Hypertension is a major cause of cardiovascular disease and deaths worldwide especially in low- middle-income countries. Despite the availability safe, well-tolerated, cost-effective blood pressure (BP)-lowering therapies, <14% adults with hypertension have BP controlled to systolic/diastolic <140/90 mm Hg. We report new treatment guidelines, developed accordance World Health Organization Handbook for Guideline Development. Overviews reviews evidence were conducted summary tables...
Raised blood pressure (BP) is the leading cause of preventable death in world. Yet, its global prevalence increasing, and it remains poorly detected, treated, controlled both high- low-resource settings. From perspective members International Society Hypertension based all regions, we reflect on past, present, future hypertension care, highlighting key challenges opportunities, which are often region-specific. We report that most countries failed to show sufficient improvements BP control...

Abstract The May Measurement Month (MMM) campaign was carried out in Sudan 2022 with the aim of raising awareness raised blood pressure (BP). Here, we report on findings campaign. Adults aged ≥ 18 years were recruited opportunistically at community spaces and educational institutes. Three seated BP readings taken for each participant, along completing a questionnaire demographics, lifestyle factors, comorbidities. Hypertension defined as systolic 140 mmHg and/or diastolic 90 or being...

The implementation of task sharing and shifting (TSTS) policy as a way addressing the shortage physicians reducing burden hypertension in Africa birthed idea African School Hypertension (ASH). ASH is saddled with responsibility training non-physician health workers across continent management uncomplicated hypertension.
To assist hypertension control programs and specifically the development of training education on for healthcare professionals, World Hypertension League has developed a resource to assess knowledge, attitudes, practices management. The assesses: (1) importance as clinical public health risk; (2) in national or international recommendations; (3) lifestyle causes hypertension; (4) measurement blood pressure, screening, diagnosis (5) therapy counseling; (6) cardiovascular risk assessment; (7)...
Abstract To raise awareness of high blood pressure (BP) levels and associated risk factors among the Sudanese population. A cross-sectional study was conducted in six states during period May–August 2018. The area included public indoor outdoor areas, institutes, service facilities. questionnaire for collecting data employed including demographic data, along with three consecutive BP measurements. Data were collected by trained volunteers. Hypertension (HTN) defined as a systolic ≥140 mmHg...
Hypertension is a leading cardiovascular risk factor, contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality in Africa. The continent plagued with high incidence, coupled low treatment control rates. causes are multifactorial, among the major an absence of standardized African guidelines for management hypertension. Systems care vary across continent, low-income countries having less than middle-income countries. International include recommendations Black populations, but do not account...
Introduction: Little is available in the literature about high blood pressure readings after COVID-19 vaccination. Although all launched vaccines used different mechanisms of action other than primary disease, hypertension development receiving vaccination still questionable. In this study, we will assess predictability utilizing vaccine hypertension. Methods: Utilizing Sudan MMM 2022 data, participants’ BP was measured. Hypertension defined as ≥140/90 mmHg. Continuous data presented mean...
Introduction: Several explanations might address the failure of antihypertensive medications: poor compliance, excessive salt ingestion, drug interactions, or an unsuspected secondary cause for hypertension. Resistant hypertension, as additional cause, is relatively rare, but all patients should be considered medically treatable until proven otherwise. Therefore, we aim to explore blood pressure readings and current control status in hypertensive Sudanese patients. Methods: Utilizing MMM...
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted how crucial to comprehend the various clinical presentations of illness improve patient treatment and healthcare resources. Objective: To investigate potential gender-based disparities in severity outcome patients Jabra Isolation Center 2021 Methodology: A descriptive-analytic record-based study was conducted at Centre, Sudan, 2021. random selection 317 performed. three zones were: mild (ward stay, Green Zone), moderate (high dependence unit,...
Introduction: Several clinical studies reported a mutual relationship between coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and high blood pressure (BP) readings. It was established that hypertension is associated with increased COVID-19 severity, morbidity, mortality; however, its effect on the future reading development of not apparent. Methods: This cross-sectional analytic study based MMM 2022, Sudan data. The targeted population >18 years old. Blood measured 3 consecutive measures....
