Filter by:It has been proposed that the modulation of the activity of the sympathetic nervous system, through renal sympathetic denervation, besides reducing blood pressure, would promote an improvement in vascular reactivity and consequent improvement of macro and microcirculation. The present study aimed to investigate the influence of the renal sympathetic denervation on the skin microvascular function of patients presenting with resistant arterial hypertension.
The study will evaluate the variability of blood pressure in postmenopausal and hypertensive women after only one session and after training of ten weeks of combined physical exercises (aerobic and resisted).
The SPRINT study used a blood pressure measurement procedure that differs from earlier studies in arterial hypertension. SPRINT type readings are lower than regular office measurements. The extent of the disagreement between SPRINT and office measurements may differ in distinct patient groups. This difference is not yet known for patients after renal transplantation. However, it is important to know the difference in order to apply SPRINT findings to transplant recipients.
There is growing evidence that central blood pressure is a better predictor of hypertensive end-organ damage and cardiovascular outcome than routine brachial readings. The investigators aimed to evaluate the accuracy of a novel device for the non-invasive determination of central blood pressure based on automated oscillometric radial pulse wave analysis.
The aim of this study is to compare the effect of fixed and free combination of atorvastatin/perindopril/amlodipine on blood pressure and lipid levels.

This is an observational prospective study of azilsartan medoxomil / chlorthalidone compared with irbesartan / hydrochlorothiazide in routine therapy of patients with arterial hypertension and obesity.
Regular exercise is recommended as an adjuvant treatment in hypertensive subjects by both European and American guidelines. Crucially, however, there are no precise recommendations on the type of physical exercise and how it should be instituted A relatively short period (5 months) of regular aerobic interval training (AIT), significantly decreased blood pressure, pulse wave velocity, and most applanation tonometry indexes in hypertensive subjects also undertaking pharmacological treatment in our study.
Membrane microparticles are submicron fragments of membrane vesicles shed from various cell types. Circulating endothelial microparticles have been proposed as markers of endothelial injury. However, which mechanical forces contribute to their release is not clear.
Epidemiological studies have found a link between aircraft noise exposure and increased incidence of arterial hypertension and thus cardiovascular disease. The underlying pathophysiological mechanisms are not yet fully understood. The kidney acts as a long-term regulator of blood pressure and controls the extracellular sodium and water balance. Significant renal mechanisms of blood pressure regulation are the renin angiotensin system, renal sympathetic activity and sodium excretion. Animal work and clinical studies show that mental stress affects the renal plasma flow and urinary sodium excretion. The investigators observed a lower sodium excretion in situations of mental stress in subjects at risk for developing arterial hypertension. In healthy volunteers, a 30-minute mental stress test resulted in increased glomerular filtration rate, filtration fraction and an increase in urinary sodium excretion. In this pilot study the investigators analyzed the influence of 30 minutes standardized aircraft noise on renal and central hemodynamics.
