A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of the Clinical and Epidemiological Characteristics of Patients with Hypertensive Emergencies: Implication for Risk Stratification
ConclusionsSystolic and diastolic BP are marginally higher in patients with HTNE. Given that these differences are not clinically significant, other epidemiological and medical characteristics (older age, male sex, cardiometabolic comorbidities) as well as patient ’s presentation should be considered to differentiate between HTNU and HTNE.

Subclinical HMOD in Hypertension: Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction
AbstractArterial hypertension represents an important risk factor for the development of cardiac, vascular and renal events, predisposing to heart failure, acute coronary syndromes, peripheral artery disease, stroke, and chronic renal disease. Arterial hypertension leads to the development of subclinical hypertension mediated organ damage (HMOD) which has prognostic relevance and may influence the choice of treatment options. Alterations of cardiac structure and function represent the more widely assessed form of HMOD. This manuscript will focus on the diagnostic opportunities, prognostic significance and treatment of dias...

Ventricular-Arterial Uncoupling and Hypertension Mediated Diastolic Dysfunction
ConclusionsStroke volume and stroke work were significantly increased while systolic stress and peripheral resistance index were significantly reduced in patients with worst VAC. Ventricular-arterial uncoupling is mostly caused by an increase in Ees rather than by an elevation of Ea. LVH or DD are more frequent in the worst cases of ventricular-arterial uncoupling.

Home Blood Pressure and Telemedicine: A Modern Approach for Managing Hypertension During and After COVID-19 Pandemic
AbstractHypertension is the most common cardiovascular risk factor for acute cardiovascular outcomes, including acute coronary disease, stroke, chronic kidney disease and congestive heart failure. Despite the fact that it represents the most prevalent risk factor in the general population, mostly in elderly individuals, its awareness is still relatively low, being about one third of patients living with undiagnosed hypertension and high risk of experiencing acute cardiovascular events. In addition, though recent improvement in pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapeutic options, hypertension is largely uncontrolled...

Effects of Colchicine on Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease: A Systematic Review and One-Stage and Two-Stage Meta-Analysis of Randomized-Controlled Trials
ConclusionGiven the significant benefits of colchicine demonstrated on IPD, and its consistent benefits when analyzed using aggregate data meta-analysis, we propose that colchicine may be considered as an additional pharmacological adjunct to the first line therapy for patients with coronary artery disease.

Novel Indices of Home Blood Pressure Variability and Hypertension-Mediated Organ Damage in Treated Hypertensive Patients
ConclusionCoV and MMD showed the greatest association with HMOD in treated hypertensives. Older age, history of stroke and lower body mass index were easy-to-detect predictors.

The role of Immunity in Fabry Disease and Hypertension: A Review of a Novel Common Pathway
AbstractFabry disease is a progressive, X-linked inherited lysosomal storage disorder where accumulation of glycosphingolipids increases the risk for early cardiovascular complications, including heart failure, stroke, and end stage renal disease. Besides disease-specific therapy, blood pressure (BP) control is of central importance in Fabry disease to reduce disease progression and improve prognosis. Both Fabry disease and hypertension are characterized by the activation of the innate component of the immune system, with Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) as a common trigger to the inflammatory cascade. The renin-angiotensin sys...

Assessing Atrial Fibrillation Substrates by P Wave Analysis: A Comprehensive Review
AbstractAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia. Pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic rhythm control strategies impact on AF-related symptoms, while leaving largely unaffected the risk of stroke. Moreover, up to 20% of AF patients are asymptomatic during paroxysmal relapses of arrhythmia, thus underlying the need for early markers to identify at-risk patients and prevent cerebrovascular accidents. Indeed, non-invasive assessment of pre-clinical substrate changes that predispose to AF could provide early identification of at-risk patients and allow for tailored care paths. ECG-derived P wave analysis i...

Is Arterial Stiffness a Determinant of Hypotension?
ConclusionsHypotension is a quite common phenomenon in older subjects. Its prevention requires a more accurate management of hypertension aimed at better identifying which older subjects in whom intensive BP control may be harmful and those who may benefit from it.

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 ...

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.

Hyperuricemia and Risk of Cardiovascular Outcomes: The Experience of the URRAH (Uric Acid Right for Heart Health) Project
AbstractThe latest European Guidelines of Arterial Hypertension have officially introduced uric acid evaluation among the cardiovascular risk factors that should be evaluated in order to stratify patient ’s risk. In fact, it has been extensively evaluated and demonstrated to be an independent predictor not only of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, but also of myocardial infraction, stroke and heart failure. Despite the large number of studies on this topic, an important open question that st ill need to be answered is the identification of a cardiovascular uric acid cut-off value. The actual hyperuricemia cut-off (...
