Dear Sir,
On behalf of Dr.C.Venkata S Ram Sir, I am attaching the paper just published in the American Journal of Medical Sciences about the value of 24 hr ambulatory blood pressure measurement (ABPM) in clinical practice. To our knowledge, this is one of the largest studies performed on the role of ABPM in the community setting. The findings are an important contribution from India to the evolving field of blood pressure measurement technologies.
Thanking you.
Best wishes.

Introduction from the ISH Secretary
|
|
 It is that time of year, when for many countries, the year is drawing to a close. It is often a time of reflection on the year that is about to pass and what the new year of 2022 will hold for us all. There is no doubt, that as in 2020, 2021 has continued to be a difficult year because of the pandemic and we face continued uncertainty at the moment with the emergence of another variant, omicron. This makes planning for the future somewhat challenging, especially with regard to scientific meetings and congresses, which we have all missed. Whilst we have used video platforms to stay in touch and hold scientific meetings, they are no substitute for the real thing. We have to admire the commitment of those leading the organisation of future conferences. Only this week, I saw the video produced by Hiroshi Itoh and his colleagues in Japan (see the link below). Hiroshi is leading the organisation of the ISH Scientific meeting in Kyoto next October. Have a look at the sheer commitment and enthusiasm of Hiroshi and colleagues in that video, it is inspiring, and I hope it will inspire all of you to start planning to attend the ISH 2022 Congress in the charming and wonderful city of Kyoto next October.
When reflecting on the past year, I think there have been a number of positive developments for the treatment of hypertension. The challenge of the pandemic has also brought opportunity. Many patients with hypertension have not been able to get to their doctor to have their blood pressure checked because of lockdowns. This has led to a marked increase in use of home blood pressure monitoring and I hope this is the beginning of a trend towards this being adopted more widely, because evidence suggests it does better engage patients in the management of their blood pressure. Of course, the cost of devices means that this isn't possible in all parts of the world but it should be and we should be pushing to ensure that very low cost and effective devices for blood pressure measurement become more widely available especially for low income countries. I am also encouraged by the number of new blood pressure drug treatments that are in development, deploying advances in biological therapies to deliver more consistent and long term blood pressure control, through a variety of innovative mechanisms. After a period when the Pharma industry seemed to have cooled its enthusiasm for new drug development for hypertension, green shoots on innovation are beginning to emerge and it is good to see.
Talking of green shoots, I am hugely encouraged by the remarkable enthusiasm I have seen for more information on hypertension in the many on-line conferences I have attended, or spoken at, across the world, as well as the number of younger people getting involved in hypertension. We must nurture this interest in hypertension in our young clinicians and scientists. There are so many competing opportunities in medicine and research for younger people today. It is important that we recognise that and inspire, enthuse and promote opportunities for younger people to develop their interest in hypertension. They are the leaders of the future. This is wonderfully captured in many aspects of the eBulletin below, with the ISH new investigator networks, the mentorship and training committee etc. examples of the ISH being pre-eminent in promoting career development of younger people.
Another poignant reflection for me this week occurred during an event our hospital held to remember our health care staff who died in service during the pandemic. I worked alongside many of them and it is human nature to only realise and value what a contribution they and all front line health care staff have made after they are no longer with us. It emphasised how important our colleagues and friends and families are. So, as we come to the end of another tumultuous year, take time to care for the people you care about, and who care about you, and spare a thought for those in troubled parts of the world. Season's greetings from all at ISH, wherever you are in the world and best wishes for a healthy and successful 2022.

The WiHRC organised 30-minute online mentoring meetings between young (mentee) and senior (mentor) scientists between 11th and 22nd October 2021. We wanted to stimulate scientific networking and provide a space to facilitate discussion not limited to science, where mentees would have an opportunity to talk freely about any concern/topic they wanted to address. In this first WiHRC mentoring event, we were very fortunate to have 10 exceptional mentors participating in this initiative, and 16 mentees were enrolled and paired with one or two mentors for the meetings, according to their interests. The feedback from the meetings was very positive, with reports of very open and productive discussions for example about work-family-balance, research during the pandemic and career planning. We also got feedback highlighting that the one-to-one mentoring meetings format was a very good opportunity to communicate with mentors from all over the world and establish a relationship with them. We hope to offer new sessions again soon, and hopefully gather more people to join us in this wonderful initiative. |

The World Health Organization has determined that reducing dietary sodium (salt- sodium chloride) is one of the most important and cost-effective means to enhance population health. Leading national and international non-governmental health and scientific organizations have a strong role to play in supporting the reduction of dietary sodium at the population level. Resolve to Save Lives and the World Hypertension League have overseen the development of the attached fact sheet and global call to action based on the best available evidence linking dietary sodium to health concerns and on how to reduce dietary sodium. The fact sheet is intended to be used for advocacy to accelerate the spread and scale of dietary sodium reduction programs.
We ask your organization to review the fact sheet and support it. Organizations supporting the fact sheet will be listed in the publication of the fact sheet, likely in the Journal of Human Hypertension, and be able to nominate an author for the publication. We request a response by Nov 15th, 2021 to Dr N Campbell (ncampbel@ucalgary.ca).

