Projected prevalence of hypertension and untreated/uncontrolled hypertension in Japan through 2040
Accurate projections of future hypertension prevalence are essential for planning effective public health strategies to prevent cardiovascular mortality. This study aimed to project the future prevalence of hypertension in Japan through ...

Longitudinal association between body weight change and brachial–ankle pulse wave velocity in patients with treated hypertension or diabetes mellitus: A post hoc analysis of the FMD-J study B
We investigated cross-sectional associations between body mass index (BMI) and brachial–ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and longitudinal associations between body weight change and baPWV over 3 years in 874 patients with treated hypert...

LipReg4 deletion blocks hypertension induced by gut S. aureofaciens Tü117
Streptomyces aureofaciens (S. aureofaciens) Tü117 and its metabolite α-lipomycin have been implicated in high-salt-induced hypertension. Previous studies showed that high-salt intake increases gut Tü117 abundance and circulating α-lipomy...

Carotid energy pulsatility index provides complementary hemodynamic information to renal function in a community-based cohort
Conventional hemodynamic, including Carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV), characteristic impedance (Zc), and brachial pulse pressure, do not directly quantify pulsatile energy transmission through the arterial system. Carotid ener...

Incremental value of DXA-derived visceral versus total adiposity beyond routine anthropometric assessment for hypertension discrimination: a population-based study
Hypertension is strongly linked to obesity, yet it remains uncertain whether DXA-derived measures of adiposity improve hypertension discrimination beyond routine anthropometric assessment and whether any incremental value reflects viscer...
