Stroke is the second leading cause of death and the leading cause of serious, long-term disability worldwide.1 Clinical trials have documented that lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of stroke in hypertensive and normotensive patients with a history of stroke or transient ischemic attack. Although the benefit of lowering blood pressure for primary and secondary prevention of stroke has been established, the effect of immediate antihypertensive treatment in patients with acute ischemic stroke and elevated blood pressure is uncertain. Elevated blood pressure is common during acute ischemic stroke.
Resistant hypertension—complex mix of secondary causes and comorbidities. Por: T. Dudenbostel. Journal of Human Hypertension (2014) 28, 1–2.
Resistant hypertension (RHTN) is an increasingly common clinical problem1, 2 that studies have suggested is almost always heterogeneous in terms of etiology, risk factors and comorbidities. There has been a growing interest in defining epidemiology and pathophysiology in hope of identifying treatment targets. Ver más….
La cardiopatía hipertensiva representa altas morbilidad y mortalidad. La complejidad de su prevención radica en el número de factores de riesgo implicados en su desarrollo El objetivo de este trabajo fue diseñar y validar un árbol de predicción para el desarrollo de la cardiopatía hipertensiva a partir de factores hemodinámicos y no hemodinámicos.

Hypertension is a frequent and modifiable cardiovascular risk factor with a cyclic relationship with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The diagnosis, treatment, monitoring and control of high blood pressure are all mandatory not only in CKD but also in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). As demonstrated by studies using population and hypertensive patients, white-coat hypertension (WCHT) and masked hypertension (MHT) carry a particular degree of risk. The advantages of ambulatory techniques in the management and prognostic stratification of patients with CKD and ESRD have also been recognized.
