    Abstract Background: Laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) is the gold standard treatment for unilateral primary aldosteronism. However, satisfactory results have also been published with radiofrequency ablation (RFA). The aim of this study was to compare LA and RFA for the treatment of primary aldosteronism.
    Methods: A retrospective cohort study of the patients who underwent LA or RFA in a single center was performed. Morbidity and long-term effectiveness (cure rate and blood pressure control) were analyzed. A multivariate analysis with a propensity score was also performed.
    Results: Thirty-four patients were included in the study, 24 in the LA group and 10 in the RFA group. Hypertension had been diagnosed a median of 12 years before the intervention. Hypertension was properly controlled before the intervention in 55.9% of the patients. Hypertensive crisis was more common during RFA (4.2% vs. 70.0%, p < 0.001), although no patient suffered any complication because of these crises. LA was longer (174.6 vs. 105.5 min, p = 0.001) and had a longer length of stay (median 2 vs 1 days, p < 0.001). No severe complications were observed in any of the patients. After a median follow-up of 46.2 months, more patients had hypertension cured and blood pressure controlled in the LA group (29.2% vs. 0%, p = 0.078 and 95.5% vs. 50.0%, p = 0.006, respectively). Also, patients in the LA group were taking less antihypertensive drugs (1.8 vs. 3.0, p = 0.054) or mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (41.7% vs. 90.0%, p = 0.020). Multivariate analysis adjusted by propensity score showed that LA had an OR = 11.3 (p = 0.138) for hypertension cure and an OR = 55.1 (p = 0.040) for blood pressure control.
    Conclusions: Although RFA was a less invasive procedure than LA, hypertension was cured and blood pressure was properly controlled in more patients from the LA group. Patients who underwent LA were taking less antihypertensive drugs than patients who had undergone RFA.

    Abstract RESUMEN La hipertensión arterial es el factor de riesgo cardiovascular más prevalente. A pesar del tratamiento farmacológico, un alto porcentaje de pacientes no consiguen un adecuado control. La denervación renal es una intervención mínimamente invasiva para el tratamiento de la hipertensión que implica la interrupción de los nervios simpáticos renales mediante un abordaje con catéter. Los estudios iniciales mostraron resultados prometedores, pero los controvertidos resultados del ensayo SYMPLICITY HTN-3 llevaron al abandono de la técnica. En los últimos 3 años han aparecido los resultados de nuevos ensayos clínicos, con nuevos dispositivos y en diferentes poblaciones, que demuestran definitivamente la eficacia de la denervación renal. En este documento de posicionamiento conjunto de la Sociedad Española de Hipertensión-Liga Española para la Lucha contra la Hipertensión Arterial (SEH-LELHA) y la Asociación de Cardiología Intervencionista de la Sociedad Española de Cardiología (ACI-SEC) se revisa la evidencia disponible sobre la eficacia y la seguridad de la denervación renal en el tratamiento de la hipertensión. A partir de los resultados de los ensayos clínicos, se generan recomendaciones sobre qué pacientes y en qué condiciones podrían ser candidatos a una denervación renal.

    Abstract ABSTRACT Hypertension is the most prevalent cardiovascular risk factor. Despite pharmacological treatment, a high percentage of patients do not achieve an adequate blood pressure control. Renal sympathetic denervation is a minimally invasive intervention for the management of hypertension involving the interruption of the renal artery sympathetic nervous system using a catheter-based approach. The early studies showed promising results, but the controversial results coming from the SYMPLICITY HTN-3 trial sent this technique into oblivion. Over the last 3 years, new clinical trials have appeared including new devices used in different populations, which definitively proves the effectiveness of renal sympathetic denervation. This joint position statement from the Spanish Society of Hypertension-Spanish League for Combating High Blood Pressure (SEH-LELHA), and the Interventional Cardiology Association of the Spanish Society of Cardiology (ACI-SEC) reviews the evidence available on the efficacy and safety profile of renal sympathetic denervation for the management of hypertension. Based on the results of clinical trials, recommendations have been established on what patients may be eligible for renal sympathetic denervation and under what circumstances.

    Abstract Recently, there have been several reports related to the adequacy of blood pressure (BP) control in high-risk hypertensive patients. These aspects have been reviewed in the recently published reappraisal of the European Society of Hypertension guidelines, and this short review comments on and briefly extends the discussion of this situation. In summary, a low BP goal when cardiorenal disease is advanced can be risky. However, attaining normal BP levels at earlier stages in the cardiorenal continuum is probably totally adequate.

