Talk:Hypertension

To merit "good article" status, needs to address dipping vs. non-dipping somehow
dipping vs. non-dipping might be addressed at least in part by a sentence citing this section:

Secondary hypertension

 * Why are there two sections with the same title, both summarizing the secondary hypertension article?


 * The second of these two sections says "Kidney disease is the most common secondary cause of hypertension", with a 2007 source. But this 2018 article - https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/joim.12831 - says that primary aldosteronism is "the most common form of secondary hypertension".


 * The second of these two sections ends with "A 2018 review found that any alcohol increased blood pressure in males while over one or two drinks increased the risk in females". But isn't alcohol intake an environmental factor in primary hypertension? -- John Broughton (♫♫) 16:41, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

Censoring HUNT study?

 * Any clue why was this reference deleted? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hypertension&oldid=prev&diff=1194011142 --Nirts (talk) 19:22, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi, as I said in the edit message, it's a primary source. See WP:MEDRS. a455bcd9 (Antoine) (talk) 04:49, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Cats: which is it?
“Hypertension in cats is indicated with a systolic blood pressure greater than 150 mmHg, with amlodipine the usual first-line treatment. A cat with a systolic blood pressure above 170 mmHg is considered hypertensive.”
 * Is it 150 or 170?

 * According to Table 4 in the source which supports the statement, 150-159 = Bordline hypertensive, 160-179 = Hypertensive, >180 = Severely hypertensive. CV9933 (talk) 09:34, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
