Thanks Swapnil! We took your compromise and focused on potassium:sodium ratio! It takes both!

Thanks for all the support, Tim! Excited to keep collaborating on GoFreshSoutheast! More to come!

Congratulations to the AHA distinguished scientists!

OMAN is interesting. They enrolled a nocturnal htn population. Something that TIME, BedMed, BedMed-Frail were not able to do.

Love the subtitles idea. TY!

I feel like I am increasingly in two zoom meetings at once...I found a way to arrange my headphones to listen to both, but I do find it difficult to focus on content at the same time (impossible to contribute simultaneously).

Any tips out there?

Please fill out this 10-minute survey from colleagues of Hypertension Canada on the standardized BP procedure.

Feel free to fill out a survey for each clinical site where you measure BP in an outpatient setting.

Great reminder. Shared decision-making/treatment goals key for this group.

Important paper addresses how frequently should home BP monitoring be performed. They concluded every 12-months...I'm kind of a 6-month person myself if people are stable (aligned with semiannual monitoring), but monthly when titrating...thoughts?

No mortality benefit (and potentially harm) from antihypertensive deprescription among frail older adults. Meta-analyze that!

The ISH was very sad to learn of the death of Professor Graham MacGregor, an outstanding physician, hypertension researcher and tenacious public health advocate.

Graham was winner of the ISH’s most prestigious award in 2010.

Thank you for featuring our work!

I can't wait to share! There's a lot to unpack and love to hear what people think. We really focused on finding a grocery ordering strategy that would achieve health benefits. I think that is a critical piece of Food-Is-Medicine and sets up a good starting point to think more about implementation.

Excited to share our GoFresh late-breaking trial results at
@ahascience.bsky.social in New Orleans!!!

You really think they haven't looked at it? Wouldn't you want to show that to make your case? It's odd.

Its a strange omission of a very low bar