Dear WHL Members,
On the 25th August 2021 the WHO launched new guidance for the pharmacological treatment of hypertension in adults, for the full guidelines click here.
Dr. Taskeen Khan, of the WHO Dept. of Noncommunicable Diseases, who led the guideline development, said "The new global guideline on the treatment of hypertension, the first in 20 years, provides the most current and relevant evidence based global public health guidance on the initiation of treatment (with pharmacological agents) for hypertension in adults.
WHL President Dr. Xin-Hua Zhangcommented on the guidelines,"The WHO new guideline encourages initiating treatment of diagnosed hypertension before having lab tests and risk assessment. These recommendations will speed up hypertension control and coverage globally". WHL Pres.-Elect Dr. Paul D. Whelton, who contributed to the guidelines, commented, "These guidelines provide structured recommendations for the pharmacological management of hypertension. They are based on a rigorous interpretation of the available evidence and will be especially useful in middle- and low-income countries. I support the guidelines recommendations with high enthusiasm and hope they will facilitate control of hypertension globally. WHL Secretary General Dr. Gianfranco Parati stated, "These guidelines offer guidance on some controversial issues, such as when to start treatment and whether laboratory testing and cardiovascular risk assessment are needed prior to starting treatment. Such guidance is provided from a global perspective, and will have specific relevance to low- and middle-income countries, with the possibility for nonphysician professionals, such as pharmacists and nurses, to be directly involved in hypertension treatment after adequate training, specific management protocols and physician oversight.
The recommendations focus on the level of blood pressure to start medication for hypertension, the target blood pressure level for successful treatment, how often to have follow up checks on blood pressure, and who in the health system can provide treatment.The primary audiences for the guideline are clinicians and health-care providers at all levels of health care. Secondary audiences are national NCD/CVD programme managers, health-care academics, policy-makers setting practice recommendations, students, and hypertension medicine manufacturers. The availability of treatment should be complemented by other measures, such as: promoting healthier diets and regular physical activity; more strictly controlling tobacco products; and identifying and treating comorbidities such as diabetes and pre-existing heart disease.

Introduction from the ISH Chair of Communications
 The Hypertension 2021 Joint Scientific Meeting of the International Society of Hypertension, European Society of Hypertension, and British and Irish Hypertension Society has drawn to a close giving us an opportunity to reflect. The numbers are impressive: 127 hours of transmission, almost 1500 presentations and 5380 registrants from 128 countries. Hypertension 2021 therefore represented one of the largest and certainly the most diverse Scientific Meetings that the ISH has hosted. The virtual platform was not without its hiccups, but I believe that the presenters and moderators did a phenomenal job of navigating a virtual landscape that is still new for many of us. With Kyoto 2022 and the 29th Scientific Meeting of the International Society of Hypertension now in our sights it will be important to build on this momentum and have a highly successful (hopefully in-person) congress. You can find out more about Kyoto 2022 later in this bulletin.
There were many exciting elements of the Hypertension 2021 program but always notable is the announcement of the ISH Award Winners. As you will see below this year’s class was absolutely top class. Our awardees were also joined by the initial cohort of International Society of Hypertension Fellows. Congratulations to my many colleagues who were recognized for their scientific excellence with this honour. The meeting was also notable for the presentation of the ISH Global Hypertension Practice Guidelines and highly active sessions from our Regional Advisory Groups, the New Investigator Committee, and the Women in Hypertension Research Committee. If you missed any of these excellent presentations, you can still access them in the online portal until July 15th.
Looking forward, the next few months promise to be busy ones for the ISH. May Measurement Month has just launched and will run through November (details below). Related to this, World Hypertension Day will be held on May 17th. Be sure to spread the word about the global burden of hypertension and its complications during this critical time. There are also a variety of new activities from the Research and Education Committee, New Investigator Committee, and the Women in Hypertension Research Committee outlined below and be sure to stay tuned to our twitter feed (@ISHBP) for the latest on all ISH activities.
With the scientific meeting approaching many of you may have missed out on the most recent issue of Hypertension News. I may be (am) biased but I think that it is an issue of the highest quality. The Learning the Ropes Feature on Pulmonary Hypertension features four of the foremost experts worldwide and the New Blood feature highlights the work of some of our newest leaders within the ISH. You can view the latest issue here. Stay tuned for our next issue which will, not surprisingly, feature a comprehensive recap of the 2021 Scientific Meeting.
Finally, I would be remiss if I did not highlight the launch of the new ISH Web Site. Behind the scenes many challenges were faced but it was an absolute pleasure working with the Web Site Task Force and I think that the end product is excellent. I hope that you will enjoy the modern look, easier navigation and the new “President’s Blog” which will provide you with societal updates directly from ISH President Maciej Tomaszewski.
ISH Communications Committee Chair Dylan Burger
