24-hour Ambulatory BP Monitoring and Home BP Measurements in Resistant Hypertension
2013
Out-of-office BP measurements, ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM), and self-BP measurement play an important role in the evaluation of resistant hypertension. In fact 24 h ABPM has been considered mandatory at the time to evaluate resistant hypertension from the beginning of clinical use. Furthermore, clinical research has expanded the potential role of out-of-office measurements not only to the initial evaluation of resistant hypertension but also to refine cardiovascular and renal risk stratification and for a better follow-up. The widespread use of self-BP measurement at home introduced a new tool to properly assess out-of-office BP, and it has also been recommended in these patients althou…
Efficacy of combination therapy with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor and calcium channel blocker in hypertension.
2012
There are few clinical trials that provide evidence to support the hypothesis that combined therapies offer a favorable risk-benefit ratio in the reduction of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Combined therapies containing an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) with a calcium channel blocker (CCB) is one of the recommended combinations in the reappraisal of the European Society of Hypertension.The authors have performed a systematic review of the available clinical evidence on the use of combined therapies containing an ACEI with a CCB versus other combinations in the management of arterial hypertension (HT) and in the reduction of cardiovascular morbidity/mortality, accord…

Hypertension is strongly associated with false-positive bicycle exercise stress echocardiography testing results
2016
Exercise echocardiography is a reliable routine test in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease. However, in ∼15% of all patients, stress echocardiography leads to false-positive stress echocardiography results. We aimed to investigate the impact of hypertension on stress echocardiographic results.We performed a retrospective study of patients with suspected or known stable coronary artery disease who underwent a bicycle exercise stress echocardiography. Patients with false-positive stress results were compared with those with appropriate results.126 patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease were included in this retrospective study. 23 patients showed false-…

May Measurement Month 2019 : an analysis of blood pressure screening results from Poland
2021
Abstract May Measurement Month 2019 is the third edition of a global initiative organized by the International Society of Hypertension aimed at raising awareness of hypertension and the need for blood pressure (BP) screening. We present data analysis from Poland. To evaluate the potential of opportunistic BP measurements as a tool for cardiovascular disease prevention programmes. To collect new country data for further annual comparisons. An opportunistic cross-sectional survey of volunteers aged ≥18 was carried out in 201 sites in May 2019. BP was measured in 7072 subjects (mean age: 54 ± 15 years; 62.3% females). After multiple imputation, the age- and sex-standardized systolic BP (SBP) a…
May Measurement Month 2018 : an analysis of blood pressure screening campaign results from Poland
2020
Abstract Hypertension remains the most important cardiovascular risk factor in Poland. May Measurement Month is a global initiative organized by the International Society of Hypertension aimed at raising awareness of hypertension and the need for blood pressure (BP) screening and demonstrating the potential of the opportunistic BP measurements. An opportunistic cross-sectional survey of volunteers aged ≥18 was carried out in 146 sites in May 2018. Blood pressure was measured in 6450 subjects (mean age: 41 ± 15 years; 59% females). After multiple imputation, the age and sex standardized systolic and diastolic BP was 126.7/78.4 mmHg in the whole analysed group, 132.8/81.3 mmHg in subjects tak…
Takayasu's disease effects on the kidneys: current perspectives.
2018
Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a chronic vasculitis disease of unknown etiology. Clinically significant renal disease is relatively common, and renovascular hypertension is the major renal problem. The assessment of TA activity is usually challenging because vascular inflammation may progress to fixed vascular injury without findings of active disease. Until now, the best therapeutic options have not been identified. This review highlights the current perspectives of renal involvement in TA.
Erfassung hämodynamischer Parameter bei Patienten mit chronischer thromboembolischer pulmonaler Hypertonie mittels MRT vor und nach Thrombendarteriek…
2003
Purpose: To evaluate the potential of MRI to grade cardiac impairment and pulmonary hypertension in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) in comparison with invasive pressure measurements before and after surgery. Materials and Methods: We examined 35 patients with CTEPH before and after pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE). For assessment of hemodynamics, velocity-encoded segmented GE-sequences (pulmonary arteries and ascending aorta) and segmented cine GE-sequences along the short axis of the heart were performed. The analysis comprised calculation of ejection fractions, peak velocities, mean pulmonary arterial flow and vessel diameter. 10 volunteers served …
