Endothelin-1 and F2-isoprostane relate to and predict renal dysfunction in hypertensive patients.

2008

Background. Hypertension and additional non-traditional risk factors can damage the kidney directly and by promoting atherogenesis. Evidence indicates that increased oxidative stress and inflammation may mediate a large part of the effects of risk factors on the kidney. We hypothesized that in hypertensive patients (HT), oxidative stress, measured as 8-ISO-prostaglandin F2alpha (8-ISO-PGF2alpha), should raise paralleling decreasing renal function and should correlate with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Methods. In 626 HT with renal function ranging from stages 1 to 5 and 100 healthy controls, plasma levels of 8-ISO-PGF2alpha, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP), transfor…

Trattamento non farmacologico dell'ipertensione arteriosa

2022

Un adeguato trattamento dell’ipertensione arteriosa include sia la terapia farmacologica sia quella non farmacologica, mirando ad ottenere un effetto additivo e complementare. Le modificazioni dello stile di vita costituiscono il trattamento non farmacologico di prima scelta della malattia ipertensiva, come indicato da tutte le Linee guida internazionali. Uno stile di vita sano può prevenire o ritardare l’insorgenza dello stato ipertensivo e può ridurre il rischio cardiovascolare del paziente iperteso, oltre ad offrire la possibilità di aumentare l’efficacia antipertensiva della terapia farmacologica.

Parathyroid hormone is inversely related to endothelin-1 in patients on haemodialysis

2008

SUMMARY: Aim: Parathyroid hormone secretion is mainly influenced by hypocalcaemia, hyperphosphataemia and vitamin D deficiency. However, previous in vitro and in vivo studies showed that endothelin-1 can influence parathyroid hormone secretion. This study was aimed at evaluating this relationship in vivo in uraemic patients. Methods: Parathyroid hormone and endothelin-1 plasma concentrations were measured in 67 haemodialysed patients. Patients with history of cardiovascular diseases and those with parathyroid adenoma were excluded. Results: Plasma levels of endothelin-1 were found to be inversely related to those of parathyroid hormone (P < 0.04) The multiple regression analysis, carried ou…

[PP.07.19] ASSOCIATION OF MAXIMUM SPEED OF BLOOD PRESSURE RISE DURING 24-H ABPM WITH SUBCLINICAL RENAL DAMAGE IN ESSENTIAL HYPERTENSION

2017

Objective: Experimental studies documented that the mechanical injury of intravascular pressure on the vessel wall, which results in vascular remodelling and atherosclerosis, may be more closely associated to oscillatory than to steady laminar shear stress This suggests that the hypertensive patient's prognosis may depend not only on average BP level but also on the degree and rate of BP variation. Little is known about the relationships between early renal abnormalities and the rate of BP changes assessed by intermittent 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM). Our study was aimed to analyse the relationships between subclinical renal damage (SRD), defined as the presence of microalbuminuria …

Microalbuminuria and early endothelial activation in essential hypertension

2006

We hypothesized that in essential hypertensive patients (EHs), plasma levels of pro-atherogenic adhesion molecules would be increased and related with urine albumin excretion (UAE). Thus, this study was aimed at evaluating biochemical markers of endothelial activation and their relationship with UAE in a group of patients with uncomplicated EH. In basal condition soluble forms of adhesion molecules intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 and vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1, as well as 24-h UAE were assayed. One hundred patients with essential hypertension and no diabetes or ultrasonographic evidence of atherosclerosis were included in the study. Seventy normotensive healthy subjec…

Relation of C-reactive protein to oxidative stress and to endothelial activation in essential hypertension.

