In a secondary analysis of the ENCORE trial, researchers sought to examine the effects of the DASH diet alone and in combination with exercise on the need for antihypertensive medication in overweight and...
Hypertension guidelines recommend limits for systolic and diastolic blood pressure. But regardless of whether systolic BP is controlled, diastolic BP can still affect cardiovascular outcomes.
In a recent study, researchers examined the effectiveness of a low-dose triple combination antihypertensive medication for the reduction of blood pressure versus usual care in patients with hypertension.

A recent study gauged the effects of various types of antihypertensive medications on visit-to-visit office blood pressure variability and mortality risk.
For their study, the researchers investigated whether initial treatment with low-dose triple combination therapy would safely achieve blood pressure control compared with usual care.
The authors of a recent study sought to examine the continued validity of lifelong trajectories in peak systolic and diastolic blood pressure responses during maximal cardiopulmonary exercise in men and...
Currently, it is unclear whether blood pressure stabilizes or decreases in later life. In a new study, researchers investigated whether blood pressure trajectories were reflective of increasing age or time...
High blood pressure is the most significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease and mortality worldwide. In a recent study, researchers aimed to determine the ideal cutoff for the treatment of high blood...
The US Food and Drug Administration has approved a new option to treat dangerously low blood pressure in adult patients with septic or other distributive shock.
Extracranial and intracranial cerebral atherosclerosis are both important risk factors for stroke. However, little is currently known about their association with interarm systolic and diastolic blood...
