High-sensitivity C-reactive protein, inflammation, and cardiovascular risk: from concept to clinical practice to clinical benefit.

TL;DR: In this paper, a large-scale Justification for the Use of Statins in Primary prevention: an Intervention Trial Evaluating Rosvastatin (JUPITER) trial represents a critical study to determine the utility of a strategy for targeting statin therapy to prevent incident cardiovascular disease in patients at increased cardiovascular risk on the basis of elevated hs-CRP who would not be considered candidates for therapy on basis of hypercholesterolemia or traditional risk assessment.

Prevalence of primary aldosteronism in patient's cohorts and in population-based studies--a review of the current literature.

TL;DR: The prevalence of PA increases with the severity of hypertension and the inclusion of current study results did not alter the mean prevalences of elevated ARRs and PA in primary care and referred patients.

Regression of Left Ventricular Mass by Antihypertensive Treatment A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Comparative Studies

TL;DR: The inferiority of &bgr;-blockers appears to be more convincing than the superiority of angiotensin receptor blockers in left ventricular mass regression in patients with hypertension, and the other drug classes may induce larger regression.

Effects of intensive blood pressure reduction on myocardial infarction and stroke in diabetes: a meta-analysis in 73,913 patients.

TL;DR: In patients with diabetes, protection from stroke increases with the magnitude of BP reduction, and it was unable to detect such a relation for MI.
