1. Study name: Efficacy and safety of a single-pill fixed combination of sufficient losartan/hydrochlorothiazide in Chinese hypertensive patients (FOCUS) 2. Medicine: Losartan 100 mg/hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg single-pill fixed combination; amlodipine besylate tablet (5 mg/tablet); hydrochlorothiazide tablets (25 mg/tablet) 3. Rationale: Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) combined with thiazide diuretic (DIU), which is the preferred combination for most hypertension guidelines. However, the efficacy and safety of losartan 100 mg/hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg single-pill fixed combination evaluated by ambulatory blood pressure are still lack of clinical evidence. 4. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of losartan 100 mg/hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg fixed combination for ambulatory blood pressure after 8 weeks therapy in patients over 18 years with grade 1 or 2 hypertension either newly diagnosed or with blood pressure not controlled with monotherapy. 5. Study design: This study is a multi-center, randomized and controlled clinical trial with two equally sized treatment groups: losartan/hydrochlorothiazide single-pill fixed combination and amlodipine/hydrochlorothiazide. 6. Study population: Men and Women aged over 18 years (n=300) meeting the inclusion/exclusion criteria. 7. Randomization and treatment: Patients should receive a 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring measurement before randomization. After stratification by centers, eligible patients will be randomly divided into two groups, taking losartan 100 mg/hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg fixed combination once a day or amlodipine besylate tablets (5 mg/tablet) + hydrochlorothiazide tablets (25 mg/tablet) once a day. 8. Follow up: 8 weeks. 9. Sample size: a total of 300 patients should be enrolled in the combination. 10. Timeline: After obtaining the approval of Ethics Committee of Ruijin Hospital in September 2018, recruitment will start. Patients enrollment will be performed between October 2018 to October 2020. All patients should be followed up before December 2020.
The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of remote ischemic conditioning for essential hypertension in the community population.
Using the therapy of early intervention with Qianyang Yuyin Granules to improve cognitive impairment caused by hypertension.
A total of 16 regional hospitals will be registering clinical data and biological specimens of idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH)/heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension (HPAH) patients across Korea. The diagnosis of pulmonary arterial hypertension(PAH) will be based on right heart catheterization, where PAH caused by etiology other than HPAH or IPAH will be excluded. All clinical data will be stored to a government-based online database. Each participating hospitals will be collecting whole blood from each patient, through which DNA, RNA, serum, plasma, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells will be extracted from the buffy coat layer for further multi-omics analysis.
Systemic arterial hypertension is one of major risk factors to development of target organ damage that culminate in cardiovascular diseases such as acute myocardial infarction and stroke. Sodium intake is related with elevation of arterial blood pressure due to rise of cardiac output and of arterial stiffness and it can be estimated by daily sodium excreted in urine 24h. Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring can be used to obtain peripheral and central hemodynamic parameters [arterial stiffness parameters - central blood pressure, pulse wave velocity and augmentation index]. Applanation tonometry also can be used to check same central hemodynamic parameters. Both methods provide us important informations about the patients clinical conditions and help us to infer their prognosis. Therefore, this protocol aims measure the central hemodynamic parameters in hypertensive patients, controlled or resistant, and evaluate their sodium urinary excretion. The hypothesis is the resistant hypertensive patients have parameters higher than controlled hypertensive patients.
Thiazide diuretics have demonstrated favorable blood pressure lowering efficacy, safety profile and low cost, but it is still unclear what are the equivalence of doses of their more common agents, chlorthalidone and hydrochlorothiazide. Besides, concernments about adverse metabolic effects such as hypokalemia, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia do exist, which may be attenuated with the concomitant administration of a potassium-sparing diuretic, such as amiloride. In addition to control adverse effects of thiazides, amiloride could offer an additional blood pressure lowering effect, but the efficacy of different doses was not fully established. This study aims to investigate the blood pressure lowering efficacy of chlorthalidone and hydrochlorothiazide, in combination with amiloride in different doses, for the initial management in patients with primary hypertension.
Congenital heart disease is the most common congenital anomaly. The life expectancy of children with congenital heart disease has increased considerably in recent years. Nevertheless, the evolution of these patients is marked by an increased risk of complications. Arrhythmias, heart failure, pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and endocarditis may be promoted by the absence or delay of management in childhood, by residual lesions or post-operative cardiac scars and by the presence of prosthetic materials. PAH is a common complication of congenital heart disease, especially in non-operated shunts. PAH corresponds to an increase in pulmonary vascular resistance and mean pulmonary arterial pressure that becomes greater than 25mmHg at rest, leading to right ventricular failure and ultimately to the patient's death. Eisenmenger's syndrome corresponds to a non-reversible pulmonary arterial hypertension with a left-right shunt initially left open, then right-left secondary to the increase in pulmonary vascular resistance, leading to cyanosis, polycythemia and multivisceral involvement. It is the most advanced form of PAH with congenital heart disease. PAH will be suspected during echocardiographic follow-up of any patient with congenital heart disease, on the analysis of the velocity of tricuspid and/or pulmonary regurgitation flow. Echocardiography allows the monitoring of the VD (right ventricle) function, which is the major prognostic element in PAH. Cardiac catheterization is systematically recommended and remains the gold standard to confirm the diagnosis of PAH, establish its pathophysiology and prognosis but also for the follow-up under medical treatment of these patients in tertiary centres every 6 months. Although this tool is the gold standard, rigorously performed, it remains an invasive examination often poorly experienced by patients. 4D Flow MRI is a promising imaging that allows the acquisition of anatomical, volume, right ventricular remodeling and intracardiac flow information in a single step with 2D (only 8 minutes extra), in free breathing and totally autonomous mode. Thus, at the same time as the realization of a 2D MRI, essential for the diagnosis and follow-up of PAH, with an additional 8 minutes for 4D flow, the investigators could have additional fundamental information on pulmonary cardiac output but also prognostic markers of right ventricular dysfunction turning dramatic in pulmonary vascular disease.
Background: Non-dipping hypertension(HT) (as defined by lack of decrease in systolic blood pressure (BP) by 10% during sleep) predicts cardiovascular events and mortality; however, there is a lack of evidence based treatment for non-dipping HT. While exercise is recommended to management HT, its effect on dipping status is not known. There is a lack of trials describing the relationship of exercise and blood pressure in Chinese. Method: This will be a two-arm randomized controlled trial in which Chinese non-dippers (n= 198) will be randomized to an exercise program plus usual care or to usual care by stratified randomization. The randomization sequence is blinded to the investigators and allocation is disclosed only after valid consent. The exercise program utilizes various motivational techniques to enhance exercise maintenance.