2005

Background: C-reactive protein (CRP) predicts cardiovascular outcome. Oxidative stress is considered to be involved in endothelial alteration. We hypothesized that in essential hypertension (EH), oxidative stress, as measured by 8-iso-prostaglandin-F2 alfa (8-iso-PGF2alfa), should be associated with increased CRP and endothelial activation, as evaluated by soluble intercellular adhesion molecule–1 (ICAM-1) and vascular adhesion molecule–1 (VCAM-1) plasma levels. Methods: In 83 subjects with mild EH and in 50 healthy control subjects we measured, in basal conditions, plasma levels of hs-CRP, 8-iso-PGF2 alfa, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1, and tumor necrosis factor–alfa (TNF-alfa). Results: Subjects with…

Clinical correlates of renal dysfunction in hypertensive patients without cardiovascular complications: the REDHY study

2009

Our study was aimed to assess the clinical correlates of different degrees of renal dysfunction in a wide group of non-diabetic hypertensive patients, free from cardiovascular (CV) complications and known renal diseases, participating to the REDHY (REnal Dysfunction in HYpertension) study. A total of 1856 hypertensive subjects (mean age: 47+/-14 years), attending our hypertension centre, were evaluated. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was estimated by the simplified Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study prediction equation. A 24-h urine sample was collected to determine albumin excretion rate (AER). Albuminuria was defined as an AER greater than 20 mug min(-1). We used the classi…

The introduction in the past few years of advanced optical coherence tomography (OCT) techniques has greatly increased our understanding of the choroid, which is the most important vascular layer of the eye. Our study aimed to assess choroidal thickness by using swept-source OCT (SS-OCT) in essential hypertensive patients (EHs) with and without early-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD). We enrolled 100 EHs, of whom 65 were without kidney damage, and 35 had stage 1-3 CKD. In all of the participants, SS-OCT and a routine biochemical workup were performed. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was estimated by the CKD Epidemiology Collaboration equation (eGFR). CKD was defined in agreement with the …

MIF rs755622 and IL6 rs1800795 Are Implied in Genetic Susceptibility to End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)

2022

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by an increased risk of kidney failure and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Aging and comorbidities as cardiovascular diseases, metabolic disorders, infectious diseases, or tumors, might increase the risk of dialysis. In addition, genetic susceptibility factors might modulate kidney damage evolution. We have analyzed, in a group of ESRD patients and matched controls, a set of SNPs of genes (Klotho rs577912, rs564481, rs9536314; FGF23 rs7955866; IGF1 rs35767; TNFA rs1800629; IL6 rs1800795; MIF rs755622, rs1007888) chosen in relation to their possible involvement with renal disease and concomitant pathologies.

The prognostic role of the cardio-ankle vascular index

2018

The well‐performed meta‐analysis of Matsushita et al represents an important contribution to the knowledge about the clinical meaning of arterial stiffness parameters, suggesting that CAVI is associated positively with a slightly increased risk of CV events, but not of total mortality. However, caution is needed in interpreting these findings, due to the limited number of prospective studies eligible for the meta‐analysis and the relatively low number of subjects included, mostly living in Japan or China. Therefore, additional studies, preferably with a prospective design and involving participants also from non‐Asian countries, are required to better define the prognostic role and the clin…

OBJECTIVE: Sound evidence indicates that aldosterone has a fundamental role in determining functional and structural changes in the heart. Moreover, it has been observed that high plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) is related to the development of congestive heart failure and to cardiovascular mortality. However, previous studies on the association between circulating aldosterone levels and left ventricular (LV) mass (LVM) and LV geometry, in subjects without primary aldosteronism yielded conflicting results. The aim of our study was to evaluate in patients with essential hypertension the relationships of PAC with LV mass and geometry, and to asses the influence of gender on these relat…

The changing landscape of thromboprophylaxis for atrial fibrillation: insights from the ISPAF-2 survey

2018

Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained cardiac dysrhythmia. It represents a major public health problem due to increased mortality risk, reduced quality of life, and increased health costs [1, 2]. The prevalence of nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF) continues to increase worldwide, largely affecting the elderly, but also occurring in younger patients as a result of structural heart disease, autonomic imbalance, genetic abnormality, or previous cardiac surgery [3]. The rise in prevalence of AF is largely due to the increasing age of the population. About 1–2% of the total population is affected by AF, but the prevalence of this condition rises to ≈ 10% in individuals aged &gt; 75…

BRUGADA PATTERN IN HEROIN ADDICTION: SYNDROME OR PHENOCOPY?

