Background: Recent data from SPRINT trial demonstrated that, intense systolic blood pressure (ISBP) control to <120 mm Hg was associated with lower cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, compared to standard systolic BP (St-SBP) control to <140 mm Hg. We sought to determine current trend in the clinical practice in terms of intense SBP control. Methods: Electronic medical records from 3 different ambulatory clinics were reviewed to identify hypertensive patients with at least 3 consecutive clinic visits. Patients with diabetes, with <3 clinic visits, end-stage renal failure, and end stage liver failure were excluded. Cohort was categorized in to ISBP group and St-SBP group, when more than 50% of the clinic encounters had SBP ≤ 120 mm HG and > 120 mm Hg respectively. Results: 1644 non diabetic patients with HTN included in the analysis. 1389 (84.5%) patients had St-SBP control whereas only 255 (15.5%) patients had ISBP control. ISBP group had significantly lower mean (±SD) SBP compared to St-SBP group; 116(±6.4) mm Hg vs. 136(±11.6) mm Hg respectively; P<0.0001. Baseline characteristics shown in table 1. ISBP group and St-SBP group had similar comorbid profile, except slightly greater prevalence of COPD in ISBP 46 (18.0%) vs 165 (11.9%); P=0.007. Conclusion: There is significant variation in SBP control in non-diabetic hypertensive patients in clinical practice, despite comparable comorbid profile. Furthermore, ISBP control is not a common practice in real world. Quality improvement measures should focus on promoting ISBP control in non-diabetic hypertensive patients.

Introduction: There are two mechanisms proposed for the greater urinary albumin excretion (UAE) in patients with essential hypertension: increased glomerular hydrostatic pressure or increased selectivity of the glomerular basement membrane. In hemodynamic mechanism regulation of the glomerular hydrostatic pressure is regulated by the relative vasoconstriction vasodilatation of the afferent and efferent glomerular arterioles. Hypertension is one of the major public health problems in the world. In India the prevalence of hypertension is about 25% in urban and 10-15% in rural, adult population as compared to west which is 30%. Essential hypertension is responsible for producing clinical proteinuria and a significant reduction in renal function in 5-15% of patients. Several studies have shown that proteinuria and microalbuminuria are independent predictors of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with hypertension. Some data suggest that reduction of albumin excretion rate reduces the risk of adverse renal and cardiovascular events (CVEs). Material and Methods: Patients, who had high blood pressure based on JNC 8 (Joint National Commission 8) criteria during three subsequent visits to the outpatient clinic and a creatinine clearance greater than 80 ml/min/1.73 m2, were included in the study. A total of 546 essential hypertensive patients whose BP was> 140/90 mm Hg in nondiabetics and BP >130/85 mm Hg in diabetic patients were included in the study. Blood pressure monitoring was done according to the WHO guidelines. Demographic data, age, sex, weight, associated cardiovascular disease, albuminuria, and clinical parameters were all recorded. All routine biochemical tests and microalbuminuria tests were performed by the laboratory. Blood and urine creatinine were measured using an autoanalyzer. Results: There were 322 (58.97%) male and 224 (41.02%) female included in the study. Left ventricular hypertrophy was observed in 267 (48.9%) of the patients, retinopathy was seen in 54 (9.89%) and microalbimunira was observed in 297(54.4%) of hypertensive patients. 129 (23.63%) were smokers. Statistical significance was observed renal parameters except serum uric acid levels. Conclusion: Prevalence of microalbuminuria in hypertensive patients warns that screening for microalbuminuria is essential for intervention and prevention of complications and renal diseases. Also it is necessary to screen the patients for early nephropathy to halt the disease progression.

