Introduction: Co-morbid insomnia and sleep apnea (COMISA) has been linked to poorer health outcomes and increased all-cause mortality compared with either insomnia or obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) alone.
Materials And Methods: We investigated the relationship between COMISA and uncontrolled hypertension in the Swedish CardioPulmonary BioImage Study (SCAPIS). A cross-sectional analysis including participants from the SCAPIS Gothenburg cohort (n=3832, 46% males, age 57.

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for nearly half of all heart failure cases and is increasing in prevalence due to aging populations and comorbidities such as hypertension and diabetes. While echocardiography remains the diagnostic cornerstone, many patients with preserved ejection fraction present with nonspecific symptoms and ambiguous diastolic indices, leading to diagnostic uncertainty and therapeutic delay. Arterial stiffness-quantified by pulse wave velocity, augmentation index, and cardio-ankle vascular index)-is emerging as a key contributor to HFpEF pathophysiology.

Hydralazine is an antihypertensive that can induce immune-related adverse effects, such as hydralazine-induced lupus and hydralazine-induced antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV). AAV involves necrotizing inflammation of small blood vessels, manifesting as fever, malaise, arthralgia, and myalgia, potentially leading to organ failure. Diagnosis includes clinical evaluation, serological testing for ANCA, and histopathological examination, confirmed by necrotizing granulomatous inflammation in affected tissues.

Introduction: Black Americans have the highest prevalence of hypertension among all racial or ethnic groups in the United States. They are 40% more likely to have uncontrolled blood pressure (BP) and are five times more likely to die from hypertension compared with non-Hispanic Whites. Experiences of discrimination in health care, clinician and institutional bias, and socioeconomic and environmental inequities driven by structural racism contribute to uncontrolled hypertension in this population.
