Really nice paper documenting the importance of early treatment for hypertension to improve control rates, and (surprise, surprise) monotherapy often wasn't enough! ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.11…

So many papers show this....supine HTN -> nocturnal polyuria (pressure natriuresis) -> morning orthostatic intolerance (hypovolemia)...ironic that permissive HTN may make OH worse! Nocturnal polyuria is common in Parkinson’s and is associated with OH sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Intriguing analysis showing treatment of adults w/ OH does not cause more OH & prevents CVD. journals.plos.org/plosone/articl… We have a potential mechanism for this in an abstract submitted to AHA Science Hypertension Scientific Sessions in Baltimore Sept '25. Excited to discuss more!
