Journal ArticleDOI

Antihypertensive pharmacogenetics: getting the right drug into the right patient.

TL;DR: Knowledge of polymorphic variation in these genes will help to predict individual patients' blood pressure responses to antihypertensive drug therapy and may also provide new insights into molecular mechanisms responsible for elevation of blood pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI

The paradigm has shifted to systolic blood pressure.

TL;DR: Three trials of older individuals with isolated systolic hypertension, unambiguously demonstrated that effective antihypertensive therapy lowered the rate of strokes, heart failure, CHD, and even all-cause mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-dipping pattern of hypertension and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome

TL;DR: The evidence linking OSA to non-dipping pattern of hypertension, and potential mechanisms underlying this link are examined.

Determinants and Consequences of Adherence to the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension Diet in African-American and White Adults with High Blood Pressure: Results from the ENCORE Trial

TL;DR: In this article, the ENCORE (Exercise and nutrition interventions for Cardiovascular health) trial was conducted to determine what factors predict dietary adherence and the extent to which dietary adherence is necessary to produce clinically meaningful BP reductions.
