AHA Statement on Managing Pregnant Women With CVD
The American Heart Association outlined several considerations for the management of pregnant women with CVD or CVD-related conditions.
Hypertension
USPSTF Advises Hypertension Screening for All Adults
The USPSF recommends screening all adults for hypertension with office-based blood pressure measurement.
CDC: Deaths From Exposure to Heat-Related Conditions Identified
A total of 10,527 deaths resulting from exposure to heat-related conditions were identified during 2004 to 2018.
Blood Pressure Treatment Even Effective in Frail Older Adults
Even in very frail people, antihypertensive treatment reduces the risk for death.
Teen Obesity, T2DM, Hypertension May Lead to Early Vascular Aging
The presence of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and elevated systolic blood pressure (SBP) in adolescence accelerates the progression of risk factors that play a role in the development of early vascular aging.
Hypertension, Obesity, Diabetes Common in US COVID-19 Patients
The most common comorbidities among patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in the New York City area are hypertension, obesity, and diabetes.
ACEI/ARB Treatment May Benefit Patients With COVID-19 and Hypertension
Treatment of patients with hypertension who are infected with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockers may improve clinical outcomes.
Joint Statement Issued Addressing Concerns Over COVID-19 and ACE Inhibitor, ARB Use
Patients with cardiovascular disease diagnosed with novel coronavirus (COVID-19) are urged to continue taking their angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) and angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) medications as prescribed.
IDH Prevalence Defined According to 2017 Guideline Increases, Does Not Predict CV Outcomes
Isolated diastolic hypertension, as defined in the 2017 ACC/AHA guideline was found to be more prevalent compared with IDH defined according to a 2003 recommendation.
Systolic BP Variability in Young Adults May ID Later CVD Risk
Variability independent of the mean in SBP in young adults linked to CVD events, all-cause mortality.
