UK Biobank participants with IDH was significantly higher by the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association definition compared with the ESC and NICE definitions; however, only the ESC/NICE definition was statistically associated with increased CVD risk.

Initial Treatment of Hypertension

TL;DR: The 2017 ACC–AHA Hypertension Guideline redefines hypertension as a systolic blood pressure of 130 mm Hg or more or a diastolicBlood pressure of 80 mm HG or more and lowers the blood‐pressure target to less than 130/80mm Hg.

Impact of Self-Monitoring of Blood Pressure on Processes of Hypertension Care and Long-Term Blood Pressure Control.

TL;DR: One year of SMBP plus telemonitoring or self‐management increases the likelihood of antihypertensive intensification and could improve BP control rates at 5 years; continuing SMBP for 5 years could further improveBP control.

ACE inhibitors and ARBs: Managing potassium and renal function

TL;DR: The indications for ACE inhibitors and ARBs are reviewed and advice for managing their adverse effects is offered, particularly declining renal function and hyperkalemia.

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.
