Out-of-office rather than office blood pressure (OBP) generally determines target organ damage in young individuals, suggests a recent study. In addition, home and ambulatory BP show similar associations with preclinical organ damage.

Thiazide diuretics may be used in first-line treatment of hypertension in nursing home residents

09 May 2020

Long-term nursing home residents treated for hypertension are less likely to receive and more likely to discontinue treatment with a thiazide diuretic than any other first-line antihypertensive medication, a study reports. However, the drug does not carry an increased risk of incontinence or hospitalization and may thus be a reasonable first-line blood pressure (BP)-lowering treatment choice in this population.

Early upstream GPI use in acute myocardial infarction patients potentially harmful

Early upstream use of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors (GPIs) in patients with acute myocardial infarction should be avoided even in the presence of an intracoronary thrombotic occlusion, as suggested in a study.
