European Society of Hypertension practice guidelines for ambulatory blood pressure monitoring
2014
Given the increasing use of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in both clinical practice and hypertension research, a group of scientists, participating in the European Society of Hypertension Working Group on blood pressure monitoring and cardiovascular variability, in year 2013 published a comprehensive position paper dealing with all aspects of the technique, based on the available scientific evidence for ABPM. The present work represents an updated schematic summary of the most important aspects related to the use of ABPM in daily practice, and is aimed at providing recommendations for proper use of this technique in a clinical setting by both specialists and practicing physici…

"\"La tomografia computerizzata del cuore (CCT) è diventata uno strumento efficace in differenti contesti clinici. Lo sviluppo della tecnologia ha portato ad una progressiva espansione delle indicazioni con una concomitante riduzione della dose di radiazioni necessaria per l’esecuzione dell’indagine. Ancora oggi sono pochi i documenti delle maggiori società scientifiche internazionali che si esprimono sulle effettive modalità di utilizzo e sulle indicazioni cliniche della CCT; in particolare mancano delle linee guida complete. Questo documento rispecchia la visione del gruppo di lavoro della Sezione di Cardio-Radiologia della Società Italiana di Radiologia Medica in merito alle indicazioni …
Indicaciones de los inhibidores de PCSK9 en la práctica clínica. Recomendaciones de la Sociedad Española de Arteriosclerosis (SEA), 2019
2019
Resumen Un grupo de expertos convocado por la Sociedad Espanola de Arteriosclerosis (SEA) se ha encargado de actualizar el documento de la SEA sobre las indicaciones de los inhibidores de PCSK9 (iPCSK9) en la practica clinica publicadas en 2016. Esta actualizacion es necesaria porque en el periodo transcurrido hasta la actualidad se han publicado los resultados de los ensayos clinicos realizados a gran escala con iPCSK9 que demuestran que, ademas de su alta potencia para disminuir el colesterol aterogenico, disminuyen el riesgo de presentar episodios de enfermedad cardiovascular aterosclerotica en los pacientes con enfermedad tanto estable como reciente, y con un alto grado de seguridad. La…
European society of hypertension position paper on ambulatory blood pressure monitoring
2013
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is being used increasingly in both clinical practice and hypertension research. Although there are many guidelines that emphasize the indications for ABPM, there is no comprehensive guideline dealing with all aspects of the technique. It was agreed at a consensus meeting on ABPM in Milan in 2011 that the 34 attendees should prepare a comprehensive position paper on the scientific evidence for ABPM.This position paper considers the historical background, the advantages and limitations of ABPM, the threshold levels for practice, and the cost-effectiveness of the technique. It examines the need for selecting an appropriate device, the accuracy of dev…
