Deaths from ischemic heart diseases and cerebrovascular diseases have decreased among patients with nondialysis-dependent CKD.
Intensive Blood Pressure Control May Delay Progression in Advanced CKD
Patients with advanced CKD have not been well-represented in trials evaluating intensive blood pressure control.
Nighttime Hot Spring Bathing May Decrease Hypertension Risk in Older Adults
Inverse relationship seen between habitual nighttime hot spring bathing and history of hypertension
Orthostatic Hypotension Tied With Kidney Function Decline

Causal Relationships Between Gout and Hypertension Evaluated
Investigators explored the causality between the liability of gout on hypertension and the liability of hypertension on gout.
Strength of Risk Factors for Stroke Vary by Age
Association of hypertension, heart disease, and diabetes with stroke appears to be substantially reduced at older ages
