Self-measured versus ambulatory blood pressure in the diagnosis of hypertension.

TL;DR: The findings are in line with the recommendations of the ASH Ad Hoc Panel that recommends HBP for screening while ABP has a better prognostic accuracy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Race, Rural Residence, and Control of Diabetes and Hypertension

TL;DR: Rural and urban whites were significantly more likely to have better glycemic control and diastolic blood pressure control than rural African Americans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prognosis of Isolated Systolic and Isolated Diastolic Hypertension as Assessed by Self-Measurement of Blood Pressure at Home: The Ohasama Study

TL;DR: This study is the first to demonstrate the clinical significance of pulse pressure as assessed by home BP measurement, suggesting that the prognosis of hypertension would be improved by treatment focused on systolic rather than on diastolic home BP measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thirty-year Trends in Cardiovascular Risk Factor Levels among US Adults with Diabetes National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys, 1971–2000

TL;DR: Among US adults with diabetes, using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey for 1971-1974, 1976-1980, 1988-1994, and 1999-2000, the authors describe 30-year trends in total cholesterol, blood pressure, and smoking levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of Predictive Models for Long-Term Cardiovascular Risk Associated With Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure

TL;DR: Two large clinical trial cohorts were used to develop gender-specific predictive models that quantify the risk associated with both systolic and diastolic blood pressure and that can be used to infer the benefits of antihypertensive therapy in populations and may be useful for risk estimation associated with hypertension in similar populations.
