REVIEW
Evgeniya V Shalaeva, Franz H Messerli
PURPOSE: The current review is to describe the definition and prevalence of resistant arterial hypertension (RAH), the difference between refractory hypertension, patient characteristics and major risk factors for RAH, how RAH is diagnosed, prognosis and outcomes for patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: According to the WHO, approximately 1.28 billion adults aged 30-79 worldwide have arterial hypertension, and over 80% of them do not have blood pressure (BP) under control...

PURPOSE: Blood pressure variability (BPV) is an independent cardiovascular risk factor in CKD. Kidney transplantation (KTx) is associated with improved BP levels for kidney transplant recipient (KTRs), without evoking significant changes in donors. The aim of this study was to assess the short- and mid-time effects of KTx and donation on short-term BPV in KTRs and their respective living kidney donors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty KTRs and their respective donors were evaluated with 24-h ABPM (Mobil-O-Graph-NG) at baseline (1 month before), 3-months and 12-months after KTx...

PURPOSE: Primary aldosteronism (PA), characterised by low-renin hypertension, confers a high cardiovascular risk and is the most common cause of secondary hypertension, with an increased prevalence in patients with treatment-resistant hypertension. However, it is estimated that only a small percentage of affected patients are identified in routine clinical practice. Inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin system cause an increase in renin levels in patients with intact aldosterone regulation, and inadequate low renin with concurrent RAS inhibition (RASi) may therefore indicate PA, which could serve as a first look screening test for selection for formal work-up...

PURPOSE: To identify modifiable risk factors in early midlife associated with incident hypertension 26 years later in women and men. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We used data from 1025 women and 703 men in the community-based Hordaland Health Study examined at the mean age of 42 years (baseline) and after a 26-year follow-up. Patients with hypertension at baseline were excluded. Blood pressure (BP) was classified according to European guidelines. Factors associated with incident hypertension were identified in logistic regression analyses...

PURPOSE: To evaluate the validity of spot urine assay methods in estimating the 24-h urinary sodium, potassium and sodium-to-potassium ratio during three different sodium diets. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twelve healthy volunteers were asked to adhere to 3 dietary sodium targets (3.3-5.0g/day,<3.3 g/day and >5.0 g/day) for three consecutive weeks and to measure salt excretion daily in spot urine samples using a self-monitoring device. On day 7 of each week, 24-h urine was collected to compare measured with estimated 24-h salt excretion (by the Kawasaki, Tanaka and INTERSALT equations)...

PURPOSE: High sodium intake is an accepted risk factor for hypertension, while low Na+ intake has also been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events. In this cross-sectional study, we examined the association of 24-h urinary Na+ excretion with haemodynamics and volume status. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Haemodynamics were recorded in 510 normotensive and never-treated hypertensive subjects using whole-body impedance cardiography and tonometric radial artery pulse wave analysis...

PURPOSE: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and the subsequent lockdown profoundly affected almost all aspects of daily life including health services worldwide. The established risk factors for increased blood pressure (BP) and hypertension may also demonstrate significant changes during the pandemic. This study aims to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on BP control and BP phenotypes as assessed with 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a multi-centre, observational, retrospective and comparative study involving Excellence Centres of the European Society of Hypertension across Europe...

PURPOSE: Discrepancies exist between guideline recommendations and real-world practice of blood pressure (BP) measurements. The aim of this study was to assess, with a nationwide, questionnaire-based survey, the current practice of BP measurement and associated BP values in German medical practices. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A nationwide survey in German medical practices was performed in the period from 10 May 2021 to 15 August 2021. The questionnaire was divided into five sections...

BACKGROUND: Impaired cardiovascular health is a concern for firefighters, with over 50% of line-of-duty deaths having cardiac causes. Many firefighters have hypertension and <25% have their blood pressure (BP) controlled. The alarm response could be an unidentified cardiac risk, but interestingly, the BP response to different calls and on-the-job activity is unknown. PURPOSE: We aimed to measure the physiological stress resulting from different call types (fire, medical) and job activity (riding apparatus, pre-alert alarms) through ambulatory BP (ABP) monitoring in a population of firefighters...

PURPOSE: Home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) might be considered a valid alternative to ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) for both the diagnosis and management of hypertension. Correct information on how to perform HBPM are crucial for its reliability. The aim of the present survey was to assess if hypertensive patients followed current recommendation on how to correctly perform HBPM measurements. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The survey included 30 different items on how to perform the HBPM...

A growing number of epidemiological studies have reported the beneficial effects of habitual coffee consumption on incident cardiovascular disease (CVD), and mortality. However, the effects of coffee on arterial hypertension are still objects of active discussion mainly because of the debated effects of caffeine on blood pressure and cardiovascular system. In particular, the negative impact of caffeine would involve the whole cardiovascular system and could be responsible for an excess in the relative risk of new onset of hypertension and a worsening of blood pressure control...

PURPOSE: Obesity is a clear risk factor for hypertension. Blood pressure (BP) measurement in obese patients may be biased by cuff size and upper arm shape which may affect the accuracy of measurements. This study aimed to assess the accuracy of the OptiBP smartphone application for three different body mass index (BMI) categories (normal, overweight and obese). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Participants with a wide range of BP and BMI were recruited at Lausanne University Hospital's hypertension clinic in Switzerland...

Purpose: Subclinical chronic kidney disease is known to exacerbate hypertension and progression of kidney damage. In order to initiate timely interventions, early biomarkers for this vicious circle are needed. Our aim was to describe the cross-sectional associations of urinary orosomucoid and urinary N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) with blood pressure and the longitudinal associations of urinary orosomucoid and NAG to hypertension after 7 years, and to compare the strength of these associations to the urinary albumin excretion (UAE)...

REVIEW

Hypertension diagnosis is one of the most common and important procedures in everyday clinical practice. Its applicability depends on correct and comparable measurements. Cuff-based measurement paradigms have dominated ambulatory blood pressure (BP) measurements for multiple decades. Cuffless and non-invasive methods may offer various advantages, such as a continuous and undisturbing measurement character. This review presents a conceptual overview of recent advances in the field of cuffless measurement paradigms and possible future developments which would enable cuffless beat-to-beat BP estimation paradigms to become clinically viable...

Purpose . Randomised controlled trials have shown that renal denervation lowers office and ambulatory blood pressure. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether patients undergoing renal denervation procedure in a real-life setting have a reduction in antihypertensive drug prescription over the subsequent years. Material and methods . Using the healthcare utilisation database of the Lombardy Region (Italy), the 136 patients who, during the period 2011-2016, were prescribed four or more antihypertensive drugs and underwent renal denervation were included in the study cohort...
