Smith Center investigator, Jordan Strom, MD, MSc, FACC, FASE, gets a shout out in American Society of Echocardiography Echo magazine after a successful panel at the ASE IRT Think Tank. Read here: 780c073a1.flowpaper.com/EchoMagazineMa…

Very much enjoyed reuniting with you today Jennifer Cluett, MD & great fun exploring #Berlin with you 🙏

I feel like this figure doesn't fully capture the uncertainty around the no/yes target-organ injury and the fact that markedly elevated BP could cause that status to change...is waiting to see really safer than treatment?

New(ish) statement from American Heart Association on orthostatic hypotension by Stephen Juraschek MD, PhD, FAHA, AHSCP-CHS and colleagues:

🔑 patients with HTN and OH still need HTN treatment

🔑first-line BP meds = lowest risk for worsening OH

More pearls in here than an oyster farm!

I like how the figure below focuses on (1) high quality BP measurement and (2) outpatient follow-up

The Management of Elevated Blood Pressure in the Acute Care Setting ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/HY…

In the present study, Stephen Juraschek MD, PhD, FAHA, AHSCP-CHS and colleagues decided to do the same, using the Omron HEM907XL as the clinic device (since we don’t use mercury anymore)

Welcome back to #AJHTweetorials

It’s still #MayMeasurementMonth so we will talk measurement in this edition

This is a neat analysis - implying that treatment target may differ depending on the health benefit of interest.

#783 Individualized net benefit of intensive blood pressure lowering among older adults in SPRINT academic.oup.com/ndt/article/39…

67M with PMHx HTN, metabolic syndrome, gout, asthma.

BP uncontrolled 154/75 mmHg (mean home and ABPM consistent; consistent med refills).

Twynsta 80-10 mg daily, doxazosin 4 mg daily (higher doses ineffective).

Baseline HR 55-60 bpm. BMI 30.7. eGFR 80.

Severe hyponatremia

So cool!

Honored to contribute to the development of this infographic which stresses the importance of accurate blood pressure measurement with Eugene Yang and Dr. Joseph Ebinger.

Nice review by colleagues in the Netherlands Jurgen Claassen suggesting orthostatic hypotension may be over emphasized in hypertension medication decision making.

Really informative article on home blood pressure monitoring among older adults.

This is interesting. I wonder if symptoms improved and waht hypertensive events looked like on deescalaed therapy.
