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 and Its Role in Cognitive Function: Current Evidence and Challenges for the Future

TL;DR: Results from randomized trials of antihypertensive therapy for the prevention of cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease that include cognitive endpoints do not strongly support the observational evidence that treatment of hypertension should be better for cognition, and it is proposed that future clinical trials should consider including dementia biomarkers and assess genetic and cardiometabolic risk factors that have been associated with progression of the underlying disease pathology.

National Surveillance Definitions for Hypertension Prevalence and Control Among Adults

TL;DR: Standard definitions of hypertension prevalence and control among adults and standard parameters for age-adjustment and population composition that will enable meaningful population comparisons and monitoring of trends are presented.

Influence of exercise at lower and higher intensity on blood pressure and cardiovascular risk factors at older age

TL;DR: Higher and lower intensity training reduces systolic office and exercise blood pressure to a similar extent, but does not alter ambulatory blood pressure; only higher intensity training favourably affects anthropometric characteristics and blood lipids.

Comparison of the sex-specific associations between systolic blood pressure and the risk of cardiovascular disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis of 124 cohort studies, including 1.2 million individuals.

TL;DR: Elevated levels of SBP are a major risk factor for stroke and ischemic heart diseases in both women and men, and this study unequivocally demonstrates the broadly similar impact ofSBP increments on cardiovascular outcomes in both sexes.
