Improving Accuracy of Blood Pressure Measurements in Patients within a Primary Care Clinic
Hypertension (HTN) is a significant healthcare concern in the primary care setting. Seventy-five million adult Americans are estimated to have HTN, and the expectation is that it will cost the healthcare system $46 billion each year. Acquiring blood pressure (BP) measurements is a simple and common …

Role of the renal nerves in hypertension
High blood pressure (hypertension; HTN) is the leading risk factor for death, yet the precise causes are unclear. The nervous system is known to play a role in some forms of HTN and research has pointed to the kidneys as a likely neural target in HTN. This possibility has been strengthened by …
