A Clinical Study on the Efficacy of Acupuncture Treatment in Essential Hypertension: Protocol for Randomized Controlled Trial

A Clinical Study on the Efficacy of Acupuncture Treatment in Essential Hypertension: Protocol for Randomized Controlled Trial

Hypertension is one of the major risk factors for fatal complications of cardiovascular disease [1-4] and represents a significant public health concern worldwide. Annually, hypertension is responsible for approximately 10.4 million deaths [5]. Therefore, the primary goals of hypertension management are to regulate blood pressure and prevent damage to target organs [6-8].

The Prevalence of Hypertension Among Children and Antihypertensive Use: Protocol for a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

The Prevalence of Hypertension Among Children and Antihypertensive Use: Protocol for a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Hypertension (HT) occurs when the blood pressure (BP) is elevated above the normal range. It is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD), chronic kidney disease, and a major cause of death [1]. Studies have suggested HT in childhood to be associated with essential HT in adulthood [2,3]. However, childhood HT is less commonly studied and reported than adult HT [4] and receives less attention in public health [5].

Prerequisites for Cost-Effective Home Blood Pressure Telemonitoring: Early Health Economic Analysis

Prerequisites for Cost-Effective Home Blood Pressure Telemonitoring: Early Health Economic Analysis

Hypertension remains one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) [1]. Despite lifestyle and drug therapy interventions, a significant proportion of patients with hypertension remains inadequately controlled, which is mostly the result of poor medication adherence [2]. Home blood pressure telemonitoring (HBPT) has been proposed to improve adherence [2,3] by allowing patients to measure their blood pressure at home while being remotely monitored by their health care providers.

Implementation of the Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes Model for Hypertension Education of Frontline Health Care Workers in the Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria: Explanatory Sequential Mixed Methods Evaluation

Implementation of the Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes Model for Hypertension Education of Frontline Health Care Workers in the Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria: Explanatory Sequential Mixed Methods Evaluation

In Nigeria, where hypertension prevalence ranges from 29%-38%, health care workers face challenges in effectively managing this condition due to limited awareness, outdated practices, and inadequate training [1,2]. Building health care worker capacity in hypertension treatment is crucial for better care, enhanced patient outcomes, and reduced cardiovascular disease burden [3,4].

Telemedicine Booths for Screening Cardiovascular Risk Factors: Prospective Multicenter Study

Telemedicine Booths for Screening Cardiovascular Risk Factors: Prospective Multicenter Study

The most significant of these is hypertension because it accounts for the largest number of CVD deaths [5,6]. In France, this affects around 22% of the population, but over a third are unaware that they have the condition because there are usually no symptoms [4,7]. As a result, many people do not benefit from interventions, such as antihypertensive medication, that can effectively lower their blood pressure, thus reducing the risk of CVD [8].

Moreover, such interventions are reported to be relatively more effective among patients with more severe hypertension at baseline [6]. Based on a systematic review synthesizing evidence on the cost-effectiveness of telemedicine in the management of cardiovascular diseases (inclusive of hypertension), telemedicine was reported to be cost-effective when used concurrently with the usual care [7].

Implementation of an Integrated, Clinical Decision Support Tool at the Point of Antihypertensive Medication Refill Request to Improve Hypertension Management: Controlled Pre-Post Study

Implementation of an Integrated, Clinical Decision Support Tool at the Point of Antihypertensive Medication Refill Request to Improve Hypertension Management: Controlled Pre-Post Study

Hypertension, the most common chronic condition treated in primary care [7], has shown that EHR-integrated applications, as described by Funes et al [8], can improve clinician workflows in chronic disease management. In addition, the American Heart Association and the American Medical Association have called upon primary care teams to better leverage protocols and team-based care to improve hypertension control [9].

Maternal Metabolic Health and Mother and Baby Health Outcomes (MAMBO): Protocol of a Prospective Observational Study

Maternal Metabolic Health and Mother and Baby Health Outcomes (MAMBO): Protocol of a Prospective Observational Study

The offspring of mothers with pre-existing metabolic diseases—obesity, diabetes, and hypertension—have an increased risk of significant congenital anomalies and premature birth compared with the offspring of mothers without metabolic disease [1]. These offspring are also twice as likely to develop obesity, diabetes, and hypertension in childhood [2].

Effect of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure or Positional Therapy Compared to Control for Treatment of  Obstructive Sleep Apnea on the Development of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in Pregnancy: Protocol for Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

Effect of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure or Positional Therapy Compared to Control for Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea on the Development of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in Pregnancy: Protocol for Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

The authors report risk reduction of gestational hypertension and preeclampsia in the CPAP groups (relative risk [RR] 0.65, 95% CI 0.47-0.89; P=.008) and preeclampsia (RR 0.70, 95% CI 0.50-0.98; P=.04), which were not correlated with age or BMI. The authors concluded that while the results suggest CPAP therapy as a potential mediator to adverse gestational hypertensive outcomes in pregnant women with OSA, the association remains inconclusive [40].

Appropriateness of Web-Based Resources for Home Blood Pressure Measurement and Their Alignment With Guideline Recommendations, Readability, and End User Involvement: Environmental Scan of Web-Based Resources

High blood pressure (BP; hypertension: BP≥140/90 mm Hg) is the leading risk factor for death worldwide [1,2]. High BP can be controlled ( In the absence of effective in-clinic education and with the increased use of telehealth, web-based resources are commonly used by adults who seek health-related information for self-education [13]. In addition, recent work in Australia has shown that >35% of adults would prefer to access information about high BP on the web [14].
