2017 ACC/AHA/AAPA/ABC/ACPM/AGS/APhA/ASH/ASPC/NMA/PCNA Guideline for the Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Management of High Blood Pressure in Adults: A Report of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Task Force on Clinical Practice Guidelines

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

Blood pressure reduction for the secondary prevention of stroke: a Chinese trial and a systematic review of the literature

TL;DR: In conclusion, BP lowering by indapamide treatment reduced the recurrence of stroke and the incidence of cardiovascular events in Chinese patients with cerebrovascular disease.

Atrial fibrillation at baseline and during follow-up in ALLHAT (Antihypertensive and Lipid-Lowering Treatment to Prevent Heart Attack Trial).

TL;DR: Pre-existing and new-onset AF/AFL were associated with increased mortality in this high-risk hypertensive population and, excluding doxazosin, treatment assignment to either antihypertensive drugs or pravastatin versus usual care did not affect AF/ aFL incidence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of blood pressure lowering on outcome incidence in hypertension: 2. Effects at different baseline and achieved blood pressure levels--overview and meta-analyses of randomized trials.

TL;DR: Meta-analyses favor BP-lowering treatment even in grade 1 hypertension at low-to-moderate risk, and lowering SBP/DBP to less than 140/90 mmHg appears safe, but only adds further reduction in stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI

The association between blood pressure, age, and dietary sodium and potassium: a population study.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that dietary sodium and potassium are related to blood pressure within a population and age-adjusted systolic and diastolic blood pressure significantly inversely correlated with dietary potassium intake is supported.
