Stephen Juraschek MD, PhD, FAHA, AHSCP-CHS would have ♥️ to attend this great initiative AJH Hypertension Summer School but cant 🥺so please 🐦🐦🐦 Stephen Juraschek MD, PhD, FAHA, AHSCP-CHS Brandi Wynne, MS PhD FAHA & everyone

Neat study showing the value of single pill drug combinations for HTN. We PCPs should feel comfortable with these pills!!!

Really excited to attend and participate in this amazing tour de force on Hypertension!

Congratulations Ernesto Schiffrin on this highly deserved award!

Congratulations Pankaj Garg Steffen Petersen Zahra Raisi-Estabragh & all authors 👏👏

Very timely as I only was discussing 'healthy ageing' with friends Wanpen Vongpatanasin Stephen Juraschek MD, PhD, FAHA, AHSCP-CHS this week

Cool meta-analysis on long-term benefits of sodium substitution! Huge need for more trials in a more diverse range of cultural settings like the US. acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M2…

Thanks Mingyu Zhang, PhD, MHS for sharing the article with me!

Swapnil Hiremath @[email protected] Stephen Juraschek MD, PhD, FAHA, AHSCP-CHS Yes I wrote that section, but none of the other guidelines do and that’s an issue

Dietary approaches overall - some summarised in the recent paper in table 1, most guidelines recommend levels of sodium but even fruit/vegetables/grains the key advice is just to increase

A/Prof Francine Marques Stephen Juraschek MD, PhD, FAHA, AHSCP-CHS The ISH statement did include fibre - so hopefully all other societies will follow through as well pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37712135/

Fiber is not listed among the 6 lifestyle recommendations in the ACC/AHA guidelines for BP management, but perhaps it should be!

Interesting results from KARDIA2 that show relatively modest reduction in 24ABP when added on top of olmesartan relative to indapamide or amlodipine. This seems to be similar to less effective BP lowering of duo ACEI-ARB or DRI-ARB.

Interesting article on supine hypertension.

To the many folks heading to Atlanta for #ACC24 my preview is up theheartorg | Medscape

There may be practice-changing (even 'game-changing') trials presented at this meeting. For real. Take a read>

Legacy benefits of BP control – 21 year follow-up of ASCOT trial

Systolic BP variability is a strong predictor of cardiovascular outcome, even in those with controlled SBP

The long-term benefits of amlodipine-based treatments

Interesting long-term follow-up data from ASCOT.

Legacy benefits of blood pressure treatment on cardiovascular events are primarily mediated by improved blood pressure variability: the ASCOT trial academic.oup.com/eurheartj/arti…

Tweeting does not boost citations in this trial.

Neat trial showing the benefit of reduced sitting time among older adults!

Always nice to see the full formatted version of a manuscript--now live via Gerontological Society of America (GSA) at academic.oup.com/biomedgerontol…

Indivs. w/ head injury had greater declines in physical function over time and incident frailty compared to those without. Need for secondary prevention! #TBI

Thanks to co-authors Andrea Schneider (mentor), priyapalta Stephen Juraschek MD, PhD, FAHA, AHSCP-CHS Caitlin Hicks MD, MS SCAN Lab (Rebecca Gottesman) and twitterless others!
