Renin Angiotensin Blockers and Cardiac Protection: From Basis to Clinical Trials

Bernard Levy et al.

Summary: Despite similar effects on blood pressure, ARBs have been found to have higher cardiovascular mortality and lower protection against myocardial infarction compared to ACEIs. The different effects may be due to the specific actions of ACEIs on bradykinin and nitric oxide, while chronic blockade of AT1 receptors by ARBs may result in overstimulation of angiotensin II and activation of potentially harmful receptors.

Harmonization of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association and European Society of Cardiology/European Society of Hypertension Blood Pressure/Hypertension Guidelines: Comparisons, Reflections, and Recommendations

Paul K. Whelton et al.

Summary: The guidelines for the management of high blood pressure/hypertension by the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association and the European Society of Cardiology/European Society of Hypertension are influential and show substantial concordance in their recommendations. The most notable difference is the blood pressure cut points recommended for diagnosis. Further harmonization of future guidelines could lead to improved prevention, awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension worldwide.

Summary: This study examines the long-term effects of intensive blood pressure control on cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. It found that although intensive treatment was beneficial during the intervention period, the benefits did not persist after the trial ended.

Adherence to Single-Pill Versus Free-Equivalent Combination Therapy in Hypertension A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Gianfranco Parati et al.

Summary: Single-pill combination (SPC) therapy was found to lead to improved adherence and persistence compared to free-equivalent combination (FEC) therapy in patients with hypertension, resulting in better blood pressure control. Studies showed that patients receiving SPCs had significantly enhanced adherence and lower likelihood of discontinuation compared to those receiving FECs. Moreover, SPC therapy led to significant reductions in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure at week 12, highlighting its potential benefits for patients with hypertension.

Worldwide trends in hypertension prevalence and progress in treatment and control from 1990 to 2019: a pooled analysis of 1201 population-representative studies with 104 million participants

Bin Zhou et al.

Summary: Global prevalence of hypertension doubled from 1990 to 2019, with significant improvements in detection, treatment, and control rates. In 2019, 59% of women and 49% of men with hypertension were previously diagnosed, while treatment rates were 47% for women and 38% for men, with control rates at 23% for women and 18% for men. Disparities exist across countries, with some middle-income nations now outperforming high-income countries in hypertension management.

Bin Zhou et al.

Summary: This review summarizes the global epidemiology of hypertension and blood pressure, highlighting the higher prevalence of hypertension in low and middle-income countries compared to high-income countries. The review also discusses the disparities in hypertension treatment across countries and the factors influencing these disparities.

Trial of Intensive Blood-Pressure Control in Older Patients with Hypertension

Weili Zhang et al.

Summary: In 8511 Chinese patients aged 60 to 80 with hypertension, intensive treatment with a systolic blood-pressure target of 110 to <130 mm Hg resulted in a lower incidence of cardiovascular events compared to standard treatment with a target of 130 to <150 mm Hg. Except for a higher incidence of hypotension, the two groups had similar rates of adverse events.
