    Abstract Arterial blood pressure (BP) is a continuous variable, with a physiology characterized by significant variability stemming from the complex interaction among haemodynamic factors, neuronal reflexes, as well as hormonal, behavioural, and environmental stimuli. The homoeostatic response accounts for the physiologic variability in BP in normotensive individuals, which is more evident in hypertensive patients. Blood pressure variability is a complex phenomenon, which could be classified in various types:

    Abstract It is well recognized that angiotensin II is involved in the pathogenesis of hypertension. Less well recognized - until recently, at least - is its involvement in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. However, it is now evident that angiotensin II promotes oxidative stress, vascular remodelling, inflammation, and the formation of atherosclerotic lesions. These actions, which are mediated almost exclusively by the angiotensin II type 1 (AT(1)) receptor, can be blocked by administration of angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonists (angiotensin receptor blockers [ARBs]). Of the seven ARBs currently in clinical use, olmesartan is one of the most effective. The rapid and consistent antihypertensive efficacy of this drug, which allows a high proportion of patients to achieve their target blood pressure (BP), is associated with beneficial effects on oxidative stress, vascular remodelling, inflammation, and atherosclerotic lesion formation. These effects appear to be independent of the BP-lowering activity of olmesartan. In clinical trials, olmesartan has been shown to control microinflammation in hypertensive patients, to reduce oxidative stress in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and to normalize the wall: lumen ratio of small resistance arteries (a measure of vascular remodelling) in patients with hypertension. Moreover, in a 2-year study involving hypertensive patients with carotid atherosclerosis (the MORE [Multicentre Olmesartan atherosclerosis Regression Evaluation] trial), olmesartan reduced the intima-media thickness of the carotid artery and significantly reduced the volume of large atherosclerotic plaques. These data suggest that olmesartan may reduce cardiovascular risk by simultaneously normalizing BP and reversing the proatherogenic effects of angiotensin II.

    Abstract Objective: Microvascular structural alterations may be considered an important form of hypertension-mediated organ damage. An increased media-to-lumen ratio of subcutaneous small arteries evaluated with locally invasive techniques (micromyography) predicts the development of cardiovascular (CV) events. However, it is not known whether retinal arteriole structural alterations evaluated with a noninvasive approach (Adaptive Optics) may have a prognostic significance.
    Design and methods: Two-hundred and thirty-seven subjects (mean age 58.7 ± 16.1 years, age range 13-89 years; 116 males) were included in the study: 65 normotensive subjects (27.4 %) and 172 patients with essential hypertension or primary aldosteronism (72.6 %). All subjects underwent a non-invasive evaluation of retinal arteriolar wall-to-lumen ratio (WLR) by Adaptive Optics. Subjects were re-evaluated after an average follow-up time of 4.55 years in order to assess the occurrence of clinical events (non CV and/or CV death or events).
    Results: Fifty-four events occurred in the study population:26 were cardio-cerebrovascular events (ischemic or hemorragic stroke, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, cardiac valvular disease) while the remaining were deaths for any cause, or neoplastic diseases. Subjects with events were older and had a WLR of retinal arterioles significantly greater than those without events. The event-free survival was significantly worse in those with a baseline WLR above the median value of the population (0.28) according to Kaplan-Mayer survival curves and multivariate analysis (Cox's proportional hazard model). The evidence was confirmed after restricting the analysis to CV events.
    Conclusions: Structural alterations of retinal arterioles evaluated by Adaptive Optics may predict total and CV events.

    Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia, with a prevalence ranging from 0.1% to 9.0% at different ages, and is associated with increased cardiovascular events and mortality. A significant increase in the prevalence of the disease is expected to occur in the coming years as a consequence of the aging of the population and advances in the management of coronary artery disease and heart failure. Effective rhythm control may be difficult to obtain in a significant proportion of patients with AF. The limited efficacy and the possible adverse effects of antiarrhythmic drugs has led researchers to focus their attention on new molecules, in a search of compounds with antiarrhythmic efficacy and a more favourable safety profile. Among several new drugs developed for the management of AF, dronedarone, a benzofuran derivative that shares many of the antiarrhythmic properties of amiodarone, but with a more favourable safety profile, seems particularly promising. The drug is noniodinated, has less lipophilicity, reaches therapeutic concentrations over a shorter period of time and has lower tissue accumulation. Dronedarone, similarly to amiodarone, exhibits electrophysiologic characteristics of all 4 Vaughan Williams classes. Clinical studies have shown that dronedarone effectively reduces ventricular rate, may prevent or delay the recurrence of AF, and may reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with AF or atrial flutter. The drug has an overall good safety profile, in particular with low pulmonary and thyroid toxicity. An important exception is represented by patients with unstable haemodynamic conditions, in which the use of dronedarone has been found to be associated with an increase in mortality. Dronedarone has been recently approved for clinical use by the Food and Drug Administration and by the European Medicines Agency. Further results from trials and clinical use will better define the efficacy and safety profile of dronedarone in AF compared with other antiarrhythmic drugs and its role in the management of patients with AF.

    Abstract The aim of this article is to briefly review available data regarding changes in the structure of microvessels observed in patients with diabetes mellitus, and possible correction by effective treatment. The development of structural changes in the systemic vasculature is the end result of established hypertension. In essential hypertension, small arteries of smooth muscle cells are restructured around a smaller lumen and there is no net growth of the vascular wall, although in some secondary forms of hypertension, a hypertrophic remodelling may be detected. Moreover, in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus a hypertrophic remodelling of subcutaneous small arteries is present. Indices of small resistance artery structure, such as the tunica media to internal lumen ratio, may have a strong prognostic significance in hypertensive and diabetic patients, over and above all other known cardiovascular risk factors. Therefore, regression of vascular alterations is an appealing goal of antihypertensive treatment. Different antihypertensive drugs seem to have different effect on vascular structure. In diabetic hypertensive patients, a significant regression of structural alterations of small resistance arteries with drugs blocking the renin-angiotensin system (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers) was demonstrated. Alterations in the microcirculation represent a common pathological finding, and microangiopathy is one of the most important mechanisms involved in the development of organ damage as well as of clinical events in patients with diabetes mellitus. Renin-angiotensin system blockade seems to be effective in preventing/regressing alterations in microvascular structure.

    Abstract The approach to hypertensive emergiencies (HE) and urgencies (HU) may be different according to local clinical practice, despite recent guidelines and position papers recommendations. The Italian Society of Hypertension (Società Italiana della Ipertensione Arteriosa, SIIA) developed an online survey, in order to explore the awareness, management and treatment of HU in Italy, sending by e mail a 12 items questionnaire to the members of the SIIA. The results show that the definition of HU was correctly identified by 62% of the responders. Most physicians identified the role of pharmacological therapy or legal/illegal substances abuse as possible cause of BP elevation; the use of a benzodiazepine drugs was considered worthwhile by 65% of responders. The prescription of diagnostic test and drug administration significantly differed from guidelines recommendations and only 57% of the physicians reported to treat HU with oral drug administration. Sub-lingual nifedipine was prescribed by 13% or responders. This survey shows the need to further spread the updated scientific information on the management and treatment of HE and HU, along with the improvement of the interrelationship with the general practitioner health system in Italy.
