It’s happening right here @iamwbob.bsky.social!

Off to Minneapolis to talk about healthy groceries to lower blood pressure!

This is a neat trial: Simplifications of the Standardized BP Measurement Procedure and Accuracy: The SIMPLE-AOBP Randomized Cross-Over Trial | Hypertension www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/...

This study allowed pts w/ high BP to crossover to RDN after the primary endpoint. The pre-crossover high BP was carried forward for a long-term comparison of RDN vs sham ("ITT")... wouldn't this worsen the sham mean, boosting the perceived RDN effect? www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Excited to share our data on self-monitored blood pressure among adults >=78 years. Arm size, frailty, age, sex, and blood pressure all associated with clinic discordance. Factors Associated With Discordant Blood Pressure Measures among Very Old Adults www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/...

Off to Dallas to work with colleagues on the Hypertension curriculum for AHA Scientific Sessions 2026. Excited about our ideas so far! @ahascience.bsky.social

Cool pilot trial for implementing DASH: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41606653/

I just found the delegate option in sciencv!!!!! Now collaborators who could use some help with the new system can send my way! Pretty sweet!

Important work showing that lower out-of-clinic BP is not associated with falls among older adults. www.ahajournals.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Excited to present the GoFreshRx trial at the ACC Scientific Sessions on Sat 3/28. GoFreshRx focuses on groceries and blood pressure among adults who are treated for hypertension. It is a complement to GoFresh (adults without hypertension): jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... Hope to see you there!

📣 In this week's PCT Grand Rounds, @spjuraschek.bsky.social of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center will present "DASH Groceries to Stop Hypertension: Results From the GoFresh Trial." Join us! 🔗 duke.is/pctnews20260...

For anyone struggling to find their publications on the new NIH biosketch (sciencv) -> I found them under the ORCID tab. Need to check both the my bibliography and orcid tab to find your publications.

Excited to share our article informing the ongoing debate related to whether there should be sex-specific hypertension thresholds. Huge congrats to the two med students who led this effort! Sex-Specific Blood Pressure Thresholds in Middle-Aged Adults www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/...

This neat study simultaneously compared two validated home devices in 121 adults, finding notable discordance. Wrist was higher and less precise than upper arm...I'm curious about potential causes of discordance (like tronco-conical arm shape). www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Great meta-analysis on deprescribing among older adults for your archives, looking at cardiovascular and hypotensive (falls, OH) endpoints. Not surprisingly most pooled analyses favor continuation (strongest heart failure), but also suggestive for falls, death. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Neat review on supine hypertension...the next coolest thing in hypertension research (in my humble opinion)! www.nature.com/articles/s41... Love this figure! @rueyhu.bsky.social

Grateful to work with collaborators from MIT on a next generation abdominal binder that might reduce orthostatic fluctuations in blood pressure. Check it out: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Happy Holidays everyone!!!

Interesting paper on the omics of orthostatic hypotension. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Nice systematic review on the impact of attendance on AOBP...turns out to be minimal. The uncertainty this concept caused with respect to implementing SPRINT was extensive especially in Europe. I'm hopeful the hypertension community is ready to let it go! www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/...

This is a neat concept, but it's a shame authors lumped antihypertensives with meds like benzodiazepines....I think they are different both in terms of their benefits and risk for falls... pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41359604/

Excited to see our home BP results in press! Note no change in AOBP vs changes in self-monitored BP. We observed med intensification and de-intensification in response to the home BPs...makes you wonder about those getting less treatment based on home... pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41259005/

The new AHA/ACC BP guidelines recommend against cuffless devices, but I learned one company is in over 150 health systems. Renal denervation may be a significant driver of the cuffless ABPM market with the new Medicare coverage checklist:
