Article Abstract
Background: Clinic-based effectiveness studies of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) treatment in reducing BP in resistant hypertension (RHTN) vs non-RHTN are sparse. We hypothesize that CPAP use in SDB reduces BP significantly in RHTN and non-RHTN in a large clinic-based cohort.
Methods: Electronic medical records were reviewed in patients with SDB and comorbid RHTN and non-RHTN for CPAP therapy initiation (baseline) and subsequent visits. We estimated generalizable BP changes from multivariable mixed-effects linear models for systolic BP (SBP), diastolic BP, and mean arterial pressure, adjusting for RHTN status, age, sex, race, BMI, cardiac history, and diabetes and repeated measure correlation.
Results: Of 894 patients, 130 (15%) had RHTN at baseline (age, 58 ± 12 years; 52% men; BMI, 36 ± 9 kg/m(2)). Patients with RHTN had significantly higher BP overall (P < .001), most notably for SBP (6.9 mm Hg; 95% CI, 3.84, 9.94). In the year following CPAP initiation, improvements in BP indexes did not generally differ based on RHTN status in which RHTN status was a fixed effect. However, there was a significant decrease in SBP (3.08 mm Hg; 95% CI, 1.79, 4.37), diastolic BP (2.28; 95% CI, 1.56, 3.00), and mean arterial pressure (2.54 mm Hg; 95% CI, 1.73, 3.36) in both groups.
Conclusions: In this clinic-based effectiveness study involving patients closely followed for BP control, a significant reduction of BP measures (strongest for SBP) was observed in response to CPAP which was similar in RHTN and non-RHTN groups thus informing expected clinical CPAP treatment response.

Endothelial Function by Flow-Mediated Dilation (FMD) in the Brachial Artery in Hypertensive Patients.

Background: High blood pressure (BP) values have traditionally been associated with the risk of ischemic heart disease, stroke, chronic kidney disease, and early mortality. The brachial artery FMD after cuff deflation has become the standard parameter for quantifying endothelial function, being a useful surrogate outcome due to its non-invasiveness, close correlation with coronary endothelial function, and association with the incidence of long-term coronary events.
Objectives: To test hypotheses of correlation between the FMD and several blood parameters and to compare parameters between altered and non-altered FMD groups, and between hypertensive patients in the resistant hypertension groups (RHTN and non-RHTN).

Resistant hypertension (RHTN) prevalence ranges from 4 to 19% in Africa. There is a paucity of data on the role of genetic variation on RHTN among Africans. We set out to investigate the role of polymorphisms in , , , , and , on RHTN susceptibility among South Africans.

Background And Aims: Hypertension (HTN) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality affecting about 30%-40% of the adult population in developed countries. Fewer data were published about the prevalence, sociodemographics, and clinical characteristics of the resistant hypertensive population in Egypt. Hence, our aim is to focus the attention on these determinants especially in the delta region of Egypt.

Resistant hypertension (RHTN), defined as blood pressure (BP) that is uncontrolled with ≥3 medications, including a long-acting thiazide diuretic, also includes a subset with BP that is controlled with ≥4 medications, so-called controlled RHTN. This resistance is attributed to intravascular volume excess. Patients with RHTN overall have a higher prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and diastolic dysfunction compared to patients with non-RHTN.

The purpose of this study was to explore the associated factors and hemodynamic characteristics of resistant hypertension (RHTN) in the elderly. A total of 283 patients aged ≥60 years with hypertension were evaluated by the CNAP™ monitor. Among them, 240 patients were non-RHTN (controlled hypertension with use of three or fewer antihypertensive medications) and 43 patients were RHTN (uncontrolled hypertension despite the concurrent use of ≥3 antihypertensive drugs at optimized doses, including a diuretic, or achieving target blood pressure with the use of ≥4 antihypertensive medications).
