    Abstract Blocking the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) is one of the most effective ways of reducing blood pressure in patients with resistant hypertension and improving cardiovascular prognosis in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and left ventricular dysfunction after myocardial infarction. Blockade of the biological effects of aldosterone has mostly been achieved with spironolactone and eplerenone, the two steroidal MR antagonists currently on the market. Development of new non-steroidal dihydropyridine-based third- and fourth-generation MR antagonists is ongoing. These antagonists are highly selective for the MR, but have no effect on the glucocorticoid, androgen, progesterone and estrogen receptors, in contrast with spironolactone.

    Title translation New invasive therapies for management of resistant hypertension.
    Abstract The failure of pharmacological approaches to treat resistant hypertension has stimulated interest in invasive device-based treatments. New catheter systems using radiofrequency or ultrasound energy have been developed, allowing a percutaneous endovascular approach to renal denervation for patients with resistant hypertension. To date, this technique has been evaluated only in a few open-label trials including small numbers and the available evidence suggests a favorable blood pressure-lowering effect in the short-term and a low incidence of immediate complications. All studies published to date have several limitations due to their open-label design. Carotid baroreceptor stimulation requires surgical implantation of electrodes connected to a stimulator. Preliminary results show a positive effect on blood pressure with a complication rate similar to the implantation of a pacemaker. In this context, there are arguments against an uncontrolled use of these procedures in routine practice: an unknown benefit/risk ratio, a variable blood pressure response, absence of cost-effectiveness evaluation. The indications of these procedures should follow the 2013 European Society of Hypertension guidelines. A strict follow-up of patients remains necessary at best by including them in clinical trials or international registries.

    Title translation Combined blockade of the renin-angiotensin system.
    Abstract Blockade of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) with angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACEI) inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB) has become a major therapeutic tool. Due to internal counter-regulation, however, this system cannot be fully blocked by targeting only one of its components. Instead of increasing the doses of an ACEI, an ARB or a renin inhibitor, blocking RAS at two successive levels neutralizes the consequences of internal counter-regulation and thus provides a more complete blockade with more pronounced biological effects. Additive effects on blood pressure lowering and on renin secretion during combined administration of RAS blockers were first demonstrated in normotensive subjects and in various experimental models of hypertension, heart failure and renal failure. Although combined RAS blockade provided an additional hemodynamic response and more complete neutralization of the cellular effects of angiotensin II, no benefit was observed in terms of cardiovascular or renal protection in heart disease (heart failure, post-myocardial infarction, high vascular risk) or kidney disease (diabetic nephropathy). Moreover, more complete RAS blockade is risky in conditions where blood pressure and renal perfusion are renin-dependent (renal failure and hypotension) and also in hypoaldosteronism (hyperkalemia). The European, French and US. health agencies have contraindicated combined RAS blockade because of its unfavorable risk-benefit balance, especially in patients with diabetes or renal failure.

    Abstract Introduction: A major issue confronting clinicians treating hypertension in pregnancy is the limited number of pharmacological options. Endovascular catheter-based renal denervation (RDN) is a new method to lower blood pressure (BP) in patients with hypertension by reducing the activity of the renal sympathetic nervous system. Drugs that affect this system are safe in pregnant women. So there is reasonable evidence that RDN performed before pregnancy should not have deleterious effects for the fetus. Because the efficacy of RDN may be greater in younger patients and in women, we may expect a larger proportion of BP normalisation in young hypertensive women, but this remains to be proven. Our primary objective is to quantify the proportion of BP normalisation with RDN in this population.
    Methods and analysis: WHY-RDN is a multicentre randomised sham-controlled trial conducted in six French hypertension centres that will include 80 women with essential hypertension treated or untreated, who are planning a pregnancy in the next 2 years and will be randomly assigned to RDN or classic renal arteriography and sham RDN in a ratio of 1:1. The primary outcome is the normalisation of 24-hour BP (<130/80 mm Hg) at 2-month post procedure off treatment. Sample size is calculated with the following assumptions: 5% one-sided significance level (α), 80% power (1-β), expected responder rates of 24% and 3% in the treatment and control group, respectively. Secondary outcomes include the absence of adverse outcomes for a future pregnancy, the variations of BP in ambulatory and home BP measurements and the evaluation of treatment prescribed.
    Ethics and dissemination: WHY-RDN has been approved by the French Ethics Committee (Tours, Region Centre, Ouest 1- number 2021T1-28 HPS). This project is being carried out in accordance with national and international guidelines. The findings of this study will be disseminated by publication.

    Abstract Hypertension (HTN) affects more than 30% of adults worldwide. It is the most frequent modifiable cardiovascular (CV) risk factor, and is responsible for more than 10 million death every year. Among patients with HTN, we usually distinguish secondary HTN, that is HTN due to an identified cause, and primary HTN, in which no underlying cause has been found. It is estimated that secondary hypertension represents between 5 and 15% of hypertensive patients [1]. Therefore, routine screening of patients for secondary HTN would be too costly and is not recommended. In addition to the presence of signs suggesting a specific secondary cause, screening is based on specific criteria. Identifying secondary HTN can be beneficial for patients in certain situations, because it may lead to specific treatments, and allow better control of blood pressure and sometimes even a cure. Besides, it is now known that secondary HTN are more associated with morbidity and mortality than primary HTN. The main causes of secondary HTN are endocrine and renovascular (mainly due to renal arteries abnormalities). The most frequent endocrine cause is primary aldosteronism, which diagnosis can lead to specific therapies. Pheochromocytoma and Cushing syndrome also are important causes, and can have serious complications. Other causes are less frequent and can be suspected on specific situations. In this article, we will describe the endocrine causes of HTN and discuss their treatments.

    Title translation Secondary hypertension in women.
    Abstract The two main non-iatrogenic causes of secondary hypertension in women of childbearing age are primary aldosteronism and renal fibromuscular dysplasia. It is recommended to look for a secondary hypertension in women who remain hypertensive three months after pregnancy, in patients under 40 years of age or in patients with a grade 3 HTN (BP≥180/110mm Hg) (Professional agreement). It is suggested that the initial assessment of a secondary HTN in women is performed by a HTN specialist; it will include an assessment of renin and aldosterone concentrations and an angio-CT of the renal arteries (or angio-MRI if contraindicated) (Grade C - Class 2).

    Title translation What is resistant hypertension and how to diagnose it?
    Abstract WHAT IS RESISTANT HYPERTENSION AND HOW TO DIAGNOSE IT?. High blood pressure is one of the leading factors influencing the cardiovascular risk. Despite current knowledge on the management of hypertension and the numerous antihypertensive drugs available, hypertension remains insufficiently controlled and part of these « uncontrolled » patients meet the definition of resistant hypertension. Resistant hypertension is defined by the failure to achieve blood pressure target (office blood pressure smaller than 140/90 mm Hg) despite appropriate treatment with optimal doses of three antihypertensive drugs, ideally a combination of a renin angiotensin system blocker, a calcium channel blocker and a diuretic. Pseudoresistance should be excluded by using 24 h ambulatory blood pressure or home blood pressure measurements. The management of resistant hypertension includes the identification of lifestyle factors such as obesity, excessive alcohol and dietary sodium intake, volume overload, drug-induced hypertension and the screening of secondary forms of hypertension. The treatment associates lifestyle changes, reinforcement of adherence to treatment, discontinuation of interfering substances, association of antihypertensive drugs on top of the initial triple therapy, especially aldosterone antagonists (spironolactone) as fourth line treatment. Follow-up should be based on home blood pressure.
