Refractory Hypertension
The term resistant hypertension has been used since the early 1960s to identify patients with difficult-to-treat hypertension, meaning mostly, resistance to pharmacological therapy. In the 5 decades since the term was seemingly first applied, resistant hypertension has been consistently defined as failure to control high blood pressure despite of use of ≥3 antihypertensive agents of different c...
متن کاملCirculating Endothelial Cells in Refractory Pulmonary Hypertension in Children: Markers of Treatment Efficacy and Clinical Worsening
BACKGROUND Pulmonary vasodilators in general and prostacyclin analogues in particular have improved the outcome of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Endothelial dysfunction is a key feature of PAH and we previously described that circulating endothelial cell (CEC) level could be used as a biomarker of endothelial dysfunction in PAH. We now hypothesized that an efficient PAH-s...
متن کاملTruly refractory hypertension.
W hat really is refractory or resistant hypertension? Twenty years ago, Setaro and Black defined the condition as blood pressure >140/90 mm Hg, no evidence of secondary hypertension, maximal doses of at least 2 appropriate antihy-pertensive agents, and sufficient treatment duration to allow the treatments to be effective. 1 Today, we would probably expand the definition to at least 3 agents 2 o...
متن کاملO 23: Anti-Inflammatory Treatment in Children with Refractory Seizure
Epilepsy is a neurological disease of the central nervous system. It is estimated that about 50-70 million people worldwide suffer from this chronic disorder and 20 to 30% are resistant to conventional anti-epileptic drugs. In the epilepsy therapeutic arena, there is real need for developing novel antiepileptogenesis treatments that offer a way to prevent the onset or the progression of the dis...
متن کاملCirculating inflammatory and endothelial markers and risk of hypertension in white and black postmenopausal women.
BACKGROUND Systemic inflammation and endothelial activation are implicated in the development of hypertension. However, epidemiologic studies have yet to compare multiple corresponding biomarkers in relation to risk of hypertension, particularly in multiethnic populations. METHODS We identified 800 individuals with incident hypertension and 800 matched controls, each group with equal numbers ...
