The effect of clinic-based intensive hypertension treatment on ambulatory blood pressure
(BP) is unknown. The goal of the SPRINT (Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial) …

Background—Increased left ventricular (LV) mass predicts an adverse outcome in patients
with essential hypertension. The purpose of this study was to determine the relation between …

Objective Cardiovascular reactivity is hypothesized to mediate the relationship between
stress and cardiovascular disease. We describe three considerations that are crucial for a …

The prognostic value of sleep blood pressure reported by recent studies is variable. Our aim
was to examine the relationship of sleep blood pressure, measured by 24-hour ambulatory …

OBJECTIVES.: We examined the prognostic significance of concentric remodeling of the left
ventricle in patients with essential hypertension and normal left ventricular mass on …

Incidence, determinants, and outcome of atrial fibrillation in hypertensive subjects are
incompletely known. We followed for up to 16 years 2482 initially untreated subjects with …

Objective To investigate the multivariate-adjusted predictive value of systolic and diastolic
blood pressures on conventional (CBP) and daytime (10–20 h) ambulatory (ABP) …

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent sleep disorder as is hypertension (HTN) in the
21st century with the rising incidence of obesity. Numerous studies have shown a strong …

The association of ambulatory blood pressure (BP) variability with mortality and
cardiovascular events is controversial. To investigate whether BP variability predicts …

Oxidative stress was reported to be involved not only in cardiovascular diseases, but also in
hypertension. Epidemiologic studies indicated that tea consumption slightly reduces blood …
