Effect of cigarette smoking on smoking biomarkers, blood pressure and blood lipid levels among Sri Lankan male smokers

Prasanna Herath, Savithri Wimalasekera, Thamara Amarasekara, Manoj Fernando, Sue Turale

Summary: This study aimed to compare FeNO, eCO, blood pressure, and blood lipid levels between smokers and non-smokers, as well as the association of smoking intensity with these parameters. Results showed that smokers had lower FeNO levels and higher eCO values, with higher rates of palpitations. Smoking intensity was positively correlated with systolic blood pressure and negatively correlated with FeNO levels. Additionally, smokers exhibited higher levels of TC, TG, LDL-C, VLDL-C, TC:HDL ratio, and low HDL-C compared to non-smokers.

Monitoring of the regulatory ability and regulatory state of the autonomic nervous system and its application to the management of hypertensive patients: a study protocol for randomised controlled trials

Xiang Xiao, Xinyi Deng, Gaoyu Zhang, Mengru Liu, Dongliang Fu, Peng Yang, Xianlun Li, Hong Jiang

Summary: This study aims to find a new way to control blood pressure in hypertensive patients through respiratory feedback training based on cardiopulmonary resonance indices. The study will recruit 176 healthy individuals and 352 hypertensive patients, randomly dividing the hypertensive patients into a conventional treatment group and an experiment group. The experiment group will undergo additional daily respiratory training for 6 months. The primary outcome is the difference in clinical systolic blood pressure between the two groups after 6 months of intervention.

Dietary modification for prevention and control of high blood pressure

Yiu-Hei Tse, Choi-Yee Tuet, Kui-Kai Lau, Hung-Fat Tse

Summary: Hypertension (HT) is the leading cause of cardiovascular and premature death globally. Diet plays a crucial role in the development of HT, with factors such as sodium, alcohol, animal-based protein, and low-quality carbohydrates increasing blood pressure, while potassium, calcium, magnesium, yogurt, eggs, plant-based protein, and high-quality carbohydrates reducing blood pressure. The impact of caffeine, hibiscus tea, pomegranate, and sesame on blood pressure remains unclear. Implementing specific dietary approaches like the DASH diet or Mediterranean diet has been shown to effectively reduce and control blood pressure.

Clinical course and outcomes in adults with co-occurring hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and hypertension: a scoping review protocol

Milla Arabadjian, Barnaby Nicolas, Sophie Montgomery, Mitchell Pleasure, Maxine Collins, Maria Reuter, Daniele Massera, Daichi Shimbo, Mark Sherrid

Summary: Hypertension affects a significant percentage of adults with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), leading to delayed diagnosis. The clinical course and outcomes in adults with co-occurring HCM and hypertension are not well understood, and existing studies have provided conflicting results. This paper describes the protocol for a scoping review that aims to systematically synthesize existing knowledge, identify knowledge gaps, and suggest future research directions to optimize outcomes in this population.

The primary outcome will be all-cause mortality at <= 30 days, with secondary outcomes including mechanical ventilation, admission to intensive care, and cardiovascular events at short-term follow-up. Prespecified subgroup analyses will evaluate various factors' effects on all-cause mortality.

Burden of cardiometabolic risk factors and preclinical target organ damage among adults in Freetown, Sierra Leone: a community-based health-screening survey

James Baligeh Walter Russell, Theresa Ruba Koroma, Santigie Sesay, Sallieu Kabay Samura, Sulaiman Lakoh, Ansumana Bockarie, Onome Thomas Abir, Joseph Sam Kanu, Joshua Coker, Abdul Jalloh, Victor Conteh, Sorie Conteh, Mohamed Smith, Othman Z. Mahdi, Durodami R. Lisk

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors (CMRFs), target organ damage (TOD) and its associated factors among adults in Freetown, Sierra Leone. The study found high prevalence of CMRFs such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, obesity, smoking, and alcohol consumption, as well as target organ damage including left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The findings highlight the need for interventions to improve cardiometabolic health screening and management in Sierra Leonean population.

Blood pressure targets in CKD 2021: the never-ending guidelines debacle

Sol Carriazo, Pantelis Sarafidis, Charles J. Ferro, Alberto Ortiz

Summary: In 2021, two updated clinical guidelines were published, one providing guidance on blood pressure targets for chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, and the other focusing on cardiovascular disease prevention. The two guidelines differ in their recommended blood pressure targets, with one suggesting a lower target of <120 mmHg for CKD patients, while the other recommends a target of <140-130 mmHg. It is important for guideline bodies to communicate and establish consensus on major issues in order to address the diverse recommendations.

Endovascular ultrasound renal denervation to lower blood pressure in young hypertensive women planning pregnancy: study protocol for a multicentre randomised, blinded and sham controlled proof of concept study

Philippe Gosse, Loic Sentilhes, Romain Boulestreau, Julien Doublet, Julie Gaudissard, Michel Azizi, Antoine Cremer

Summary: The limited options for pharmacological treatment of hypertension in pregnancy have led to the development of a new method called endovascular catheter-based renal denervation (RDN), which reduces blood pressure by affecting the renal sympathetic nervous system. This study aims to quantify the proportion of blood pressure normalization in young hypertensive women planning a pregnancy after undergoing RDN.

Summary: In two pediatric PAH cohorts, elevated ST2 was associated with unfavorable pulmonary hemodynamics and functional measures, clinical worsening, and significantly improved prediction of clinical worsening. Pulmonary artery endothelial cellular expression of ST2 suggests that ST2 is a more pulmonary vascular-specific marker for pulmonary hypertension.

Risk Scores and Prediction Models in Chronic Heart Failure: A Comprehensive Review

Maria Toumpourleka, Dimitrios Patoulias, Alexandra Katsimardou, Michael Doumas, Christodoulos Papadopoulos

Summary: This study systematically reviewed recent literature on risk scores or prediction models for ambulatory patients with chronic heart failure. The majority of studies focused on heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction, with only a few developed for those with preserved ejection fraction. Ischemic heart disease was the most common cause of heart failure in the reviewed studies, and more than half of the prediction scores have not been externally validated. Future development of prediction scores should consider patients with preserved or mid-range ejection fraction and incorporate advancements in pharmacotherapy.

Summary: This study assessed the impact of cardiorespiratory fitness on the association between exercise blood pressure and mortality risk, finding that individuals with low cardiorespiratory fitness had significantly higher mortality risk when SBP-Reserve <_52 mmHg. The risk of mortality was even higher in individuals who were unable to increase their exercise SBP above resting levels.

Summary: The study found that opportunistic screening and random sampling methods have similar reliability in estimating the prevalence of hypertension, but opportunistic screening underestimates undiagnosed hypertension and overestimates hypertension treatment and control rates.

Meta-analysis evaluating the risk of respiratory tract infections and acute respiratory distress syndrome with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists in cardiovascular outcome trials: Useful implications for the COVID-19 pandemic

D. Patoulias, A. Boulmpou, K. Imprialos, K. Stavropoulos, C. Papadopoulos, M. Doumas

Summary: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus are at higher risk for severe COVID-19 and related mortality. GLP-1 receptor agonists have cardiovascular and renal benefits for these patients and may also have anti-inflammatory properties. This meta-analysis of cardiovascular outcome trials suggests that GLP-1 receptor agonists do not increase the risk for respiratory tract infections or acute respiratory distress syndrome in patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular comorbidities.
