    Abstract Background: The prevalence of medication nonadherence in the setting of resistant hypertension (RH) varies from 5% to 80% in the published literature. The aim of this systematic review was to establish the overall prevalence of nonadherence and evaluate the effect of the method of assessment on this estimate.
    Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane, CINAHL, and Web of Science (database inception to November 2020) were searched for relevant articles. We included studies including adults with a diagnosis of RH, with some measure of adherence. Details about the method of adherence assessment were independently extracted by 2 reviewers. Pooled analysis was performed using the random effects model and heterogeneity was explored with metaregression and subgroup analyses. The main outcome measured was the pooled prevalence of nonadherence and the prevalence using direct and indirect methods of assessment.
    Results: Forty-two studies comprising 71,353 patients were included. The pooled prevalence of nonadherence was 37% (95% confidence interval [CI] 27%-47%) and lower for indirect methods (20%, 95% CI 11%-35%), than for direct methods (46%, 95% CI 40%-52%). The study-level metaregression suggested younger age and recent publication year as potential factors contributing to the heterogeneity.
    Conclusions: Indirect methods (pill counts or questionnaires) are insufficient for diagnosis of nonadherence, and report less than half the rates as direct methods (direct observed therapy or urine assays). The overall prevalence of nonadherence in apparent treatment RH is extremely high and necessitates a thorough evaluation of nonadherence in this setting.

    Abstract Hypertension is the single most important and modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. Non pharmacologic interventions, in particular dietary modifications have been established to decrease blood pressure (BP) and hypertension related adverse cardiovascular events. Among those dietary modifications, sodium intake restriction dominates guidelines from professional organizations and has garnered the greatest attention from the mainstream media. Despite guidelines and media exhortations, dietary sodium intake globally has not noticeably changed over recent decades. Meanwhile, increasing dietary potassium intake has remained on the sidelines, despite similar BP-lowering effects. New research reveals a potential mechanism of action, with the elucidation of its effect on natriuresis via the potassium switch effect. Additionally, potassium-substituted salt has been shown to not only reduce BP, but also reduce the risk for stroke and cardiovascular mortality. With these data, we argue that the focus on dietary modification should shift from a sodium-focused to a sodium- and potassium-focused approach with an emphasis on intervention strategies which can easily be implemented into clinical practice.

    Abstract Accurate assessment of blood pressure (BP) is the cornerstone of hypertension management. The objectives of this study were to quantify the effect of medical personnel presence during BP measurement by automated oscillometric BP (AOBP) and to compare resting office BP by AOBP to daytime average BP by 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM). This study is a prospective randomized cross-over trial, conducted in a referral population. Patients underwent measurements of casual and resting office BP by AOBP. Resting BP was measured as either unattended (patient alone in the room during resting and measurements) or as partially attended (nurse present in the room during measurements) immediately prior to and after 24-h ABPM. The primary outcome was the effect of unattended 5-min rest preceding AOBP assessment as the difference between casual and resting BP measured by the Omron HEM 907XL. Ninety patients consented and 78 completed the study. The mean difference between the casual and Omron unattended systolic BP was 7.0 mm Hg (95% confidence interval [CI] 4.5, 9.5). There was no significant difference between partially attended and unattended resting office systolic BP. Resting office BP (attended and partially attended) underestimated daytime systolic BP load from 24-h ABPM. The presence or absence of medical personnel does not impact casual office BP which is higher than resting office AOBP. The requirement for unattended rest may be dropped if logistically challenging. Casual and resting office BP readings by AOBP do not capture the complexity of information provided by the 24-h ABPM.

    Abstract We present a case of severe renal artery stenosis that mimicked rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis with acute kidney injury, active urine sediments, and severe hypertension. Simultaneous presence of secondary hyperaldosteronism and hypokalemia prompted renal angiography and subsequent renal artery angioplasty and stenting, leading to rapid resolution of acute kidney injury, proteinuria, and hypertension. This case emphasises the importance and benefits of prompt diagnosis and revascularisation of acute severe renal artery stenosis in a patient with history of atherosclerotic renovascular disease presenting with sudden onset of severe hypertension and acute kidney injury with active urine sediment mimicking rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis.

    Abstract The authors present a case of a patient who experienced a rare complication after attempted renal angioplasty and stenting, Page kidney. This patient presented with new onset hypertension secondary to bilateral renal artery stenosis and was referred for revascularization given hypertension refractory to medical management. The right renal artery underwent successful angioplasty and stenting; however, the left renal artery experienced recoil stenosis. Post-procedure the patient developed acute kidney injury secondary to Page kidney from subcapsular and extracapsular hematoma. This was managed conservatively with transfusions and the hematoma and acute kidney injury self-resolved over the next 4 months. This case highlights the importance of revascularization for refractory hypertension secondary to hemodynamically significant bilateral renal artery stenosis, the rare complication of Page kidney with attempted revascularization of renal artery stenosis and the involvement of a hypertension specialist in the decision of revascularization of renal artery stenosis.
