Progression of obstructive sleep apnoea after renal denervation is not associated with hypertension exaggeration.

Purpose: In a cohort, observational prospective trial, we assessed the long-term dynamics of sleep-disordered breathing in patients with resistant hypertension after renal denervation and their association with blood pressure change at remote follow-up.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-eight patients with stable hypertension who were recruited for endovascular radiofrequency renal denervation in 2012-2019 and had valid both baseline and follow-up sleep study, were included in the analysis. All patients underwent physical examination, anthropometry, office and ambulatory blood pressure measurements, blood and urine tests, kidney visualization, and full polysomnography before and within 12-36 months after renal denervation.

Russian-language translation and cultural adaptation of the Norwegian 'Patient Experience Questionnaire'.

Unlabelled: The availability of patient-reported experience measures (PREM) is an unmet need in Russian healthcare.

Objective: To translate, adapt culturally, and validate PREM for outpatients.

Methods: A core set of questions from the Patient Experience Questionnaire (PEQ, in Norwegian, available in English) was translated to Russian (forward-backward translation).

Value-based approach to blood pressure telemonitoring and remote counseling in hypertensive patients.

Purpose: Blood pressure telemonitoring and remote counselling (BPTM) improves blood pressure (BP) control in patients with hypertension (HTN). Studies assessing the efficacy of BPTM from a value-based perspective are lacking. We investigated whether BPTM fits all principles of the value-based approach (clinical and economic effectiveness, improvement in patient-reported outcome/experience measures (PROM/PREM)).
