    Abstract Uncontrolled hypertension drives the global burden of increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality. Although high blood pressure (BP) is treatable and preventable, only half of the patients with hypertension undergoing treatment have their BP controlled. The failure of polypharmacy to attain adequate BP control may be due to a lack of physiological response, however, medication non-adherence and clinician inertia to increase treatment intensity are critical factors associated with poor hypertension management. The long-time medication titration, lifelong drug therapy, and often multi-drug treatment strategy are frustrating when the BP goal is not achieved, leading to increased CVD risk and a substantial burden on the healthcare system. Growing evidence indicates that neurohumoral activation is critical in initiating and maintaining elevated BP and its adverse consequences. Over the past decades, device-based therapies targeting the mechanisms underlying hypertension pathophysiology have been extensively studied. Among these, robust clinical experience for hypertension management exists for renal denervation (RDN) and baroreflex activation therapy (BAT), carotid body denervation (CBD), central arteriovenous anastomosis, and to a lesser extent, deep brain stimulation. Future studies are warranted to define the role of device-based approaches as an alternative or adjunctive treatment option to treat hypertension.

    Abstract Purpose of review: The goal of this article is to characterize the endothelium's role in the development of hypertension and dyslipidemia and to point out promising therapeutic directions.
    Recent findings: Dyslipidemia may facilitate the development of hypertension, whereas the collaboration of these two silent killers potentiates the risk of atherosclerosis. The common pathophysiological denominator for hypertension and dyslipidemia is endothelial cell dysfunction, which manifests as dysregulation of homeostasis, redox balance, vascular tone, inflammation, and thrombosis. Treatment focused on mediators acting in these processes might be groundbreaking. Metabolomic research on hypertension and dyslipidemia has revealed new therapeutic targets. State-of-the-art solutions integrating interview, clinical examination, innovative imaging, and omics profiles along with artificial intelligence have been already shown to improve patients' risk stratification and treatment. Pathomechanisms underlying hypertension and dyslipidemia take place in the endothelium. Novel approaches involving endothelial biomarkers and bioinformatics advances could open new perspectives in patient management.

    Abstract Considering the pathophysiology and clinical presentation of heart failure, using diuretics or drugs with diuretic properties is indispensable for adequate management of heart failure patients. However, in clinical practice, fluid expansion is often undiagnosed, and diuretic therapy is not always adequately titrated. Today, several drug classes with diuretic properties are available in addition to classical thiazides, thiazide-like, and loop diuretics. The purpose of this short review is to discuss different ways to optimize diuretic therapy using currently available drugs. Several approaches are considered, including a combination of diuretics to obtain a sequential nephron blockade, use of a drug combining a blocker of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and an inhibitor of the metabolism of natriuretic peptides (ARNI), prescription of potassium binders to maintain and up-titrate RAS blockers and mineralocorticoid antagonists, and finally use of inhibitors of renal reabsorption of glucose through the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 system. Optimal use of these various drug classes should improve the quality of life and reduce the need for hospital admissions and mortality in heart failure patients.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Hypertension prevention and cardiovascular risk reduction are cornerstones in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Potential applicability of nontraditional cardiovascular risk reduction methods, such as pet ownership, raises a growing interest.
    Recent findings: Studies show that having pets may reduce the risk of death from any cause, particularly from cardiovascular causes. Furthermore, results of some studies indicate that having pets may reduce the risk of developing hypertension and improve blood pressure control in patients with established hypertension. In addition, there is evidence that having pets may improve the prognosis of patients after myocardial infarction and stroke. One of the most important cardioprotective mechanisms of pet ownership is reduction in activity of the sympathetic nervous system. Pet ownership has a positive effect on the cardiovascular system, likely related to antihypertensive and cardioprotective mechanisms.

    Abstract Purpose: Wake-up stroke constitutes up to 1/4 of all ischaemic strokes; however, its pathomechanisms remain largely unknown. Although low nocturnal blood flow may be the underlying cause, little is known about blood pressure (BP) characteristic of wake-up stroke patients. The aim of our study was to look for differences in BP variables between wake-up stroke and known-onset stroke patients and to seek BP indices which could distinguish wake-up stroke patients from other stroke patients.
    Materials and methods: In the study, we included ischaemic stroke patients in whom office BP measurement and Ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) were recorded at day 7, after acute hypertensive response. The daytime period was defined as the interval from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. From ABPM, we obtained parameters of BP variability. Additionally, we calculated the BP percentage differences defined as (supine office BP-average daytime BP)/average daytime BP for systolic, diastolic, and mean blood pressure. We calculated analogous indices for night-time. The univariate and multivariate relationships between BP variables and wake-up stroke were analysed.
    Results: Among the recruited 120 patients (aged 61.6 ± 12.3; 88 [73%] males; the baseline National Institutes of Health stroke scale score 4 [3-8]), 36 (30%) had wake-up stroke. In a univariate analysis, the systolic and mean daytime and night-time BP differences were significantly lower in patients with wake-up stroke [(-1.92 (-11.55 to 3.95) vs 4.12 (-2.48 to 11.31), p = 0.006 and -6.20 (-12.32 to 7.42) vs 2.00 (-6.86 to 11.65), p = 0.029 for daytime, respectively; 0.00 (-9.79 to 11.82) vs 9.84 (0.00 to 18.25), p = 0.003 and 0.51 (-8.49 to 12.08) vs 7.82 (-2.47 to 20.39), p = 0.026, for night-time, respectively]. After adjustment for possible confounders, the systolic BP difference remained significantly associated with wake-up stroke (odds ratio = 0.96, 95% confidence interval = 0.92-1.00, p = 0.039).
    Conclusion: The subacute office-ambulatory BP difference including the dynamic (systolic BP), but not static BP component was independently associated with wake-up stroke.
