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

Relationship of blood pressure, antihypertensive therapy, and outcome in ischemic stroke treated with intravenous thrombolysis: retrospective analysis from Safe Implementation of Thrombolysis in Stroke-International Stroke Thrombolysis Register (SITS-ISTR)

TL;DR: There is a strong association of high systolic BP after thrombolysis with poor outcome, whereas initiation of antihypertensive therapy in newly recognized moderate hypertension was associated with a favorable outcome.

Single versus combined blood pressure components and risk for cardiovascular disease: the Framingham Heart Study.

TL;DR: The combination of PP+MAP (unlike SBP+DBP) has a monotonic relation with risk and may provide greater insight into hemodynamics of altered arterial stiffness versus impaired peripheral resistance but is not superior to SBP +DBP in predicting CVD events.

Effect of antihypertensive treatment at different blood pressure levels in patients with diabetes mellitus: systematic review and meta-analyses

TL;DR: Antihypertensive treatment reduces the risk of mortality and cardiovascular morbidity in people with diabetes mellitus and a systolic blood pressure more than 140 mm Hg, however, further treatment is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular death, with no observed benefit.

Quality improvement strategies for hypertension management: a systematic review.

TL;DR: Interventions that included team change as a QI strategy were associated with the largest reductions in blood pressure outcomes and a focus on hypertension by someone in addition to the patient's physician was associated with substantial improvement.

Evidence Supporting a Systolic Blood Pressure Goal of Less Than 150 mm Hg in Patients Aged 60 Years or Older: The Minority View

TL;DR: The 2014 Evidence-Based Guideline for the Management of High Blood Pressure In Adults recommends several major changes from the JNC 7 report, including the recommendation to increase the target systolic blood pressure (SBP) from 140 to 150 mm Hg in persons aged 60 years or older without diabetes mellitus or chronic kidney disease.
