This study investigated whether there is an increased risk of death in patients with uncontrolled hypertension. They found that patients with uncontrolled hypertension have an increased risk of mortality overall. Patients with controlled hypertension has a risk similar to those without hypertension.

This study investigated the long-term effects of blood pressure-lowering treatment (BP-LT) and lipid-lowering treatment (L-LT) in the management of hypertension. They found that BP-LT and L-LT improved survival rates in patients with hypertension.

This study investigated if oral health was linked to blood pressure (BP) management. The authors found that good oral health was associated with better BP control. 

This study aimed to see if the DASH diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) could reduce the risk of stroke. The main finding of the study was that adherence to the DASH decreased the risk of stroke.

This study aimed to compare unrelated donor umbilical cord blood transplant and unrelated hematopoietic stem cell transplant in adult and pediatric patients with acute myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

This study concluded that unrelated donor umbilical cord blood transplants could be used more often as a treatment option for patients with acute myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia. 

This study investigated the effectiveness of a combined nutraceutical (BPLN^®) for the management of hypertension. They found that this supplement reduced blood pressure in patients with hypertension. 

This study investigated if left atrial appendage exclusion (LAAE) reduced blood pressure (BP) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). They found that this procedure reduced BP in patients with AF.

This study investigated if strict blood pressure (BP) management improves cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. 

They found that strict BP control reduced the risk of atherosclerotic CVD.

This study investigated if intermittent attempts to healthy eating improved cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. They found that healthy eating reduced CVD risk factors.

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a condition in which blood pressure at rest is higher than the body's needs. It is defined as a systolic blood pressure above 140, and a diastolic blood pressure above 90. If only one of these values is elevated, it is referred to as isolated systolic or isolated diastolic hypertension. If blood pressure is slightly elevated, but not to a degree that meets the criteria, it is referred to as pre-hypertension. This condition is still harmful and still requires treatment.
