Effects of Renal Denervation on Sympathetic Nerve Traffic and Correlates in Drug-Resistant and Uncontrolled Hypertension: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Annalisa Biffi et al.

Summary: This meta-analysis demonstrates that renal denervation (RDN) is associated with a significant, although modest, central sympathoinhibition in a consistent number of drug-resistant or uncontrolled hypertension patients. However, this effect is unrelated to the blood pressure lowering effects of RDN. Factors other than central sympathetic outflow inhibition may contribute to the BP lowering effects of RDN.

Summary: Prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major public health challenge. Identifying individuals at increased cardiovascular risk at an asymptomatic stage is crucial for minimizing disease progression and burden. Vascular ageing (VA) is the deterioration of vascular structure and function over time and can help identify those at elevated cardiovascular risk. However, VA is seldom measured in routine clinical practice due to lack of consensus and practical issues. This state-of-the-art review aims to increase knowledge about VA and promote its routine measurement.

Summary: Since the publication of the 2018 ESC/ESH Guidelines, high-quality studies have confirmed the efficacy and safety of RDN in patients with hypertension. The consensus document recommends RDN as an adjunct treatment for uncontrolled resistant hypertension and for patients who cannot tolerate antihypertensive medications. A shared decision-making process is crucial, taking into account the patient's overall cardiovascular risk and the presence of hypertension-mediated organ damage or complications. Multidisciplinary hypertension teams involving experts and interventionalists are needed to evaluate indications and perform RDN procedures. Future research should focus on clinical outcomes and potential indications beyond hypertension.

Pregnancy and Reproductive Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease in Women

Anna C. O'Kelly et al.

Summary: In addition to conventional risk factors, women also face sex-specific risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Key stages of a woman's reproductive history, such as early and late menarche, polycystic ovary syndrome, infertility, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and absence of breastfeeding, are associated with increased future cardiovascular disease risk. The menopause transition period also represents an accelerated cardiovascular disease risk, with timing, mechanism, and symptoms of menopause playing a role. Differences in conventional risk factors explain some, but not all, of the observed associations between reproductive history and cardiovascular disease; further research is needed to understand hormonal effects and unique sex-specific mechanisms. A history of reproductive risk factors provides an opportunity for comprehensive screening, refinement of risk assessment, and implementation of prevention strategies to optimize women's long-term cardiometabolic health.

Individualized Beta-Blocker Treatment for High Blood Pressure Dictated by Medical Comorbidities: Indications Beyond the 2018 European Society of Cardiology/European Society of Hypertension Guidelines

Summary: Several hypertension guidelines have downgraded beta-blockers as first-choice drugs for hypertension treatment, but this may not be justified by available evidence. Beta-blockers effectively lower blood pressure and have solid documentation in preventing cardiovascular complications. Suspected inconveniences of beta-blockers may have been overemphasized, while patients with certain conditions can benefit from beta-blocker therapy. Beta-blockers are pathophysiologically appropriate for hypertension treatment due to the activation of the sympathetic nervous system. They also have favorable effects on various clinical conditions that coexist with hypertension. However, selecting beta-blockers with documented effects is important in guidelines.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea-Induced Neurogenic Nocturnal Hypertension A Potential Role of Renal Denervation?

Kazuomi Kario et al.

Summary: There is a bidirectional, causal relationship between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and hypertension, with hypoxia/hypercapnia-related sympathetic activation being the key mechanism. While continuous positive airway pressure is the gold standard therapy for OSA, its effects on blood pressure are modest. Antihypertensive agents targeting sympathetic pathways or the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system may have potential in patients with comorbid hypertension and OSA.

Mediterranean diet and blood pressure reduction in adults with and without hypertension: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Christina D. Filippou et al.

Summary: This study comprehensively assessed the effects of the Mediterranean diet on blood pressure levels through a meta-analysis of 35 randomized controlled trials. The findings suggest that the Mediterranean diet may lead to a small but significant reduction in blood pressure compared to usual and other active intervention diets, with greater effects observed in trials with higher baseline blood pressure and longer follow-up durations.

A cohort study and meta-analysis of isolated diastolic hypertension: searching for a threshold to guide treatment

Alan P. Jacobsen et al.

Summary: The IDH defined by the 2017 ACC/AHA criteria is not consistently associated with CAC or CVD events, suggesting that a focus on healthy lifestyle instead of drug therapy may be sufficient for middle-aged or older adults meeting the criteria. More studies are needed to explore the potential associations in younger adults under 40 years old.
