Abstract

Cardiovascular (CV) diseases are burdened by high mortality and morbidity, being responsible for half of the deaths in Europe. Although hypertension is recognized as the most important CV risk factor, hypertension awareness and blood pressure (BP) control are still unsatisfactory. In 2017, 30.6% of a >10 000 individual sample who took part in the May Measurement Month (MMM) campaign in Italy was found to have high BP. To raise awareness on the hypertension issue and to report BP data on a nation-wide scale in Italy. In the frame of the MMM campaign, an opportunistic cross-sectional survey of volunteers aged ≥18 was carried out in May 2018. Blood pressure measurement, the definition of hypertension and statistical analysis followed the standard MMM protocol. Screenings were conducted in multiple sites by health care personnel. Among the 5554 people screened (females: 48.3%, mean age 58 ± 17 years) mean BP was 127/77 mmHg, and after imputations, 1462 (26.3%) participants were found to have high BP levels. Body mass index >25 was associated with higher systolic BP and diastolic BP (DBP), while diabetes was associated with high DBP only. Our data provide a nation-wide snapshot of BP control in a sample of individuals participating in a national health care campaign, and confirm the power of this kind of healthcare-related activities in reaching a significant number of people to raise awareness on health topics. The apparent positive trend in BP control compared to available data from other similar campaigns carried out during the past years needs to be confirmed with more methodologically robust studies.

Abstract

Background and aim: Considering the amount of novel knowledge generated in the last five years, a team of experienced hypertensionlogists was assembled to furnish updated clinical practice guidelines for the management of primary aldosteronism. Methods: To identify the most relevant studies, the authors utilized a systematic literature review in international databases by applying the PICO strategy, and then they were required to make use of only those meeting predefined quality criteria. For studies of diagnostic tests, only those that fulfilled the Standards for Reporting of Diagnostic Accuracy recommendations were considered. Results: Each section was jointly prepared by at least two co-authors, who provided Class of Recommendation and Level of Evidence following the American Heart Association methodology. The guidelines were sponsored by the Italian Society of Arterial Hypertension and underwent two rounds of revision, eventually reexamined by an External Committee. They were presented and thoroughly discussed in two face-to-face meetings with all co-authors and then presented on occasion of the 36th Italian Society of Arterial Hypertension meeting in order to gather further feedbacks by all members. The text amended according to these feedbacks was subjected to a further peer review. Conclusions: After this process, substantial updated information was generated, which could simplify the diagnosis of primary aldosteronism and assist practicing physicians in optimizing treatment and follow-up of patients with one of the most common curable causes of arterial hypertension.

Abstract

This article is a comprehensive document on the diagnosis and management of fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) which was commissioned by the Working Group 'Hypertension and the Kidney' of the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) and the Society for Vascular Medicine (SVM). This document updates previous consensus documents/scientific statements on FMD published in 2014 with full harmonization of the position of European and US experts. In addition to practical consensus-based clinical recommendations, including a consensus protocol for catheter-based angiography and percutaneous angioplasty for renal FMD, the document also includes the first analysis of the European/International FMD Registry and provides updated data from the US Registry for FMD. Finally, it provides insights on ongoing research programs and proposes future research directions for understanding this multifaceted arterial disease.

Abstract

We assessed the acute effects of 2.5 mg oral cilazapril on systemic and coronary hemodynamics in seven renovascular hypertensive patients with a chronically overactive reninangiotensin system (RAS), but with no electrocardiographic or echocardiographic signs of left ventricular hypertrophy. Cilazapril resulted in a significant decrease in mean arterial pressure and coronary vascular resistance, together with a prolonged increase in coronary sinus blood flow (CSBF). Post-cilazapril handgrip resulted in larger increases in CSBF in response to a given increase in myocardial oxygen requirements. It is concluded that the chronic activation of the RAS exerts an adverse influence on the control mechanisms of CSBF and that converting enzyme inhibition reverses the effects of angiotensin II on coronary hemodynamics. Converting enzyme inhibitors may have a cardioprotective role in renovascular hypertension.

Abstract

Many patients with cirrhosis of the liver, a disease causing liver cells to be covered with fiber-like tissue, have problems with their kidneys retaining salt. Although the mechanism of salt retention is not well understood, one of many the theories implicates dopamine, a chemical made by the body that is important for proper transmission of nerve signals. It is suggested that dopamine regulates the handling of salt by the kidneys. A disadvantage of dopamine therapy to control salt retention is that it must be given intravenously, over a long period of time. Ibopamine, a drug similar to dopamine, can be given by orally. Patients with cirrhosis of the liver were given either short-term dopamine or ibopamine. The patients in this study were divided into two groups: those with high-salt and those with low-salt excretion in the urine. Patients with low-salt excretion had evidence of ascites, an abnormal collection of fluid in the abdominal cavity. Ibopamine increased the output of urine, the glomerular filtration rate (the rate at which the kidneys filter blood), and the rate of salt excretion in the group of patients with high-salt excretion. Less salt excretion was seen in the patients having low-salt excretion before ibopamine administration. Dopamine administration produced similar results in both groups of patients. Therefore, short-term administration of ibopamine improved salt excretion only in patients having initially high salt excretion. Long-term administration studies may produce different results.
