Purpose: To identify the features of early vascular ageing (EVA) in patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS), to assess the accuracy of existing methods for determining vascular age in MetS, and to derive a new score (VAmets) for the calculation of vascular age and predicting EVA in patients with MetS.
Methods: Prospective open cohort study using routinely collected data from general practice. A total of 750 patients (age, 35-80 yrs old) with MetS were examined.
Introduction: Patients with hypertension often require a combination of three antihypertensive agents to achieve blood pressure control, but very few single-pill triple combinations are available. The aim of this study was to determine whether a single-pill triple combination of perindopril, indapamide, and amlodipine was as effective as a dual-pill combination of perindopril/indapamide plus separate amlodipine at reducing blood pressure in patients with uncontrolled, essential hypertension.
Methods: This international, multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial was conducted in men or women aged ≥18 years old with confirmed essential hypertension (SBP ≥140 and <160 mmHg and DBP ≥90 and <100 mmHg), uncontrolled on maximal dose antihypertensive monotherapy or with a single dose of dual therapy.
Background And Objectives: Obesity exacerbates hypertension and stimulates the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). Full-dose RAAS inhibition could be a therapeutic option in overweight or obese patients with hypertension. This study compared four RAAS inhibitors at full therapeutic doses to determine their effect on blood pressure (BP) and cardiovascular risk factors in these patients.
