Spanish Society of Hypertension position statement on the 2017 ACC/AHA hypertension guidelines
2018
The American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the American Heart Association (AHA) have recently published their guidelines for the prevention, detection, evaluation, and management of hypertension in adults. The most controversial issue is the classification threshold at 130/80 mmHg, which will allow a large number of patients to be diagnosed as hypertensive who were previously considered normotensive. Blood pressure (BP) is considered normal (<120 mmHg systolic and <80 mmHg diastolic), elevated (120-129 and <80 mmHg), stage 1 (130-139 or 80-89 mmHg), and stage 2 (≥140 or ≥90 mmHg). Out-of-office BP measurements are recommended to confirm the diagnosis of hypertension and for titra…
Papel del sistema IL-11 en la Hipertensión Pulmonar Arterial y en la Hipertensión Pulmonar asociada a Enfermedades Pulmonares Crónicas
2021
Introducción La hipertensión arterial pulmonar idiopática (HAP) (clase 1) y la hipertensión pulmonar (HP) asociada a la fibrosis pulmonar idiopática (FPI) (grupo 3) son enfermedades vasculares graves con una mortalidad elevada. La evidencia reciente indica que el sistema IL-11 podría estar involucrado en HAP y HP-FPI ya que hallazgos previos sugieren que la IL-11 tiene el potencial de inducir proliferación celular, migración, inflamación y fibrosis, procesos compartidos en la HP. Por tanto, el objetivo de la presente tesis es evaluar el papel del sistema IL-11 en la HP-FPI y en la HPA idiopática. Métodos La expresión de IL-11 e IL-11Ra fueron analizados mediante ELISA e inmunohistoquímica e…
Comparison of body mass index (BMI) with the CUN-BAE body adiposity estimator in the prediction of hypertension and type 2 diabetes
2016
BACKGROUND: Obesity is a world-wide epidemic whose prevalence is underestimated by BMI measurements, but CUN-BAE (Clínica Universidad de Navarra - Body Adiposity Estimator) estimates the percentage of body fat (BF) while incorporating information on sex and age, thus giving a better match. Our aim is to compare the BMI and CUN-BAE in determining the population attributable fraction (AFp) for obesity as a cause of chronic diseases. METHODS: We calculated the Pearson correlation coefficient between BMI and CUN-BAE, the Kappa index and the internal validity of the BMI. The risks of arterial hypertension (AHT) and diabetes mellitus (DM) and the AFp for obesity were assessed using both the BMI a…
Automatic or manual arterial path for the ankle-brachial differences pulse wave velocity
2018
Este artículo se encuentra disponible en la página web de la revista en la siguiente URL: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0206434 An automated method for measuring arterial path length with devices that determine pulse wave velocity (PWV) in peripheral arteries is frequently applied. We aimed to compare arterial path length measurements based on mathematical height-based formulas with those measured manually and to assess whether the ankle-brachial difference (abD-PWV) measured with the VOPITB device is comparable to that obtained by manual measurements. In 245 patients, a metric measuring tape was used to determine the arterial path length from the suprast…
Effect of the Mediterranean diet on blood pressure in the PREDIMED trial: Results from a randomized controlled trial
2013
[Background]: Hypertension can be prevented by adopting healthy dietary patterns. Our aim was to assess the 4-year effect on blood pressure (BP) control of a randomized feeding trial promoting the traditional Mediterranean dietary pattern.
2013 ESH/ESC Guidelines for the management of arterial hypertension
2013
Because of new evidence on several diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of hypertension, the present guidelines differ in many respects from the previous ones. Some of the most important differences are listed below: 1. Epidemiological data on hypertension and BP control in Europe. 2. Strengthening of the prognostic value of home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) and of its role for diagnosis and management of hypertension, next to ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). 3. Update of the prognostic significance of night-time BP, white-coat hypertension and masked hypertension. 4. Re-emphasis on integration of BP, cardiovascular (CV) risk factors, asymptomatic organ damage (OD) and clinica…
Blood pressure values and depression in hypertensive individuals at high cardiovascular risk
2014
Background: Hypertension and depression are both important risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Nevertheless, the association of blood pressure on and depression has not been completely established. This study aims to analyze whether depression may influence the control of blood pressure in hypertensive individuals at high cardiovascular risk. Methods: Cross-sectional study, embedded within the PREDIMED clinical trial, of 5954 hypertensive patients with high cardiovascular risk factor profiles. The relationship between blood pressure control and depression was analyzed. A multivariate analysis (logistic and log-linear regression), adjusting for potential confounders (socio-demographic …
Impact of a Web-based exercise and nutritional education intervention in patients who are obese with hypertension : randomized wait-list controlled t…
2020
Background Internet-based interventions are a promising strategy for promoting healthy lifestyle behaviors. These have a tremendous potential for delivering electronic health interventions in scalable and cost-effective ways. There is strong evidence that the use of these programs can lead to weight loss and can lower patients’ average blood pressure (BP) levels. So far, few studies have investigated the effects of internet-based programs on patients who are obese with hypertension (HTN). Objective The aim of this study is to investigate the short- and long-term efficacy, in terms of body composition and BP parameters, of a self-administered internet-based intervention involving different …
Perfil de micro ARNs exosomales asociados a daño glomerular en pacientes hipertensos con microalbuminuria
2018
Introducción: La hipertensión arterial esencial (HTA) es la enfermedad crónica con mayor prevalencia a nivel mundial y constituye uno de los factores de riesgo cardiovascular primario. Pese al control de la presión arterial con antihipertensivos, la aparición de daño renal en la HTA es frecuente y se mide clínicamente como un aumento en la excreción urinaria de albúmina (EUA). Este daño incipiente se define como microalbuminuria, puede progresar a macroalbuminuria y proteinuria durante el curso de la enfermedad y se utiliza como marcador de riesgo cardiovascular y daño orgánico en la hipertensión. Recientemente, las vesículas extracelulares (VE) han sido propuestas como nuevos mediadores de…
Práctica 2. Valoración clínico-funcional en afecciones cardíacas
2011
La exploración clínico-funcional aporta las claves para el diagnóstico de las afecciones cardíacas. Si bien la Anamnesis es el procedimiento diagnóstico primario, se precisan exploraciones complementarias para realizar un correcto diagnóstico diferencial. En este sentido, son necesarios los tres elementos de la exploración física cardiovascular (inspección, palpación y auscultación) y pruebas complementarias como: el registro electrocardiográfico, la toma de la tensión arterial, la radiografía de tórax, el estudio ecocardiográfico, el cateterismo cardíaco, etc. L’exploració clínico-funcional aporta les claus per al diagnòstic de les afeccions cardíaques. A més de l’Anamnesi o procediment di…
