Background: In 2017, the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) lowered blood pressure (BP) thresholds to define hypertension in adults outside pregnancy. If used in pregnancy, these lower thresholds may identify women at increased risk of adverse outcomes, which would be particularly useful to risk-stratify nulliparous women. In this secondary analysis of the SCOPE cohort, we asked whether, among standard-risk nulliparous women, the ACC/AHA BP categories could identify women at increased risk for adverse outcomes.

Objective: Time in therapeutic range (TTR) is a new approach to monitoring blood pressure (BP), providing a more accurate picture over time compared to the standard single BP measurement during a clinic visit. Currently, no study from Saudi Arabia has explored the use of TTR in assessing BP control and its related factors. Thus, we aimed to investigate them in this study.

Background: Hypertension (HTN) is the most important modifiable risk factor for the development of cardiovascular events (CVEs). Patients with axSpA are also associated with an increased risk of future CVE.
Objectives: To ascertain whether baseline early-stage HTN is a predictor of future CVE in addition to inflammation in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA).

Purpose: This prospective cohort study investigated the longitudinal relationship between hypertension (HTN), defined by the 2017 ACC/AHA guidelines, and changes in choroidal thickness (CT) in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: Patients aged 30-80 years from the Guangzhou Diabetic Eye Study were categorized into non-HTN, stage 1-HTN, and stage 2-HTN groups based on BP criteria. Macular and parapapillary CT were measured using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT).

Background: Hypertension is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), with hypertension-related deaths increasing annually. While South Korea uses the Korean Society of Hypertension (KSH) guideline of 140/90 mmHg, the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and American Heart Association (AHA) updated their guidelines in 2017 to 130/80 mmHg. This study evaluates the cost-effectiveness of transitioning to the 2017 ACC/AHA guidelines by estimating early treatment impacts and potential CVD risk reduction.
