“The honking of horns and revving of engines doesn’t just affect those in the vehicles — it can also raise the #bloodpressure of people living near the road.” #trafficnoise #noisekills @CityofProv @PVDMayor @PVDCityCouncil @HealthyPVD @Brown_SPH @RIHealth cnn.com/2023/03/22/hea…
“Previous research had shown a connection between road #trafficnoise and an increased risk of #hypertension (#highbloodpressure), but it was still unclear whether it was the #noise or the pollution from the traffic that was the cause. Now, researchers say they have the evidence.”
“The results ... surprised researchers. People living near road #trafficnoise were not only more likely to develop #highbloodpressure, but the risk of this outcome increased with the ‘dose’ of #noise, even when researchers adjusted for fine particles and nitrogen dioxide.”

Why do people have persistent hypertension? Turns out there are many reasons; we developed a taxonomy to classify them so they can be addressed, based on #EHR data. @yuan_lu1 @CircOutcomes @SpatzErica @YaleMed @YaleCardiology #bloodpressure @AHAScience ahajournals.org/doi/abs/10.116…
@yuan_lu1 @CircOutcomes @SpatzErica @YaleMed @YaleCardiology @AHAScience Several years ago @yuan_lu1 and I introduced the concept of persistent hypertension to describe people with many measures of elevated #bloodpressure; a more encompassing term than resistant hypertension, which was about not responding to drugs. @amjmed sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
@yuan_lu1 @CircOutcomes @SpatzErica @YaleMed @YaleCardiology @AHAScience @amjmed We wrote that persistent hypertension was a condition of repetitive measures of above-goal elevated blood pressure over a period of time (eg, 6 mos), and drug resistance was just one of many causes. And many causes were related to missed opportunities in the care pathways.

This one found a high adipose tissue insulin resistance in normotensive individuals at baseline, as assessed by adipo-IR, to be associated (although weakly) with new-onset hypertension.
- In this study, the authors investigated the association between three insulin resistance indices (adipo-IR, HOMA-IR, and the Matsuda index) and hypertension in older Japanese individuals.
- In the cross-sectional analysis, all of these insulin resistance indices were statistically significantly associated with blood pressure levels.
This one finds that increased aldosterone levels may not necessarily lead to increased blood pressure.
- This is a translational inpatient trial deigned to elucidate the biological pathway leading from nutritional changes, through hormonal response, reversal of urine electrolytes ratio, to blood pressure reduction.
- Volunteers were admitted for 14 days, transitioning from a SAD to a DASH diet.

Reason 1.
Vital signs tell you lots about the patient’s general health.
The 2 minutes it takes to check someone’s blood pressure may impact directly on your clinical reasoning and subsequent management.

High blood pressure is generally asymptomatic, so you wouldn’t know if the person sitting in front of you might be hypertensive.

Vs. 7 h, sleep duration of ≤5 h & ≥9 h were associated with higher risk of CVD mortality & incidence (~+8-30%).

Resistant #hypertension is elevated BP despite the use of 3 antihypertensive drugs. We now introduce persistent hypertension, a broader concept of persistently elevated blood pressure. @amjmed amjmed.com/article/S0002-… @YaleMed @YaleCardiology #BloodPressure
@amjmed @YaleMed @YaleCardiology Resistant hypertension focuses attention on those already treated with maximum doses; persistent hypertension is broader, those with persistently elevated blood pressure, for a wide range of reasons - and this is the vast majority who languish at high risk. @yuan_lu1 @amjmed
@amjmed @YaleMed @YaleCardiology @yuan_lu1 To make progress against hypertension we need to focus intently on those with persistent hypertension; high bp readings over time, without progress. There are so many reasons; and many are social in nature. And this burden falls hard on Black patients in particular.
