Committee Opinion No. 692: Emergent Therapy for Acute-Onset, Severe Hypertension During Pregnancy and the Postpartum Period.
Authors: Abstract Acute-onset, severe systolic hypertension; severe diastolic hypertension; or both can occur during the prenatal, intrapartum, or postpartum periods. Pregnant women or women in the postpartum period with acute-onset, severe systolic hypertension; severe diastolic hypertension; or both require urgent antihypertensive therapy. Introducing standardized, evidence-based clinical guidelines for the management of patients with preeclampsia and eclampsia has been demonstrated to reduce the incidence of adverse maternal outcomes. Individuals and institutions should have mechanisms in place to initiate the...

Update about atrial fibrillation genetics
Purpose of review: Atrial fibrillation is an important cause of morbidity in the aging population. The mechanisms responsible for the triggering and maintenance of the chaotic atrial rhythm are still poorly understood. In this review, we will focus on the genetic aspects of atrial fibrillation, to understand causality, with special emphasis on recent studies published in the field. Recent findings: Diseases such as hypertension, valvular heart disease, and heart failure may induce atrial fibrillation, which increases the risk of stroke and sudden cardiac death. Clinical studies published in these last two decades have pro...

The risk of lower gastrointestinal bleeding in low ‐dose aspirin users
ConclusionsThe risk of LGIB was higher in low‐dose aspirin users than in aspirin nonusers in this nationwide cohort. Low‐dose aspirin, NSAIDs, steroids, SSRIs, PPIs and H2RAs were independent risk factors for LGIB.

Management of hypertension in 2017: targets and therapies
Purpose of review: Approximately one-fourth of the adult population is diagnosed with hypertension, which has been associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality including cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, heart failure and stroke. Early detection and treatment is key and can lead to a significant reduction in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Recent findings: In this review, we discuss the management and treatment strategies in patients with hypertension in the current era. Blood pressure (BP) targets will be reviewed in accordance with the recent literature and current guidelines. Ther...

Triple Combination Therapies Based on Olmesartan: A Personalized Therapeutic Approach to Improve Blood Pressure Control
AbstractRecent epidemiological surveys have demonstrated that effective and sustained blood pressure (BP) control is achieved in a relatively small proportion of treated hypertensive patients. Indeed, treatment of hypertension represents a key strategy for preventing coronary artery disease, stroke, congestive heart failure and cardiovascular death. Several interventions have been proposed by international guidelines for ameliorating hypertension management and control, mostly including integrated and multi-dimensional pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies. In particular, numerous evidence demonstrated that a ...

Co-morbidity and clinically significant interactions between antiepileptic drugs and other drugs in elderly patients with newly diagnosed epilepsy
Conclusions Elderly patients with newly diagnosed epilepsy are at high risk of clinically relevant pharmacokinetic interactions with other drugs, especially if exposed to carbamazepine, but these interactions can be controlled via rational drug choices and with prediction of the possible drug-to-drug interactions. Patients on dihydropyridine calcium-channel blockers, statins, warfarin, and risperidone face the highest risk of interactions.

Comparison of sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper and iron concentrations of elements in 24-h urine and spot urine in hypertensive patients with healthy renal function
Conclusions Spot urine can replace 24-h urine for estimating some of the elements in hypertensive patients with normal renal function.

Novel endogenous negative modulators of platelet function as potential anti-thrombotic targets.
Authors: Li YJ, Zhu HX, Zhang D, Li HC, Ma P, Huang LY Abstract Platelets are megakaryocyte-derived nuclear-free fragments that participate in cardiovascular diseases including acute myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, hypertension, and atherosclerosis. At the endothelium damage site, platelets interact with sub-endothelial matrix proteins such as glycoprotein VI/Fc receptor γ-chain (GPVI/FcRγ), G protein-coupled receptor/phospholipase Cγ(β) (GPCR/PLCγ(β)), Rho/RhoK and integrin. The activation of these signaling pathways triggers intracellular calcium increase and causes platelet adhesion, aggregation, g...

Calcium in arteries influences heart attack risk
(UT Southwestern Medical Center) Patients without calcium buildup in the coronary arteries had significantly lower risk of future heart attack or stroke despite other high risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or bad cholesterol levels, new research from UT Southwestern cardiologists shows.

Abstract 031: Diastolic Blood Pressure, Coronary Artery Calcium, and Cardiac Outcomes in the Multi-ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis Session Title: Cardiac Hypertrophy and Dysfunction
Diastolic blood pressure (BP) has a J-curve relationship with coronary heart disease and death. Because this association is thought to reflect reduced coronary perfusion at low diastolic BP, our objective was to test whether the J-curve is most pronounced among persons with coronary artery calcium. Among 6,811 participants from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, we used Cox models to examine if diastolic BP category is associated with coronary heart disease events, stroke, and mortality. Analyses were conducted in the sample overall and after stratification by coronary artery calcium score. In multivariable-adjuste...

Abstract 143: Pregnancy Dependant Transcriptomic Changes in Uterine Arteries From Hypertensive and Normotensive Rat Models Session Title: Developmental Programming and Pregnancy Induced Hypertension
This study investigated early gene expression changes in the uterine arteries (UA) of pregnant SHRSP and normotensive Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rats.Methods: SHRSP and WKY females were time mated and UA isolated at gestational day (GD)6 (n=3). Non-pregnant (NP) UA were isolated from virgin aged matched controls (n=3). UA RNAseq (Illumina platform) was performed. Transcript level gene changes were interpreted using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (FDR 1.0). Quantitative RT-PCR was used to validate significantly differentially expressed genes.Results: There was a greater number of differentially expressed transcripts NP v GD6 in SHRSP c...
