Epidemiological Impact and Clinical Consequences of Masked Hypertension: A Narrative Review
AbstractMasked hypertension (MHT) is a clinical condition characterized by normal blood pressure (BP) levels during clinical consultation and above normal out-of-office BP values. MHT is associated to an increased risk of developing hypertension-mediated organ damage (HMOD) and major cardiovascular (CV) outcomes, such as myocardial infarction, stroke, and hospitalizations due to CV causes, as well as to metabolic abnormalities and diabetes, thus further promoting the development and progression of atherosclerotic disease. Previous studies showed contrasting data on prevalence and clinical impact of MHT, due to not uniform ...

Clinical Use of Impedance Cardiography for Hemodynamic Assessment of Early Cardiovascular Disease and Management of Hypertension
This article is for clinicians considering impedance cardiography (ICG) for secondary prevention. ICG is an inexpensive noninvasive technology that can be used to assess hemodynamic function of the central cardiovascular system. Diverse abnormalities of ventricular function, systolic and diastolic, can be detected by ICG. Additional data pertaining to decompensation can be obtained by taking ICG readings with the patient performing postural change, from upright to supine, to quantify the compensatory response. Vascular load consists of resistive and pulsatile loads. Systemic vascular resistance can provide a measure of res...

Renin-Angiotensin System Inhibition in Cardiovascular Patients at the Time of COVID19: Much Ado for Nothing? A Statement of Activity from the Directors of the Board and the Scientific Directors of the Italian Society of Hypertension
AbstractCardiovascular diseases, in particular hypertension, as well as the cardiovascular treatment with Renin –Angiotensin System inhibitors such as Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARBs), are claimed once again as mechanisms of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) during the COVID-19 outbreak due to Cov-2 epidemics. In vitro studies are available to su pport the eventual role of ACE inhibitors and ARBs in both the promotion and antagonism of the disease. The available literature, indeed, presents contrasting results, all concentrated in experimental models. Evidence...

Elevated Blood Pressure and Associations with Sodium Intake Among Multiethnic Youth in Edmonton, Canada: Findings from WHY ACT NOW
ConclusionsThe prevalence of HT varied by ethnicity. High dietary sodium intake was of concern. There is a need for culturally-tailored, population-based interventions to reduce sodium intake. (Source: High Blood Pressure and Cardiovascular Prevention)

Prevalence of Subclinical Carotid Atherosclerosis and Role of Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Older Adults: Atherosclerosis and Aging are Not Synonyms
ConclusionHypertension and dyslipidemia are the major determinant of atherosclerosis regardless of age in our study. Our findings support the concept that aging is not necessarily synonymous with atherosclerosis and highlight the key role played by superimposed CV risk factors on arterial ‘‘bad aging’’.

Functional Improvement After Outpatient Cardiac Rehabilitation in Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients is Not Related to Improvement in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction
ConclusionAlthough it could be expected that an increase in LVEF is related to the functional improvement after CR, no significant correlation was found in our population. (Source: High Blood Pressure and Cardiovascular Prevention)

Factors Affecting Trough Plasma Dabigatran Concentrations in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation and Chronic Kidney Disease
ConclusionPatients on dabigatran treatment showed highly variable trough plasma concentrations. C/D values were significantly higher in patients with CKD 3B stage and were influenced by elder age and comorbidities. (Source: High Blood Pressure and Cardiovascular Prevention)

Central Blood Pressure Waves Assessment: A Validation Study of Non-invasive Aortic Pressure Measurement in Human Beings
ConclusionsIn this research, a high correlation between invasive central blood pressure values and those measured with the Mobil-O-Graph device was found in males, females and the whole population. However, a sub estimation of Mobil-O-Graph central blood pressure values was observed. (Source: High Blood Pressure and Cardiovascular Prevention)
