Article Synopsis
  • - The 2024 European Society of Hypertension guidelines provide a concise update on managing arterial hypertension, featuring a detailed infographic that summarizes previous recommendations for clinical use.
  • - These guidelines maintain existing thresholds for defining hypertension and set treatment goals while emphasizing the importance of blood pressure values, cardiovascular risk (using SCORE2), and assessing organ damage before starting medication.
  • - Notable new features include practical tables for determining the vulnerability of hypertensive patients and specific monitoring guidelines, aimed at fostering consistent, evidence-based care in Spain.

This document summarises the evidence regarding the association between adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs), such as hypertensive disorders, preterm birth, gestational diabetes, fetal growth defects (small for gestational age and/or fetal growth restriction), placental abruption, fetal loss, and the risk that a pregnant individual in developing vascular risk factors (VR) that may lead to future vascular disease (VD): coronary heart disease, stroke, peripheral vascular disease, and heart failure. Furthermore, this document emphasises the importance of recognising APOs when assessing VR in women. A history of APOs serves as a sufficient indicator for primary prevention of VD.

Objectives: Arterial stiffness is considered to be an intermediate marker with independent prognostic value. The objective of this study is to assess whether the estimation of arterial stiffness can improve CV risk stratification compared to SCORE in patients at community pharmacies.

Methods: Observational prospective epidemiological study in which consecutive individuals entering a participating Community Pharmacy are offered a voluntary measurement of blood pressure and estimation of pulse wave velocity by oscillometry (AGEDIO, IEM®) to stratify their CV risk according to SCORE compared to the use of arterial stiffness.
