Filter by:Delay in the diagnosis of systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) causes morbid hypertensive status with target organ damage (TOD). Screening and surveillance of SAH used to be performed through self-measurement of blood pressure (SMBP) or routinary in clinic blood pressure measurement (CBPM). It is essential to determine the correlation between the cumulative blood pressure load through ABPM and the left ventricular mass identified by three-dimensional transthoracic ultrasound (3D-TTE). We postulate a directly proportional and statistically significant association between cumulative blood pressure load and left ventricular mass (LVM).
Systemic arterial hypertension is a serious health problem worldwide. In some cases, it can phenotypically present as resistant arterial hypertension, which consists of blood pressure levels outside the treatment goals in patients using three or more classes of antihypertensive drugs, one of which is preferably a thiazide diuretic. Resistant hypertension contributes to a 47% higher risk of developing cardiovascular events when compared to patients with non-resistant hypertension. It is known that the microcirculation plays a relevant role in the pathophysiology of arterial hypertension. Furthermore, it is known that the cutaneous microvascular network is an adequate model and that it reflects the systemic microcirculation. In this sense, the present research proposes the study of cutaneous capillary density - through high resolution intravital microscopy - and of the endothelium-dependent and independent microvascular vasodilator response - by the speckle laser flowmetry method coupled to a pharmacological system of micro- iontophoresis - in patients diagnosed with resistant hypertension, with the aim of identifying changes in comparison with patients with non-resistant hypertension and normotensive individuals. Additionally, the evaluation of the association between systemic microvascular function and the presence of target organ lesions in this population may indicate that this is a new non-invasive way of stratifying cardiovascular risk in these individuals.
In the context of physical exercise, there is no evidence of the acute and continued use of beetroot juice with a previously recommended dose of nitrate (NO3) (>300mg) on the cardiovascular performance of hypertensive and postmenopausal women. We will investigate the effects of beetroot juice rich in NO3 acutely (first day: 140mL/800mg) and during a week with daily doses (second to the seventh day: 70mL/400mg) on blood pressure, heart rate (HR), cardiac autonomic control, EF, inflammatory, hormonal, and stress biomarkers oxidative stress and enzymes involved in nitric oxide synthesis and mitochondrial regulation, under resting conditions, as well as mediated by submaximal aerobic exercise sessions. Through a randomized, crossover, triple-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, 20 physically inactive hypertensive women will undergo an acute and 7-day trial, each with two intervention protocols: 1) placebo and 2) beetroot; in which will ingest beet juice with or without NO3 in its composition with a 7-day washout interval. On collection days, exercise will be performed on a treadmill for 40 minutes at a speed corresponding to 65-70% of VO2peak. The collection of variables (cardiovascular, autonomic, and blood samples for molecular analyses) of the study will take place at rest (120 minutes after ingestion of the intervention), during exercise (40 minutes), and in the effort recovery stage (during 65 minutes) based on previously validated protocols. The collections were arranged so that the measurement of one variable does not interfere with the other and that they have adequate intervals between them.
The aim of the study is to assess the improvement of health in patients affected by CKD when they are exposed to non-pharmacological treatment strategies as nutritional program (NP), physical activity program (PA) and mindfulness program (MP), when they are conveyed to the patient by means of digital technologies or not. In the present study, non-pharmacological interventions conveyed by a digital technology (investigational arm) will be compared to a standard, paper-based approach (control arm).
Norepinephrine is the vasopressor of choice for the treatment of peri-anesthetic arterial hypotension. The use of this drug at significantly lower concentrations (dilution factor between 40 and 200) than the commercial preparation is increasingly common in the operating room ("baby-noradrenaline"). In addition, dilution errors are potentially serious for the patient (hypertensive peak) The preparation of precise dilutions is an important factor for the safe use of this medically In this study, the investigators wish to compare the dilution method of the protocol with another method of preparation (left to the free choice of the participant).
The ANM is the first initiative that puts advanced pharmaceutical care into practice in Andalusia (Spain). The aim of this is study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention Assistance to New Medicines (ANM) in the improvement of adherence to treatment in community pharmacies.
The problem of the quality of primary health care medical system for patients with arterial hypertension is acute for the investigator's country, as these diseases are the most common and cause the high mortality of the population. The concept of "quality of primary health care medical system" includes its timeliness, accessibility and provision of medical care to the patient at the modern level, which is determined by the degree of performance by doctors of medical and diagnostic measures corresponding current clinical recommendations. The system of cardiovascular desease registries, established in the Federal State Clinical Hospital of the Russian Federation Ministry of Public Health with the automated analysis of data on examination and treatment, in comparison with clinical Recommendations. It makes possibility to identify shortcomings and develop approaches to improving the provision of medical care to patients in real clinical practice. Comparative analysis of the quality of examination and treatment in different samples of patients with cardiovascular desease, observed in 2018-2020, compared with results of previous years will identify ptrends in the provision of medical care to patients with cardiovascular desease.
Heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) is a disease with increasing prevalence world wide. Due to its etiological and prognostic relationship with hypertension, it is highly interesting to know the characteristics and influence of Blood pressure levels and of the hemodynamic biomarkers, measured by Ambulatory Blood Pressure measurement in the outcome of patients with (HF-PEF), defined by the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality (hospital re-admissions, emergency room visits, functional decline and mortality). The investigators consider other factors such as Frailty, comorbidities, and the baseline functional capacity to asses the prognostic value.
The aim of study is to assess the angioprotective effects of antihypertensive combination therapy with perindopril 10 mg and moxonidine 0.4-0.6 mg in patients with arterial hypertension, metabolic syndrome, and obesity, who had Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) > 10 m/s on the previously administered two-component combination antihypertensive therapy. Open-label non-comparative prospective study for 24 week for each patient.
International recommendations advocate dynamic or isometric strength training as an adjunct to aerobic exercise. Due to a lack of consensus, this research addresses the acute effects of isometric exercises by handgrip or lower limb isometry as a hypotensive strategy in hypertensive adults.
