The updated and recently released 2007 European Society of Hypertension (ESH)/European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Guidelines for the Management of Arterial Hypertension (1), emphasize the assessment of total cardiovascular (CV) risk, along with proper measurement of blood pressure (BP) and novel recommendations to appropriately guide treatment strategies. The information from both is needed to improve patient management. Importantly, the BP threshold for initiating treatment and the treatment targets are lowered. In highrisk patients, the treatment target is v130/ 80 mmHg, and treatment strategies should include consideration of prescribing aspirin and a statin.read more

TL;DR: To analyze the effect of differing diet on the acid load content on bone metabolism, a large number of mice were fitted with a Mediterranean diet and a Western diet and the results indicated that the former improved bone metabolism and the latter decreased it.

Application of hypertension guidelines in clinical practice: implementation of the 2007 ESH/ESC European practice Guidelines in Spain.
TL;DR: There needs to be a continuous process involving education and audit that takes into account the full spectrum of barriers to acceptance and implementation of hypertension guidelines to ensure that their full potential in reducing the strain on healthcare delivery systems imposed by undiagnosed, untreated and uncontrolled hypertension can be realized.

TL;DR: This study aimed to address the independent effect of PLMS on BP in an unselected OSA patient cohort and found that it had no effect on blood pressure.
Toward the prediction of arterial hypertension in adulthood from adolescence
TL;DR: The age of the diagnosis of the prehypertension, the birth weight, the familiar obesity and the unfavorable familiar environment were the situations that had the strongest interaction among them in the timing from adolescence to adulthood and the prediction model is an instrumental contribution for predicting HBP in adulthood from adolescence.
