Objective: To examine the association of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and cardiovascular risk in normotensive adults.
Patients And Methods: This study analyzed data from 7 prospective cohorts between September 29, 1948, and December 31, 2018. Complete information on history of hypertension and baseline blood pressure measurements were required for inclusion.
Background: Lung function is constantly changing over the life course. Although the relation of cross-sectional lung function measure and adverse outcomes has been reported, data on longitudinal change and subsequent cardiovascular (CV) events risks are scarce. Therefore, this study is to determine the association of longitudinal change in lung function and subsequent cardiovascular risks.

- The study investigates the long-term effects of individual changes in body mass index (BMI) on cardiovascular outcomes, using data from four large cohorts with participants aged 45 and older who had multiple BMI measurements.
- Over a median follow-up of 21 years with 29,311 individuals, the research found a U-shaped relationship between BMI trajectories and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), indicating higher risks associated with both rapid weight loss and gain compared to maintaining stable weight.
- The results suggest that monitoring BMI changes can identify high-risk individuals for cardiovascular issues, highlighting the need for further research in weight management strategies.
The present study aimed to propose the pulmonary hypertension for predicting left ventricular dysfunction in adults after patent ductus arteriosus closure. A total of 183 patients (age ≥18 years) after patent ductus arteriosus occlusion were retrospectively collected in this study. In brief, pre-, post-procedure and short-term follow-up transthoracic echocardiography were performed.
