Essential Arterial Hypertension

Aim. To study the specifics of lead, zinc, copper, magnesium and calcium metabolism in children and adolescents with essential arterial hypertension living in different ecological settings. Methods. 100 children and adolescents aged 13-17 years with arterial hypertension, living in «industrial» (52 patients) and «residential» (48 patients) areas were examined in cardiology ward. 33 healthy children and adolescents comparable by age and gender were included as healthy controls. According to 24-hour blood pressure monitoring, groups with stable, labile arterial hypertension and «white coat hypertension» were formed. The levels of elements in 24-hour urine and in serum were measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Results. In children and adolescents with stable arterial hypertension living in industrial areas, parameters of 24-hour blood pressure monitoring (mean 24-hour and mean daytime systolic blood pressure values, time of systolic hypertension, mean 24-hour and mean daytime blood pressure values) were higher compared to the same parameters in children from residential areas, the difference was statistically significant. The study of elements metabolism revealed increased lead exposure in children with essential arterial hypertension living in industrial areas, and misbalance of essential elements in those patients compared to the same parameters in children from residential areas. Conclusion. Results suggest increased exposure to arterial hypertension and marked misbalance of essential elements in children and adolescents with essential arterial hypertension living in industrial areas.

Abstract: Objective: To investigate the significance of 24-hr ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) data and metabolism indicators, as well their correlation in predicting the risk of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in children and adolescents with arterial hypertension (AH). Methods: We studied 118 children and adolescents, M±m 15.51±0.25 yrs, Boys/Girls – 104/14, with AH: 60 stable, 40 labile, 18 prehypertension (high-normal blood pressure), and a control group of 13 normotensive children, M±m 15,19±0,41 yrs, Boys/Girls – 10/3. All patients underwent a comprehensive anamnestic, clinical, laboratory, and instrumental examination, including 24-hr ABPM; indicators were standardized by gender and age. On Doppler echocardiography (echoCG), the left ventricular myocardial mass index (LVMI) was calculated. Lipid spectrum parameters were determined by biochemical method, venous blood glycemia by GOD-PAP, blood serum basal immunoreactive insulin by ELISA methods, insulin resistance (IR) by HOMA parameters calculation. Statistical processing was performed using the package of statistical analysis software STATISTICA. Results: Of a range of metabolism indicators, BMI, TG level, LDL/HDL ratio, HOMA index, 24-hr DBP index, and the stable character of AH identified as the most significant factors in predicting the risk of LVH in hypertensive children. All multivariate models of logistic regressions, which include BMI, can predict the probability of LVH with an accuracy of 79.7-84.7%, sensitivity - 57.5-77.5%, specificity - 86.4-91.0%. Conclusions: Obtained satisfactory concordance of the actual data with predictive models' results indicate the possibility of their use to predict the risk of LVH in children and adolescents with AH.

Background and Objectives: This study aims to determine prevalence of masked uncontrolled hypertension (MUH) in frail geriatric patients with arterial hypertension and thus show the role of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) since hypertension occurs in more than 80% of people 60+ years and cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of death worldwide. Despite modern pharmacotherapy, use of combination therapy and normal office blood pressure (BP), patients’ prognoses might worsen due to inadequate therapy (never-detected MUH). Materials and Methods: 118 frail geriatric patients (84.2 ± 4.4 years) treated for arterial hypertension with office BP < 140/90 mmHg participated in the study. 24-h ABPM and clinical examination were performed. Results: Although patients were normotensive in the office, 24-h measurements showed that BP values in 72% of hypertensives were not in the target range: MUH was identified in 47 (40%) patients during 24 h, in 48 (41%) patients during daytime and nocturnal hypertension in 60 (51%) patients. Conclusions: ABPM is essential for frail geriatric patients due to high prevalence of MUH, which cannot be detected based on office BP measurements. ABPM also helps to detect exaggerated morning surge, isolated systolic hypertension, dipping/non-dipping, and set and properly manage adequate treatment, which reduces incidence of cardiovascular events and contributes to decreasing the financial burden of society.

Systemic Arterial Hypertension

  Resumo: O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar as principais dificuldades encontradas no acompanhamento dos portadores de Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica (HAS) utilizando a ferramenta MRPA, bem como as vantagens e eficácia do tratamento ao hipertenso. Foi realizado o levantamento dos artigos científicos nas bases de dados eletrônicas Google Acadêmico e Scientific Electronic Library Online. Após a inserção dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão foram selecionados dez estudos publicados entre 2005 e 2020 para compor a amostra. As dificuldades apontadas na literatura foram: o declínio do uso da ferramenta em longo prazo, dificuldade no manuseio do aparelho, número insuficiente de medidas pelos pacientes dos estudos e indução de estresse e ansiedade nos pacientes. Além disso, foram averiguadas vantagens do uso da ferramenta e a eficácia desse tipo de monitorização no tratamento ao portador de HAS. A ferramenta MRPA é eficaz no diagnóstico e acompanhamento de hipertensos, e para melhor usufruir dessa estratégia, é preciso que os profissionais estejam atentos às dificuldades apontadas e solucioná-las.

Hypertensive Crises

Arterial hypertension (AH) is one of the most common diseases. Despite numerous studies, many problems related to this pathology remain to be elucidated. The modern classifications of AHare contradictory and true causes of elevated blood pressure (BP) are unknown. There are no methods for diagnostics of early stages of AH nor is there adequateunderstanding of what hypertensive crises are, how they are to be classified and why they develop. Pathomorphosis of AH is practically unexplored. There are no efficient medications and therapies for the radical treatment of AH. The authors propose classification of hypertensive crisis, hypertensive disease, and symptomatic AH. It is recommended to use 24-hour blood pressure monitoring in all AH patients. New approaches to diagnostics of early stages of AH are proposed.

Hypertension In Children

Hypertension is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, not only in adults, but in youths also, as it is associated with long-term negative health effects. The predominant type of hypertension in children is the secondary hypertension, with the chronic kidney disease being the most common cause, however, nowadays, there is a rising incidence of primary hypertension due to the rising incidence of obesity in children. Although office blood pressure has guided patient management for many years, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring provides useful information, facilitates the diagnosis and management of hypertension in children and adolescents, by monitoring treatment and evaluation for secondary causes or specific phenotypes of hypertension. In the field of secondary hypertension, there are numerous studies, which have reported a strong association between different determinants of 24-hour blood pressure profile and the underlying cause. In addition, in children with secondary hypertension, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring parameters offer the unique advantage to identify pediatric low- and high-risk children for target organ damage. Novel insights in the pathogenesis of hypertension, including the role of perinatal factors or new cardiovascular biomarkers, such as fibroblast growth factor 23, need to be further evaluated in the near future.
