Hypertension and low bone density - is there a link?
This study investigated if hypertension is associated with changes in bone mineral density.
They found that hypertension is associated with reduced bone mineral density in different bones and the reduction is inconsistent between populations.

Does cardiorespiratory fitness improve survival in patients with resistant hypertension?
This study investigated the effects of cardiorespiratory fitness on survival in high-risk patients with resistant hypertension.
They found that patients with greater cardiorespiratory fitness had a greater survival rate compared to those with lower fitness levels.

The effects of different varieties of nuts on blood pressure
This study looked at the effect of nut consumption on blood pressure levels in patients with hypertension. The authors concluded that total nut consumption can lower systolic blood pressure (pressure when the heart is contracting) in hypertensive patients who do not have type 2 diabetes. Pistachios, in particular, showed the greatest effect.

Reviewing the effectiveness of first-line anti-hypertensive drugs
This study investigated the safety and effectiveness of anti-hypertensive (AHT) drugs used as a first-line treatment (FLT).
They found that thiazide (or thiazide-like) diuretics (TD/TLDs) had better safety and effectiveness than other classes used as FLT.
