Appropriateness of Web-Based Resources for Home Blood Pressure Measurement and Their Alignment With Guideline Recommendations, Readability, and End User Involvement: Environmental Scan of Web-Based Resources

Appropriateness of Web-Based Resources for Home Blood Pressure Measurement and Their Alignment With Guideline Recommendations, Readability, and End User Involvement: Environmental Scan of Web-Based Resources

High blood pressure (BP; hypertension: BP≥140/90 mm Hg) is the leading risk factor for death worldwide [1,2]. High BP can be controlled ( In the absence of effective in-clinic education and with the increased use of telehealth, web-based resources are commonly used by adults who seek health-related information for self-education [13]. In addition, recent work in Australia has shown that >35% of adults would prefer to access information about high BP on the web [14].

Insights Into How mHealth Applications Could Be Introduced Into Standard Hypertension Care in Germany: Qualitative Study With German Cardiologists and General Practitioners

Insights Into How mHealth Applications Could Be Introduced Into Standard Hypertension Care in Germany: Qualitative Study With German Cardiologists and General Practitioners

Advancing digitalization of health care has a transformative impact on the prevention and treatment of diseases, particularly in the realm of hypertension. In this context, mobile health (m Health) apps are increasingly gaining significance, offering innovative means for monitoring, maintaining, and preventing high blood pressure [1-3]. Hypertension poses a substantial health challenge, affecting millions of people worldwide [4].

Stress and Hypertension Among African American Female Family Caregivers of Persons Living With Alzheimer Disease and Related Dementias: Protocol for a Pilot Internet-Based Randomized Controlled Trial

Stress and Hypertension Among African American Female Family Caregivers of Persons Living With Alzheimer Disease and Related Dementias: Protocol for a Pilot Internet-Based Randomized Controlled Trial

No demographic group is more at risk for the double jeopardy of caregiving stress and hypertension than African American women caring for a family member who has ADRD. Hypertension is the leading cause of cardiovascular disease among African American women, affecting 56.7% of this group [8].

Factors Influencing Primary Care Physicians’ Intent to Refer Patients With Hypertension to a Digital Remote Blood Pressure Monitoring Program: Mixed Methods Study

Factors Influencing Primary Care Physicians’ Intent to Refer Patients With Hypertension to a Digital Remote Blood Pressure Monitoring Program: Mixed Methods Study

Hypertension is a leading independent and modifiable risk factor for several adverse cardiovascular outcomes including coronary artery disease, stroke, heart failure, and chronic kidney disease, as well as a wide variety of mental and metabolic conditions [1]. Long-term control of hypertension can be achieved through proven interventions including regular blood pressure (BP) monitoring [2]. Accurate BP measurements in the office can be a challenge, particularly if the patient has white coat syndrome [3].

Two-Year Hypertension Incidence Risk Prediction in Populations in the Desert Regions of Northwest China: Prospective Cohort Study

Two-Year Hypertension Incidence Risk Prediction in Populations in the Desert Regions of Northwest China: Prospective Cohort Study

Hypertension, a major preventable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, accounts for approximately 50% of all cardiovascular-related deaths globally [2]. In China, the prevalence of hypertension has been rising due to rapid urbanization, increasing affluence, and an aging population. Recent surveys estimate that approximately 244.5 million Chinese adults (23.2%) are affected by hypertension, with this number continuing to increase [3,4].

Benefits and Barriers to mHealth in Hypertension Care: Qualitative Study With German Health Care Professionals

Hypertension is a significant health problem affecting millions of people worldwide [1]. In Germany, too, hypertension is one of the most common diseases affecting a large proportion of the population. Prevention and effective treatment of hypertension are therefore crucial to prevent associated serious complications such as ischemic heart disease, strokes, and renal disease, and to improve the quality of life of those affected [2-4].

Health Equity of Hypertension Management Between Local Residents and Internal Migrants in Shenzhen, China: Cross-Sectional Study

Health Equity of Hypertension Management Between Local Residents and Internal Migrants in Shenzhen, China: Cross-Sectional Study

The World Health Organization’s latest report highlights a surge in hypertension prevalence, with figures doubling from 650 million individuals in 1990 to an alarming 1.3 billion in 2019 [2]. In China, about 270 million people have hypertension, while research showed that, among the 256 million individuals aged 30-79 years with hypertension, only 52% were aware of their condition, 39% were receiving treatment, and a scant 16% had their blood pressure under control [2,3].

Trends and Gaps in Digital Precision Hypertension Management: Scoping Review

Hypertension (HTN) is the leading preventable cause of cardiovascular disease and premature mortality worldwide, affecting an estimated 1.28 billion adults [1]. It surpasses smoking, diabetes, and obesity as the most significant modifiable risk factor, contributing to 54% of stroke and 47% of ischemic heart disease cases [2,3]. Despite mounting evidence that antihypertensive treatment can reduce morbidity and mortality, HTN remains underdiagnosed and undertreated [4,5].

Impact of the National Essential Public Health Service Package on Blood Pressure Control in Chinese People With Hypertension: Retrospective Population-Based Longitudinal Study

Impact of the National Essential Public Health Service Package on Blood Pressure Control in Chinese People With Hypertension: Retrospective Population-Based Longitudinal Study

Hypertension, the major modifiable risk factor for CVDs, is prevalent in China [4-12]. According to the data of a recent survey conducted nationwide, the prevalence of hypertension was 54.7% among Chinese adults over 18 years old, and reportedly, merely 60.1% of Chinese adults with hypertension accepted antihypertensive treatments [13]. The low hypertension treatment rate has led to a suboptimal control of blood pressure among Chinese adults with hypertension [13].

Causal Inference for Hypertension Prediction With Wearable Electrocardiogram and Photoplethysmogram Signals: Feasibility Study

Causal Inference for Hypertension Prediction With Wearable Electrocardiogram and Photoplethysmogram Signals: Feasibility Study

Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure (BP), is a condition in which the pressure of the blood increases in the arteries. The diagnosis of hypertension relies on BP measurement, and it is defined as systolic BP (SBP) ≥140 mm Hg or diastolic BP (DBP) ≥90 mm Hg [1]. Hypertension can be further classified into 3 stages. Stage 1 hypertension is associated with SBP and DBP ranges of 140‐159 mm Hg and 90‐99 mm Hg, respectively.
