Prevalence of masked hypertension and its association with subclinical cardiovascular disease in African Americans: results from the Jackson Heart Study.
Using data from the Jackson Heart Study, an exclusively African American population-based cohort, the researchers evaluated the association of masked hypertension and prehypertension with left ventricular mass index and common carotid intima media thickness. Masked hypertension was common among African Americans with prehypertension and also normal clinic blood pressure, and was associated with subclinical cardiovascular disease.

The association of reduced lung function with blood pressure variability in African Americans: data from the Jackson Heart Study.
The reseaerchers evaluated the association between percent predicted lung-function and 24-hour blood pressure variability (BPV) in 1008 African Americans enrolled in the Jackson Heart Study who underwent ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring. They found that lung-function was not associated with increased 24-hour BPV.
