How can we improve adherence to blood pressure-lowering medication in ambulatory care? Systematic review of randomized controlled trials.

TL;DR: Reducing the number of daily doses appears to be effective in increasing adherence to blood pressure-lowering medication and should be tried as a first-line strategy, although there is so far less evidence of an effect on blood pressure reduction.

Sodium, Blood Pressure, and Cardiovascular Disease Further Evidence Supporting the American Heart Association Sodium Reduction Recommendations

TL;DR: A detailed review of selected observational studies and a meta-analysis documents substantial methodological concerns that limit the usefulness of these studies in setting, much less reversing, dietary recommendations.

Electrophysiologic and electroanatomic changes in the human atrium associated with age.

TL;DR: Ageing is associated with regional conduction slowing, anatomically determined conduction delay at the crista, and structural changes that include areas of low voltage that may explain the increased propensity to AF with aging.

The INTERSALT Study: background, methods, findings, and implications.

TL;DR: Findings from the INTERSALT Study support the judgment that habitual high salt intake is one of the quantitatively important, preventable mass exposures causing the unfavorable population-wide blood pressure pattern that is a major risk factor for epidemic cardiovascular disease.
