- Socioeconomic inequalities in catastrophic expenditures for hypertension management in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. [Journal Article]Blood Press. 2026 Oct 05; :1-32. [Online ahead of print]BP
- CONCLUSIONS: It is our view that patients with lower socioeconomic status are targeted by policy actions to address their vulnerability in hypertension care.

- Hypertension epidemiology and primary care indicators in Portugal: a contemporary nationwide analysis. [Journal Article]Blood Press. 2026 Dec; 35(1):2729494.BP
- CONCLUSIONS: Hypertension management indicators in Portuguese primary care improved substantially between 2021 and 2025; however, regional disparities and methodological limitations remain. Current monitoring frameworks provide valuable real-world insights but incompletely capture clinically meaningful outcomes, supporting the need for more outcome-directed systems.

- Long-term stability and blood pressure change tracking with a cuffless wearable device in hypertensive patients. [Journal Article]Blood Press. 2026 Dec; 35(1):2707794.BP
- CONCLUSIONS: CSEM's wearable cuffless BP monitor provided stable BP estimation and concordant BP tracking during antihypertensive therapy. Interpretation is tempered by substantial variability of the oscillometric reference device. If confirmed in larger studies against a gold-standard reference, these findings could support the clinical acceptance of wearable cuffless BP monitoring.

- OSAS.MAP10 and all-cause mortality risk in hypertensive patients: a retrospective cohort analysis of NHANES. [Journal Article]Blood Press. 2026 Dec; 35(1):2721754.BP
- CONCLUSIONS: Higher OSAS.MAP10 scores showed a nonlinear association with all-cause mortality among hypertensive adults aged ≥60 years. The increase above approximately 6.2 was observed only without continuous age adjustment and was attenuated thereafter. This inflection point is hypothesis-generating and requires validation in an independent cohort.

- CONCLUSIONS: PEH following aerobic exercise is characterised by a distinct responder phenotype associated with greater reductions in aortic augmentation index and favourable cardiac adaptations. These findings highlight substantial interindividual variability in BP responses and support the need for individualised exercise strategies in hypertension management.
