TL;DR: Recommendations for blood pressure measurement, criteria for hypertension diagnosis and follow-up, assessment of global cardiovascular risk, diagnostic testing, diagnosis of renovascular and endocrine causes of hypertension, home and ambulatory monitoring, and the use of echocardiography in hypertensive individuals are outlined.

Which hemostatic markers add to the predictive value of conventional risk factors for coronary heart disease and ischemic stroke? The Caerphilly Study
Ann Catherine Smith,Christopher Patterson,John Yarnell,Ann Rumley,Yoav Ben-Shlomo,Gordon D.O. Lowe +5 more
TL;DR: Fibrinogen, D-dimer, PAI-1 activity, and factor VIIc each has potential to increase the prediction of coronary disease/ischemic stroke in middle-aged men, in addition to conventional risk factors.

d'Arminio A,Caroline A. Sabin,AN Phillips,Peter Reiss,Rainer Weber,Ole Kirk,Wafaa El-Sadr,De Wit S,Silvia Mateu,Kathy Petoumenos,François Dabis,Christian Pradier,Linda Morfeldt,Jens D Lundgren,Nina Friis-Møller +14 more
TL;DR: CART increases the risk of CCVD, and this increase is comparable with how CART affects therisk of MI, consistent with the hypothesis that atherosclerosis is a side-effect of CART.

Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of C-Reactive Protein and Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Levels in the Prediction of First Cardiovascular Events
TL;DR: The data suggest that the C-reactive protein level is a stronger predictor of cardiovascular events than the LDL cholesterol level and that it adds prognostic information to that conveyed by the Framingham risk score.
