Title: Predictors of blood pressure control in patients with resistant hypertension | ||
Author: J. Pales, G. Kamensky, J. Payer | ||
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Uncontrolled resistant hypertension (RH) defined by the mean 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure (ABPM) represents an independent risk factor in hypertensive patients. Predictors of blood pressure (BP) control in RH are not yet clearly defined. RESULTS: After the second ABPM, BP was controlled in 25.4 % of patients; the remaining 74.6 % were classified as uncontrolled. In the uncontrolled BP group, systolic office BP was 140.91±16.71 mmHg, diastolic 81.26 ± 10.92 mmHg. In ABPM, systolic was 145.11 ± 13.65 mmHg, diastolic 81.26 ± 10.92 mmHg. Compared to the controlled BP group, in the uncontrolled group the age was higher 72.32 ±10.89 years (p = 0.047), baseline average real variability of systolic BP was lower 12.66 ± 3.08 vs. 14.52 ± 3.53 (p = 0.013), no significant difference in baseline standard deviation of systolic BP changes was found. |
