@AnastasiaSMihai Thx Anastasia for the interesting lecture!! Many participants ask questions even after the session!! Sex difference in hypertension is something we should continue to work on together!
Our study suggests that taking anti-hypertension medications in the evening may be a potential treatment for nighttime high blood pressure, but more high-quality research is still needed to confirm this finding.

In this new cohort study published in @JHypertension, we investigated the age-stratified association of cardiovascular disease with brachial and central blood pressures and evaluated corresponding improvement in model performance.
Central BP stronger predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in middle-aged adults, even when accounting for brachial BP. (not observed in older adults). Further research: role of central BP in assessing CVD risk for middle-age. https://t.co/uv5wcuRt1E
