Can differences in interarm blood pressure predict cardiovascular disease?
The aim of this study was to determine whether hypertensive patients with significant interarm blood pressure difference were at a higher risk of cardiovascular problems. The authors concluded that significant differences in interarm systolic blood pressure (pressure when the heart is contracting) may be a method of predicting cardiovascular risk in hypertensive patients.

Is there a benefit of milk protein supplements in early-stage hypertension?
This study looked at the effect of the milk proteins, whey and calcium, on blood pressure and cardiovascular risk factors (affecting the heart and blood vessels) in patients with hypertension. The authors concluded that taking milk protein supplements reduced blood pressure and risk of cardiovascular disease in pre-hypertensive and mildly hypertensive patients.

Including lean pork in a diet for high blood pressure
This study looked at the effect of introducing pork into the diet of patients with pre-hypertension (elevated blood pressure). The authors concluded that including pork as the main source of dietary protein instead of fish or chicken had no negative effect on blood pressure levels.

Searching patients with hypertension to test a combination treatment
This phase 2 trial will investigate the effect of low-dose quadruple-combination therapy (LDQT) in patients with hypertension.
The main outcome will be the change in systolic blood pressure (SBP; blood pressure when the heart contracts). This study is recruiting in Illinois, US.
