Descriptive Epidemiology of Blood Pressure Response to Change in Body Position: The ARIC Study

TL;DR: Cardiovascular morbidity, sociodemographic factors, and cigarette smoking were associated with the magnitude and direction of the postural change in DeltaSBP.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exercise as hypertension therapy.

TL;DR: The findings of most recent studies show that moderate-intensity aerobic exercise training can lower BP in patients with stage 1 and 2 essential hypertension, and the mechanisms mediating exercise-induced BP reduction are poorly understood.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maternally Inherited Essential Hypertension Is Associated With the Novel 4263A>G Mutation in the Mitochondrial tRNAIle Gene in a Large Han Chinese Family

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that mitochondrial dysfunction caused by mitochondrial tRNAIle 4263A>G mutation is involved in essential hypertension, and may provide new insights into pathophysiology of maternally transmitted hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exercise blood pressure and the risk of incident cardiovascular disease (from the Framingham Heart Study).

TL;DR: In middle-aged adults, diastolic BP during low-intensity exercise and recovery predicted incident CVD in multivariable models, supporting the concept that dynamic BP provides incremental information to BP at rest and suggesting that exercise diastsolic BP may be a better predictor than exercise systolic BP in this age group.
Journal ArticleDOI

Blood Pressure and Cholesterol Control in Hypertensive Hypercholesterolemic Patients National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys 1988–2010

TL;DR: Prescribing antihypertensive and antihyperlipidemic medications to achieve treatment goals, especially for older, minority, diabetic, and cardiovascular disease patients, and accessing healthcare at least biannually could improve concurrent risk factor control and CHD prevention.
