Association of morning home systolic blood pressure and albuminuria with cardiovascular events in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: The KAMOGAWA-HBP study.

Home blood pressure variability and risk of cardiovascular outcomes in elderly patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation from the ANAFIE registry.

Urinary Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio and Risk of Incident Cardiovascular Disease in the KoGES-ARIRANG Community-Based Cohort.

PURPOSE We aimed to assess whether low-grade albuminuria, characterized by a low urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) within the normal range (<30 mg/g), could predict cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in a low-risk general population, with an emphasis on sex- and menopause-specific differences. MATERIALS AND M...

Blood pressure and cardiovascular risk in adults with non-proteinuric chronic kidney disease without diabetes.

We investigated the association between blood pressure (BP) and the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in individuals with non-proteinuric chronic kidney disease (CKD) without diabetes. Using a large-scale nationwide administrative claims and health checkup database in Japan, we identified 287,238 non-diabetic adults...

Association of blood-pressure time-in-therapeutic range with morbidity and mortality in hypertensive patients: a retrospective cohort study in the community setting

Hypertension is one of the leading modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease. This study assessed the association between good blood pressure control (GBPC), measured by time in therapeutic range (TTR) during the first year after hypertension diagnosis, and kidney or cardiovascular (K/CV) events and mort...

Body mass index modifies cardiovascular risk across blood pressure categories, particularly among underweight adults with hypertension: a 6.3 million‑person nationwide Japanese cohort study.

Co-occurring obesity and hypertension is associated with high cardiovascular risk, whereas the prognostic significance of underweight in the presence of hypertension remains uncertain. We examined whether the association between body mass index category and 10-year risk of major adverse cardiovascular events differed a...
