In resistant hypertension, defined as a failure of concomitant use of three or more different classes of antihypertensive agents to control blood pressure (BP), add-on therapy with mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonists is frequently effective, which we designate as "MR-associated hypertension". The MR-associated hypertension is classified into two subtypes, that with elevated plasma aldosterone levels and that with normal plasma aldosterone levels. The former subtype includes primary aldosteronism (PA), aldosterone-associated hypertension which exh...

Cells that infiltrate by expression of CCR5 are either not pathogenic or CCR5-positive leukocytes can migrate via alternative chemokine receptors. Beneficial effects of CCR5 antagonists in hypertension are most likely due to unspecific effects of the antagonists. Possibly, other chemokine receptors in concert with CCR5 are important for hypertensive injury.American Journal of Hypertension 2012; doi:10.1038/ajh.2011.243.

Renin is synthesized as an enzymatically inactive proenzyme which is constitutively secreted from several tissues. Only renin-expressing cells in the kidney are capable of generating active renin from prorenin, which is stored in prominent vesicles and which is released into the circulation upon demand. The acute release of renin is controlled by cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and by calcium signaling pathways, which in turn are activated by a number of systemic and local factors. Longer lasting challenges of renin secretion lead to changes in the number of renin-producing cells, which occur by a metaplastic transformation of renin cell prec...

Animal studies have evidenced the association between higher blood pressure (BP) and increased oxidative stress, and treatment with antioxidants has been shown to reduce BP, while BP reduction due to antihypertensive drugs is associated with reduced oxidative stress. In 2000, it was first reported that oxidative stress and arterial hypertension were produced in normal Sprague-Dawley rats by oral administration of buthionine sulfoximine (BSO), which induces glutathione (GSH) depletion, indicating that oxidative stress may induce hy...

The presence of other cardiovascular risk factors on top of HT do not alter the concentrations of this oxidative stress marker, only smoking increasing its levels. TNF-α is an independent factor of 8-OHdG. These data suggest that this urinary marker gives specific additional information, further than blood pressure control alone, when evaluating hypertensive patients.

Body sodium content determines the extracellular fluid (ECF) volume ensuring that, with each heart beat, a sufficient volume of fluid is delivered into the arterial space. At the same time the kidneys monitor ECF volume and blood pressure (BP), so that the juxtaglomerular cells can adjust their net secretion rate of renin to maintain an appropriate plasma renin activity (PRA) level. Plasma renin produces angiotensin II (Ang II) to constrict the arterioles and thereby ensure sufficient BP to deliver an appropriate rate of flow for cardiovascular homeostasis. The low renin, sodium-volume dependent (V) form of essential hypertension o...

Lowering blood pressure (BP) to 135/85 mm Hg is the main goal of treatment. A nonpharmcologic approach is recommended in all patients. If BP levels remain above the target despite nonpharmacologic treatment, drug therapy should be initiated. Blockers of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) represent the cornerstone of the antihypertensive drug arsenal; however, in most patients, combination therapy is required. For many patients, a combination of RAAS blocker and calcium antagonist is the combination preferred by the treating physician. Often three or even four drugs are needed.