    Abstract Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common cause of death in Western countries and will continue to be so in upcoming years. A close correlation has been demonstrated among CVD, stroke, ischemic heart disease, renal failure and a number of modifiable risk factors. As cardiovascular (CV) risk factors commonly co-exist, high-risk patients with hypertension, obesity and diabetes may well benefit from a multiple action combination of CV agents with synergistic efficacy. Control of blood pressure (BP) and the other CV risk factors is still far from the optimal rates and achievement of internationally accepted goals must be imperative. The benefits of achieving these goals, including significant reductions in CV morbidity and mortality, are well documented. Thus, a rigorous effort to improve BP goal attainment is required. Most of the patients will need two or more antihypertensives to achieve BP goal. Administering of two drugs in a single-dose formulation substantially improves patient compliance compared with separate agent administration. Fixed-dose combination therapy can offer potential advantages over individual agents, including increased efficacy, reduced incidence of adverse effects, lower healthcare costs and improved patient compliance through the use of a single medication administered once daily. Currently available fixed-dose agents include several combinations with complementary pharmacodynamic activity. Last, the polypill includes several CV acting agents that affects various CV risk factors and offers encouraging results, although more data are needed to strengthen the polypill concept, its efficacy and safety.

    Abstract Background: Lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and mercury (Hg) are toxic trace elements that represent a public health problem as risk factors for cardiovascular disease and hypertension (HT) and could also contribute to the development of resistant hypertension (rHT) AIMS: To compare the blood concentrations of Pb, Cd and Hg in subjects with resistant and non-resistant HT and to define whether there is a relationship between its levels and rHT.
    Methods: Cross-sectional study. Subjects aged ≥ 21 to ≤ 80 years with a body mass index < 40 kg/m2 were recruited on a discretionary basis from October 2001 to October 2004 in a hypertension unit of a tertiary hospital amongst those sent to the hypertension unit by their family physician. Resistant hypertension was defined according to the American Heart Association (AHA) criteria. Whole blood concentrations of Cd, Pb and Hg were measured by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry.
    Results: 46 out of 73 included subjects (63%) suffered from rHT. Blood Pb median: HT 3.9 (IQR 2.7-5.2) vs. rHT 3.6 (IQR 2.8-6.0) µg/dL (p=0.941). Blood Cd median: HT 0.07 (IQR 0.07-0.80) vs. rHT 0.30 (IQR 0.07-0.65) µg/L (p=0.681). Blood Hg median: HT 7.9 (IQR 5.8-12.9) vs. rHT 7.3 (IQR 4.6-13.3) µg/L (p=0.611). Considering the 75th percentile of each element (Pb: 5.55 µg/dL, Cd: 0.75 µg/L, Hg: 13.15 µg/L), a multiple logistic regression analysis (adjusted for age, BMI, diabetes mellitus, clearance of creatinine and only for Cd the smoking habit) showed an OR = 3.44 (0.84-14.10, p=0.086) for Pb, OR = 1.80 (0.39-8.24, p=0.451), for Cd and OR = 2.31 (0.59-9.14, p=0.232) for Hg. Moreover, the stratified analyses showed that men with Pb ≥5.55 µg/dL have a 14 times higher risk of suffering from rHT (p=0.026). Interestingly, a 9-fold increased risk was found for non-obese subjects with elevated Pb levels, above 5.55 µg/dL (p=0.029). Also in men, the probability of suffering from rHT was more than 7 times higher if Cd levels were ≥ 0.75 µg/L (p=0.076). Most smokers had higher Cd levels, with a high risk of suffering from rHT (ORa 12.6 (0.8-200.2), p=0.072).
    Conclusion: A higher blood Pb levels, defined by the 75th percentile (Pb ≥ 5.55 µg/dL), is associated with a greater risk of suffering from rHT and to a lesser extent in the case of Cd and Hg.

    Abstract Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) continue to be the main cause of death in our country. Adequate control of lipid metabolism disorders is a key challenge in cardiovascular prevention that is far from being achieved in real clinical practice. There is a great heterogeneity in the reports of lipid metabolism from Spanish clinical laboratories, which may contribute to its poor control. For this reason, a working group of the main scientific societies involved in the care of patients at vascular risk, has prepared this document with a consensus proposal on the determination of the basic lipid profile in cardiovascular prevention, recommendations for its realization and unification of criteria to incorporate the lipid control goals appropriate to the vascular risk of the patients in the laboratory reports.
