• Measurement of Blood Pressure in Humans (2019, background): “When considered separately, higher SBP and higher DBP are associated with increased CVD risk.(6,7) SBP is associated with CVD events independently of DBP.”
• Stroke Risk Factors, Genetics, and Prevention (2017, background): “stroke, with a strong, direct, linear, and continuous relationship between blood pressure and stroke risk.(65,66) In INTERSTROKE, hypertension was by far the most important stroke risk factor:”
• 2020 International Society of Hypertension Global Hypertension Practice Guidelines. (2020, background): “This is despite the fact that a difference in BP of 20/10 mm Hg is associated with a 50% difference in cardiovascular risk.(68) The pharmacological treatment strategies recommended here (Figures 2–4) are largely compatible with those made in the most recent US(2) and European guidelines.”
• Epidemiology of Atherosclerosis and the Potential to Reduce the Global Burden of Atherothrombotic Disease. (2016, background): “After close attention to statistical detail (including both correction for regression dilution bias and adjustment for age at risk), a continuous log-linear association between both usual SBP and diastolic blood pressure and both IHD and stroke was observed.(63) The Prospective Studies Collaboration”
• Guidelines for the Primary Prevention of Stroke (2011, unknown): “Throughout the usual range of BPs, including the nonhypertensive range, the higher the BP is, the greater the risk of stroke.(222) The prevalence of hypertension has plateaued over the past decade.”
• Recommendations for blood pressure measurement in humans and experimental animals: Part 1: blood pressure measurement in humans: a statement for professionals from the Subcommittee of Professional and Public Education of the American Heart Association Council on High Blood Pressure Research. (2005, methodology): “For accurate blood pressure measurement, the observer must: (1) be properly trained in the techniques of blood pressure measurement; (2) use an accurate and properly maintained device; (3) recognize subject factors, such as anxiety and recent nicotine use, that would adversely affect blood pressure ”
• Potential U.S. Population Impact of the 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association High Blood Pressure Guideline (2017, unknown): “Large observational studies demonstrate a graded association between higher BP and increased risk for CVD, end-stage renal disease, subclinical atherosclerosis, and all-cause mortality (7,8).”
• Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes—2012 (2011, background): “115/75 mmHg is associated with increased cardiovascular event rates and mortality in individuals with diabetes (219,222,223).”
• Reducing the Global Burden of Cardiovascular Disease, Part 1: The Epidemiology and Risk Factors. (2017, background): “CVD with even modest increases in BP even within normal ranges (eg, systolic BPs between 120 and 140 mm Hg).(44)”
