New Evidence About Aortic Valve Stenosis and Cardiovascular Hemodynamics
AbstractAortic stenosis (AS) is the most common degenerative valvular disease in western word. In patients with severe AS, small changes in aortic valve area can lead to large changes in hemodynamics. The correct understanding of cardiac hemodynamics and its interaction with vascular function is of paramount importance for correct identification of severe AS and to plan effective strategies for its treatment. In the current review with highlight the importance of pressure recovery phenomenon and valvular arterial impedance as novel tools in the evaluation of patients with aortic stenosis.

Blood Pressure and Blood Glucose Control and Associated Factors Among Adults with Hypertension at Three Public Hospitals in Southern Ethiopia
ConclusionsThe level of BP and FBG control was low. Improving screening of hypertensive patients for diabetes; addressing obesity and mental health; strengthening healthy life style interventions and enhancing appropriate dose intensification of prescribed anti-hypertensives by responsible bodies are critical to improve BP and FBG control.

Hypertension and Dyslipidemia Combined Therapeutic Approaches
AbstractTreating blood pressure (BP) alone may provide only limited benefits while it is recommendable to manage the total cardiovascular risk. To date, several studies have shown that concomitant treatment of hypertension and dyslipidemia with non-pharmacological approaches and/or metabolically neutral antihypertensive drugs and statins produce a significantly greater reduction of the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Thus, in this review article, we summarize the available evidence regarding non-pharmacological and pharmacological approaches with a favourable effect on both BP and lipids.

Efficacy of Single-Pill, Triple Antihypertensive Therapy in Patients with Uncontrolled Hypertension: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Conclusionperindopril/indapamide/amlodipine is effective in reducing systolic and diastolic blood pressures by 24 and 12 mmHg respectively. Over 24 h, the combination reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressures by 14 and 7 mmHg respectively. (Source: High Blood Pressure and Cardiovascular Prevention)

Association of Morning Surge and Postexercise Heart Rate and Blood Pressure Recovery
ConclusionWe found an independent association between RSBP and MS. Increased RSBP may be associated with target organ damage and cardiovascular events such as MS. (Source: High Blood Pressure and Cardiovascular Prevention)

“Medical Assistance in Contextual Awareness” (AMICO): A Project for a Better Quality of Care for Patients in Cardiac Rehabilitation Unit
AbstractThe “Medical Assistance in Contextual Awareness” (AMICO) project proposes an infrastructure, called an “instrumented environment”, consisting of the home environment and the person, both of which are suitably equipped with sensors, a telemedicine service platform (in the Internet of Things) and a Robot who acts as a mediator/master between the person, the surrounding environment and the external environment. This infrastructure, oriented to the citizen's well-being, can offer both services oriented to the person in his home environment, monitoring their behavior and psycho-physical state, and telemedicine s...

Hypertension and COVID-19: Current Evidence and Perspectives
AbstractCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), represents a real challenge for health-care systems worldwide. Male sex, older age and the coexistence of chronic comorbidities have been described as the most relevant conditions associated with a worse prognosis. Early reports suggested that hypertension might represent a risk factor for susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection, a more severe course of COVID-19 and increased COVID-19-related deaths. Nevertheless, the independent role of hypertension remains under debate, since hypertension is often ...

DiffErenCes in AntihypertenSive Drug Blood Levels in Patients with HypertensiON (DECISION): Protocol for a Prospective Observational Study Comparing Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics Between Young and Elderly Patients
AbstractAdequate controlled blood pressure decreases the risk of cardiovascular events. However, the elderly are more vulnerable and thereby more prone to side effects of antihypertensive drugs. A lack of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) studies in older patients makes specific and tailored advices towards antihypertensive drug therapy difficult. The aim of our study, DiffErenCes In antihypertenSive drug levels In patients with hypertensiON (DECISION), is to fill in this PK/PD knowledge gap and move towards precision dosing. DECISION is a prospective observational PK/PD study set up to determine the difference i...