The aim of the study was to determine the effectiveness of giving hydrotherapi foot soak in hypertensive patients. The study was conducted with one group pretestposttest design without a control group by measuring blood pressure (pretest) before being given an intervention in the form of foot soak hydrotherm against 15 people with hypertension in Banjar Sri Mandala, Dauhwaru Village, Jembrana Subregency. Then do the blood pressure measurement again (posttest) after finishing the intervention. After the study was completed, the results showed that before the hydrotherapi foot bath intervention, there were 0% of patients classified as normal, 13.32% in prehypertension category, 60.08% in hypertension category I and 26.60% in hypertension category II. After the intervention was given, there were 13.32% of the patients classified as normal, 66.68% in the prehypertension category, 20.00% in the first category of hypertension and no patients belonging to the second grade hypertension category. There is a decrease of 20-30 mmHg for systolic blood pressure and 0-10 mmHg for diastolic blood pressure after intervention. Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that the hydrotherapi foot bath is effectively used to reduce blood pressure in hypertensive patients in the Banjar Sri Mandala, Dauhwaru Village, Jembrana District.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to establish whether Triglycerides (TGs) are related to Blood Pressure (BP) variability and whether controlling TG levels leads to better BP variability management and prevents Cardiovascular Disease (CVD). Methods: In this study, we enrolled 106 hypertensive patients and 80 non-hypertensive patients. Pearson correlation and partial correlation analyses were used to define the relationships between TG levels and BP variability in all subjects. Patients with hypertension were divided into two subgroups according to TG level: Group A (TG<1.7 mmol/L) and Group B (TG>=1.7 mmol/L). The heterogeneity between the two subgroups was compared using t tests and covariance analysis. Results: TG levels and BP variability were significantly different between the hypertensive and non-hypertensive patients. Two-tailed Pearson correlation tests showed that TG levels are positively associated with many BP variability measures in all subjects. After reducing other confounding factors, the partial correlation analysis revealed that TG levels are still related to the Standard Deviation (SD), Coefficient of Variation (CV) of nighttime systolic blood pressure and CV of nighttime diastolic blood pressure, respectively (each p<0.05). In the subgroups, group A had a lower SD of nighttime Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP_night_SD; 11.39±3.80 and 13.39±4.16, p=0.011), CV of nighttime systolic blood pressure (SBP_night_CV; 0.09±0.03 and 0.11±0.03, p=0.014) and average real variability of nighttime systolic blood pressure (SBP_night_ARV; 10.99±3.98 and 12.6±3.95, p=0.024) compared with group B, even after adjusting for age and other lipid indicators. Conclusion: TG levels are significantly associated with BP variability and hypertriglyceridemia, which affects blood pressure variability before causing target organ damage.

AbstractThe optimal target blood pressure (BP) in the treatment of hypertensive patients remains controversial. Recently, the systolic blood pressure trial (SPRINT) has proposed that a target systolic blood pressure of < 120 mmHg provides prognostic benefit in elderly hypertensive patients at high cardiovascular risk. The results of SPRINT contrast with several other intervention trials which have investigated the effect of intense BP lowering (Secondary Prevention of Small Subcortical Strokes [SPS3], Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes [ACCORD], Heart Outcomes Prevention Evaluation [HOPE]-3). The differences in outcomes in SPRINT vs. other intervention trials are, to a large extend, due to an "unobserved" BP measurement procedure utilized in the SPRINT trial. Thus, a BP goal of < 120 mmHg, at least by conventional BP measurement, remains unproven. Independent of SPRINT the controversial evidence with respect to BP targets calls for further studies and, possibly, for more individualized treatment goals.

Introduction: White matter hyperintensities (WMH) are linked to cognitive decline and stroke. We hypothesized that Black race would be associated with greater WMH progression in the ACCORDION MIND trial. Methods: The primary outcome is WMH progression in mL, evaluated by fitting linear regression to WMH volume on the month 80 MRI and including the WMH volume on the baseline MRI. The primary predictor is patient race, with the exclusion of patients defined as “other” race. We also derived predicted probabilities of our outcome for systolic blood pressure (SBP) levels. Results: We included 276 patients who completed the baseline and month 80 MRI, of which 207 were white, 48 Black, and 21 Hispanic. During follow-up, the mean number of SBP, LDL, and A1c measurements per patient was 21, 8, and 15. The mean (SD) WMH progression was 3.3 (5.4) mL for blacks, 2.5 (3.2) mL for Hispanics, and 2.4 (3.3) mL for whites. In the multivariate regression model (Table 1), Black, compared to white, patients had significantly more WMH progression (β Coefficient 1.26, 95% CI 0.45-2.06, p=0.002). Hispanic, compared to white, patients did not have significantly different WMH progression (p=0.392), nor was there a difference when comparing Hispanic to Black patients (p=0.162). The predicted WMH progression was significantly higher for Black compared to white patients across a mean SBP of 117 to 139 mm Hg (Figure 1). Conclusions: Black diabetic patients in ACCORDION MIND have a higher risk of WMH progression than white patients across a normal range of systolic blood pressure.
