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

Elevated blood pressure predicts the risk of acute rejection in renal allograft recipients

TL;DR: Elevated BP levels post-transplant identify patients at high risk of AR independently of graft function, and it is hypothesized that high BP may be an indicator of a particular type of allograft damage, perhaps ischemic, that may predispose to AR.

Self-Blood Pressure Monitoring in an Urban, Ethnically Diverse Population A Randomized Clinical Trial Utilizing the Electronic Health Record

TL;DR: Results indicate these groups may have additional meaningful barriers to achieving blood pressure control beyond access to the monitor itself, and these types of minimally intensive approaches are important to test in all populations, especially those experiencing related health disparities, for broad implementation with limited resources.

Impact of baseline prehypertension on cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality in the general population: a meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies.

TL;DR: Subgroup analyses based on gender, age, and duration of follow-ups showed that high range of prehypertension was not associated with increase all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality and that cardiovascular mortality among hypertensives with age ≥65 years was notassociated withtherisk of CVD.
