Background: Blood pressure (BP) time in target range (TTR) reflects the proportion of time that BP measurement is within a specified target range. We aim to summarize the evidence for relationships between TTR and adverse health outcomes.
Methods: Seven databases were searched. After quality assessment and data extraction, meta-analyses were performed to generate pooled estimates of the association (hazard ratios) between TTR and health outcomes. Primary outcomes were all-cause mortality and cardiovascular death. Secondary outcomes included major adverse cardiovascular events, myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and adverse kidney events.
Results: In all, 21 studies were included, mostly rated at low risk of bias. TTR was defined by systolic BP (SBP) in 15 studies and by both SBP and diastolic BP in 6 studies. Per SD increase of TTR was associated with significantly decreased risks of all-cause mortality (110-130 mm Hg SBP TTR: hazard ratios, 0.85 [95% CI, 0.82-0.89]; 120-140 mm Hg SBP TTR: 0.81 [95% CI, 0.70-0.94]; and 70-80 mm Hg diastolic BP TTR: 0.88 [95% CI, 0.83-0.93]), cardiovascular death (110-130 mm Hg SBP TTR: 0.83 [95% CI, 0.78-0.87]; 120-140 mm Hg SBP TTR: 0.76 [95% CI, 0.65-0.89]; and 70-80 mm Hg diastolic BP TTR: 0.85 [95% CI, 0.80-0.90]), major adverse cardiovascular events (120-140 mm Hg SBP TTR: 0.76 [95% CI, 0.70-0.83]), and heart failure (110-130 mm Hg SBP TTR: 0.84 [95% CI, 0.76-0.93] and 120-140 mm Hg SBP TTR: 0.78 [95% CI, 0.68-0.89]). However, there was not sufficient support for the association of TTR with myocardial infarction, stroke, atrial fibrillation, or adverse kidney events.
Conclusions: Higher TTR was associated with reduced risks of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular death, major adverse cardiovascular events, and heart failure, highlighting the importance of sustained BP control in clinical practice.

Ciprofol, a novel γ-aminobutyric acid receptor agonist, outperforms propofol with minimal cardiovascular effects, higher potency, reduced injection pain, and a broader safety margin. Despite these advantages, ciprofol's clinical research is still emerging. This study compares the median effective dose (ED) and adverse reactions of ciprofol and propofol, in conjunction with sufentanil, for suppressing cardiovascular responses during tracheal intubation.

Objective: In patients with primary hypertension (PH), left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a critical predictor of cardiovascular events. We aimed to identify clinical and laboratory predictors of LVH in patients with PH.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 2321 patients with PH at the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from December 2022 to January 2024.

Background: Non-invasive, continuous blood pressure monitoring technologies require additional validation beyond standard cuff-based methods. This study evaluates a non-invasive, multiparametric wearable cuffless blood pressure (BP) diagnostic monitor across all hypertension classes with diverse subjects.
Methods: A prospective, multicenter study assessed Nanowear's SimpleSense-BP performance, including induced and natural BP changes, significant BP variations (Systolic BP (SBP) ≥ ± 15 mm Hg and Diastolic BP (DBP) ≥ ± 10 mm Hg), and reference input value validity over 4 weeks.

Rationale: Established coronary artery disease (CAD) patients are at increased risk for recurrence of cardiovascular events and mortality due to non-attainment of recommended risk factor control targets.
Objective: We aimed to evaluate the attainment of treatment targets for risk factor control among CAD patients as recommended in the Indonesian CVD prevention guidelines.
Methods: Patients were consecutively recruited from the Makassar Cardiac Center at Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital, Indonesia.

Background: Road traffic injuries (RTIs) are currently the ninth most common cause of mortality and are expected to increase in the future. RTIs rank in the top three reasons why young people die. Because of the high incidence and mortality risk, proper trauma care has been prioritized for RTI patients who present to the emergency department.
