While home blood pressure (BP) measurement is recommended for hypertension management, the clinical implications of peak home BP values have not been well studied. This study investigated the association between pathological threshold or frequency of peak home BP and cardiovascular events in patients with ≥1 cardiovascular risk factor. The Japan Morning Surge-Home Blood Pressure (J-HOP) study enrolled participants from 2005-2012 with extended follow-up from December 2017 to May 2018, which generated the dataset for this analysis. Average peak home systolic BP (SBP) was defined as average of the highest three BP values on 14-day measurement period. Patients were divided into quintiles of peak home BP, and the risk of stroke, coronary artery disease (CAD) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD; stroke+CAD) was determined. In 4231 patients (mean 65 years) followed for 6.2 years there were 94 strokes and 124 CAD events. The adjusted hazard ratio (HR) (95% CI) for the risk of stroke and ASCVD in patients with average peak home SBP in the highest versus lowest quintile was 4.39 (1.85-10.43) and 2.04 (1.24-3.36), respectively. Risk was greatest for stroke in the first 5 years: HR 22.66 (2.98-172.1). The pathological threshold of average peak home SBP for 5-year stroke risk was 176 mmHg. There was a linear association between the number of times peak home SBP > 175 mmHg and stroke risk. Peak home BP was a strong risk factor for stroke, especially within the first 5 years. We propose exaggerated peak home SBP > 175 mmHg as an early and strong novel risk factor for stroke.

Introduction: Excision and primary anastomosis (EPA) urethroplasty is the standard treatment for traumatic urethral strictures, but managing them remains challenging for urologists. Identifying factors leading to EPA urethroplasty failure benefits both patients and surgeons. This study aims to analyze risk factors for urethral stricture recurrence after one-year follow-up of EPA urethroplasty.

Background: Earlier identification of high coronary artery disease (CAD) risk individuals may enable more effective prevention strategies. However, existing 10-year risk frameworks are ineffective at earlier identification. We sought to understand how the variable importance of genomic and clinical factors across life stages may significantly improve lifelong CAD event prediction.

Background: Females with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy present at a more advanced stage of the disease and have a higher risk of heart failure and death. The factors behind these differences are unclear. We aimed to investigate sex-related differences in clinical and genetic factors affecting adverse outcomes in the Sarcomeric Human Cardiomyopathy Registry.
