Repeatability and reproducibility of pulse wave velocity in relation to hemodynamics and sodium excretion in stable patients with hypertension
This study examined the repeatability and reproducibility of PWV, and whether hemodynamics and sodium excretion impact on PWV in hypertensive patients remaining on stable medication. Methods: Office blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), carotid--femoral PWV and central BP (SphygmoCor device), impedance cardiography (HOTMAN device) and 24-h urinary sodium excretion (UNa) were measured at baseline and after 4 weeks in 74 hypertensive patients (age 56.8 ± 11.5 years, mean ± SD). Two PWV measurements were performed at each visit. Results: Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and 95% confidence interval (95%...

Blood pressure variability and microvascular dysfunction: the Maastricht Study
Conclusion: Greater systolic and diastolic BPV was associated with higher albuminuria, but not with CSVD features, flicker light-induced retinal arteriolar and venular dilation response, heat-induced skin hyperemia and plasma biomarkers of MVD. This suggests that the microvasculature of the kidneys is most vulnerable to the detrimental effects of greater BPV.

Functional health and white matter hyperintensities as effect modifiers of blood pressure-lowering on cognitive function and vascular events in older Secondary Prevention of Small Subcortical Strokes trial participants
Objective: To determine whether cerebral small vessel disease or disability modify the effect of SBP treatment on cognitive and vascular outcomes in older patients with recent lacunar stroke. Methods: Participants aged at least 65 years of the Secondary Prevention of Small Subcortical Strokes Trial were randomized to a higher (130–149 mmHg) or lower (

Ambulatory blood pressure variability and risk of cardiovascular events, all-cause mortality, and progression of kidney disease
Conclusion: Greater ambulatory SBP variabilities were associated with increased risks for nonfatal cardiovascular diseases, all-cause mortality, and rapid kidney function decline in patients with CKD.

Effects of dapagliflozin and gliclazide on the cardiorenal axis in people with type 2 diabetes
Conclusion: Dapagliflozin seemingly influences systemic and renal hemodynamics independently and beyond glucose lowering in people with type 2 diabetes. This clinical trial was registered at https://clinicalTrials.gov (ID: NCT02682563).

New progress on the study of aortic stiffness in age-related hypertension
Hypertension is a worldwide known cause of morbidity and mortality in the elderly and is a major risk factor for cardiovascular complications such as stroke, myocardial infarction, renal complications and heart failure. Although the mechanisms of hypertension remain largely unknown, a recent new concept is that aortic stiffening is a cause of hypertension in middle-aged and older individuals, which highlighted the importance of aortic stiffening in the development of age-related hypertension. Understanding the pathogenesis of aortic stiffness therefore became one of the important approaches to preventing and controlling hy...

Positive relationship of hypertensive retinopathy with carotid intima--media thickness in hypertensive patients
Objectives: We aimed to explore the relationship of hypertensive retinopathy with carotid intima--media thickness (CIMT), and to examine the possible effect modifiers in Chinese adults with hypertension. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 12 342 hypertensive patients with complete exit site visit data from the China Stroke Primary Prevention Trial. CIMT was measured by carotid ultrasonography. Hypertensive retinopathy was diagnosed according to the Keith--Wagener--Barker classification. Results: The mean (SD) CIMT among study participants was 739.9 (111.4) μm. Compared with patients with grade 1 hy...

Influence of cardiovascular risk factors on arterial hypertension and mild cognitive impairment in 4602 participants of the ELITE study
Background: In ELITE (Ernährung, Lebensstil und individuelle Information zur Verhinderung von Herzinfarkt, Schlaganfall und Demenz; german for: Nutrition, Lifestyle and Individual Information for the Prevention of Heart Attack, Stroke and Dementia) data on cardiovascular risk factors, cognitive function and quality of life are prospectively collected, which will be improved through targeted individual information. The aim is to improve the health of the participants and identify the reasons for the lack of implementation. Methods: Risk factors of 4602 participants were linked to (controlled) hypertension and mi...

Creatinine increase following initiation of antihypertensives is associated with cardiovascular risk: a nationwide cohort study
Conclusion: In primary care, patients initiating first-line antihypertensive treatment, an increase in plasma creatinine above 30% was associated with increased absolute 6-month risk of cardiovascular event.

Contribution of systemic blood flow to untreated or inadequately controlled systolic--diastolic or isolated systolic hypertension in a community sample of African ancestry
Aims: Age-related increases in systemic blood flow [stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO), and aortic flow (Q)] contribute substantially to untreated or inadequately controlled (uncontrolled) blood pressure (BP) in Africa. We aimed to identify the haemodynamic determinants of uncontrolled systolic--diastolic (Syst--diast HT) versus uncontrolled isolated systolic (ISH) or diastolic (IDH) hypertension. Methods: Using central arterial pressure and aortic outflow tract velocity and diameter measurements (echocardiography), the haemodynamic correlates of BP were determined in 725 community participants of African a...

The association between indices of blood pressure waveforms (PTC1 and PTC2) and incident heart failure
Conclusion: The PTC2 measure of the radial artery pulse waveform may represent a novel phenotype related to heart failure, especially heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.

Relations of aortic stiffness with arterial damage beyond brachial pressure are both dependent and independent of central arterial pulsatile load
Aim: We aimed to determine whether the impact of aortic stiffness on atherosclerotic or small vessel end organ damage beyond brachial blood pressure depends in-part on stiffness-induced increases in central arterial pressures produced by an enhanced resistance to flow (characteristic impedance, Zc). Methods: We studied 1021 participants, 287 with stroke or critical limb ischaemia, and 734 from a community sample with atherosclerotic or small vessel end organ measures. Central arterial haemodynamics were determined from arterial pressure (SphygmoCor) and velocity and diameter assessments in the outflow tract (ech...

The association between self-perceived walking pace with the incidence of hypertension: the ‘Seguimiento Universidad de Navarra’ cohort
Conclusion: Our results support that an increase in walking pace, even slightly, is inversely associated with the development of hypertension, independent of total time spent walking and other factors associated with hypertension.

Low-blood pressure phenotype underpins the tendency to reflex syncope
Conclusion: The patients prone to reflex syncope demonstrate a different resting cardiovascular haemodynamic profile as compared with a general population, characterized by lower SBP and PP, reflecting reduced venous return and lower stroke volume, and a higher HR and DBP, suggesting the activation of compensatory mechanisms. Our data contribute to a better understanding why some individuals with similar demographic characteristics develop reflex syncope and others do not. Video abstract: http://links.lww.com/HJH/B580.