2020

Brugada phenocopies (BrPs) are clinical entities that show an electrocardiogram (ECG) pattern similar to what is observed in Brugada syndrome (BrS). They are caused by different clinical conditions. We describe a case of BrP in a man that developed acute kidney failure secondary to rhabdomyolysis, after heroin addiction. His initial ECG showed Brugada type 1 pattern resolved after hemodialytic treatment. A provocative test with ajmaline, which resulted negative, was performed to confirm the diagnosis. BrPs can mimic a true BrS and a fast recognition of these clinical and electrocardiographic findings may avoid diagnostic mistakes thus preventing unnecessary or inaccurate treatmen

Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy (LVH), detected either by electrocardiography (ECG) or echocardiography (ECHO), has long been recognized as a powerful predictor of serious cardiovascular (CV) sequelae. A very large and highly consistent body of evidence indicates that LVH is not only an adaptation to increased hemodynamic load in hypertension, but is also independently associated with an enhanced risk for myocardial infarction, cardiac sudden death, congestive heart failure, and stroke in the general population, as well as in patients with systemic hypertension, coronary heart disease, chronic kidney disease, and atrial fibrillation. Intriguingly, the cumulative incidence of cardiovascula…

Relation of oxidant stress with endothelial activation in hemodialysis.

2006

Introduction and Aims: Enhanced oxidative stress may be implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis in hemodialysed patients (HDs). We hypothesized that in hypertensive HDs oxidative stress should be elevated and associated to endothelial activation, and inflammation. Methods:We examined oxidative stress, as measured by 8-ISO-PGF2alpha, endothelial activation by measuring endothelin-1 (ET-1) and adhesion molecules ICAM-1 and VCAM-1, and the biomarker of acute-phase inflammation CRP. In 52 mild HDs and in 50 healthy controls (Cs) we analysed, in the interdialytic day, plasma levels of 8-ISO-PGF2alpha, ET-1, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1, and high sensitivity CRP. Results: The comparison between Cs…

RELAZIONE TRA ENDOTELINA-1 PLASMATICA E STIFFNESS AORTICA IN PAZIENTI IPERTESI CON MALATTIA RENALE CRONICA

2012

Vari studi hanno dimostrato come la stiffness arteriosa aumenti con il progressivo deterioramento della funzione renale. Una correlazione inversa è stata altresì dimostrata fra livelli plasmatici di endotelina-1 (ET-1) e filtrato glomerulare (GFR). Dati sperimentali hanno evidenziato che l’infusione di ET-1 è seguita da un incremento della stiffness arteriosa ed il trattamento con antagonisti del recettore ET-A dell’ET-1 in pazienti nefropatici ha comportato una riduzione della rigidità aortica, in parte indipendentemente dagli effetti sulla pressione arteriosa. Pochi dati esistono in letteratura sulle relazioni tra distensibilità aortica e concentrazioni plasmatiche di ET-1 in pazienti con…

CORRELAZIONE TRA ALDOSTERONE E PARATORMONE PLASMATICI NELL’IPERTENSIONE ARTERIOSA ESSENZIALE

2013

Studi sperimentali e clinici hanno indotto ad ipotizzare una interazione fisiopatologica tra aldosterone (PAC) e paratormone (PTH) nello sviluppo dell’ipertensione arteriosa e delle alterazioni cardiovascolari . Scopo di questo studio è stato di valutare il rapporto tra PAC e PTH nell’ipertensione essenziale (EH) e le eventuali interazioni con FGF23, proteina modulatrice della secrezione di PTH. In 105 H ed in 50 controlli sani sono stati analizzati i livelli plasmatici di PAC, PTH, FGF23 Vitamina D. L’analisi di correlazione multipla condotta considerando PAC come variabile dipendente ha mostrato una correlazione di PAC con FGF23 (β = 0.337; p = 0.0021) e con PTH (β = 0.241; p = 0.039) ind…
