Prevalence and Associated Risk Factors of Hypertension for the Middle-Aged Population (30 –59 Years) in Iran: A National Cross-Sectional Study
ConclusionsHypertension has a relatively high prevalence in the middle-aged Iranian population. According to our results, age, living in urban regions, being illiterate, overweight and obesity are independent risk factors for HBP. It seems that the administration of prevention programs in general population especially in younger ages based on existing risk factors is a necessity.

Evaluation of Intra-Renal Stiffness in Patients with Primary Aldosteronism
Conclusionparameters obtained through the intra-renal eco-color Doppler examination, easly performed and non-invasive, can be useful in the early-stage identification of subclinical microvascular alterations, especially in PA, condition characterized by increased risk of cardio-vascular remodelling and metabolic alterations.

Sleep Apnea and Hypertension
AbstractObstructive sleep apnea is a frequent finding in clinical practice especially with the obesity epidemic and the growing awareness of sleep-disordered breathing as a potential and treatable risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. It frequently coexists undiagnosed activating pathophysiological mechanisms known to participate in development and progression of cardiovascular diseases and resistance to therapeutical strategies. The sympathetic activation and the baroreflex and chemoreflex impairment appear to be the main pathophysiological factors that activating several mechanisms elicit cardiac and vascular damage. ...

The Natriuretic Peptides for Hypertension Treatment
AbstractHypertension is a common pathological condition predisposing to a higher occurrence of cardiovascular diseases and events. Unfortunately, treatment of hypertension is still suboptimal worldwide. More efforts are needed to implement the availability of anti-hypertensive drugs. The family of natriuretic peptides, including atrial and brain natriuretic peptides (ANP and BNP), play a key role on blood pressure regulation through the natriuretic, diuretic and vasorelaxant effects. A large number of experimental and human studies, ranging from pathophysiological to genetic investigations, supported ANP as the most releva...

Exercise Training: The Holistic Approach in Cardiovascular Prevention
AbstractNowadays, there are robust clinical and pathophysiological evidence supporting the beneficial effects of physical activity on cardiovascular (CV) system. Thus, the physical activity is considered a key strategy for CV prevention. In fact, exercise training exerts favourable effects on all risk factors for CV diseases (i.e. essential hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, obesity, metabolic syndrome, etc …). In addition, all training modalities such as the aerobic (continuous walking, jogging, cycling, etc.) or resistance exercise (weights), as well as the leisure-time physical activity (rec...

Possible Advantages Deriving from Patiromer Use in Hypertensive Patients Made Hyperkalemic by Renin –Angiotensin–Aldosterone Blocking Agents
AbstractHyperkalemia is an elevated level of serum potassium (K+) and does represent a life-threatening condition. In clinical practice, hyperkalemia mainly derives from an impaired renal K+ excretion which, in turn, is usually caused by either acute or chronic renal failure. In  concordance with this, hyperkalemia is very common in several chronic conditions, such as kidney disease, diabetes mellitus, heart failure, hypertension, and coronary heart disease. In all of these conditions the use of Renin–Angiotensin–Aldosterone System inhibitors (RAASIs), such as angioten sin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angi...

Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists and Cardioprotective Benefit in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Without Baseline Metformin: A Systematic Review and Update Meta-analysis
ConclusionsIn this meta-analysis, GLP-1RAs reduced the incidence of MACE in patients with type 2 diabetes without metformin at baseline, without significant reduction in all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality. These results support the fact that when a GLP-1RAs is administered, the benefit on cardiovascular outcomes is independent of the use of metformin.

The Burden of Cardio-Cerebrovascular Risk Factors: Differences Between Individual Risk and Population Risk
ConclusionThe burden of risk factors on MACE changes substantially according to whether it is calculated in the single patient or in the population. It is crucial for physicians to take these differences into account when applying their own intervention to reduce CCV events. (Source: High Blood Pressure and Cardiovascular Prevention)
