Hypertension is a common, chronic disorder which is associated with a significant risk for cardiovascular diseases. Current guidelines emphasise that lowering elevated blood pressure (BP) reduced morbidity from stroke, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure and renal failure. This inadequate control not only has significant consequences in terms of patient morbidity and mortality, but also in terms of health care costs.
Poor compliance with antihypertensive therapy is thought to be a major factor in the failure to control hypertension. Between 30% and 46% of patients may be non compliant with their antihypertensive drug regimens.
There has been much debate concerning the causes of noncompliance with antihypertensive therapy. Major factors are thought to be asymptomatic nature of hypertension, unacceptable side effects of therapy, suboptimal antihypertensive efficacy, and lack of effective communication between clinician and patient.

The effect of antihypertensive drugs on chronic kidney disease: a comprehensive review

Data from randomized clinical trials and epidemiological evidence identify systemic hypertension as the second most common modifiable risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression after diabetes mellitus. CKD may progress silently over the years and early diagnosis and control of hypertension is of major importance in delaying renal function decline. Recent guidelines for the treatment of hypertension suggest the use of a variety of antihypertensive drugs in order to achieve the desired blood pressure levels. Renin–angiotensin system inhibitors have been undoubtedly studied the most and are suggested by guidelines and experts as first choice in patients with hypertension and renal injury, particularly in those with diabetes, as they have repeatedly shown to significantly reduce proteinuria.

Nuestro objetivo es llevar a cabo un estudio doble ciego aleatorizado ensayo clínico controlado con antihipertensivos y función vascular endotelial y cognitiva (AVEC), para comparar un tratamiento de 3 años con antihipertensivos (lisinopril, candesartán o hidroclorotiazida) y su efecto sobre la memoria y la función ejecutiva, el flujo sanguíneo cerebral y la función endotelial centro de personas mayores con hipertensión arterial y pruebas objetivas precoz de las deficiencias ejecutivas o de memoria.

These alterations in BP, NOS phosphorylation and ROS production in the vasculature of Ang II-treated mice were markedly and dose-dependently reversed by simultaneous administration of GA (2 and 10μg kg−1 per min). In addition, Ang II-induced ROS production in cultured vascular cells such as endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells was markedly attenuated by GA. These results suggested that GA attenuated the increase in BP via preservation of vascular NO bioavailability not only by inhibiting ROS production but also by preventing the impairment of eNOS function in the vasculature of Ang II-induced hypertensive mice.

To study the relationship between the antihypertensive response of iptakalim and KCNJ11 polymorphisms in Chinese Han hypertensive patients.
Four common A190A, E23K, I337V and 3′UTR +62 G/A polymorphisms were found in KCNJ11. The E23K, I337V and 3′UTR +62 G/A polymorphisms were in complete linkage disequilibrium, and I337V was used as a representative.
The results suggest the KCNJ11 polymorphisms are associated with the SBP-lowering response of short-term iptakalim therapy in Chinese Han hypertensive patients.
