B021: Hemodynamic and volume changes during intensive treatment (Rx) for resistant hypertension (ResHTN)

Hypertension (HTN) resistant to multiple agents continues to pose a dilemma to clinicians. We characterized systemic hemodynamics (HD) and volume markers in 63 pts with ResHTN at entry and after 3 mos. of intensive drug adjustment. CV risk was high (32% diabetic, 46% hyperlipidemic) with multiple co...

Zusammenfassung:Hypertension (HTN) resistant to multiple agents continues to pose a dilemma to clinicians. We characterized systemic hemodynamics (HD) and volume markers in 63 pts with ResHTN at entry and after 3 mos. of intensive drug adjustment. CV risk was high (32% diabetic, 46% hyperlipidemic) with multiple comorbidities. BP, noninvasive HD (thoracic bioimpedance TBI), renal function (Screat) and circulating volume markers (atrial natriuretic peptide ANP, plasma renin activity, PRA) were measured. An RN changed drug Rx at monthly visits under HTN specialist direction. Mean age was 66±2 yrs. BP fell from 171±2/88±2 to 142±2/76±1 mm Hg (p
