New Consortium Paves The Way For Improved Treatment Of Hypertension And Associated Vascular Complications
Source: Hypertension News From Medical News Today [2009.11.18]
Top Institute Pharma (TI Pharma) has formed a consortium with Actelion Pharmaceuticals Ltd, Erasmus Medical Centre and Maastricht University to define new modalities for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) and associated vascular complications such as heart and kidney failure, myocardial infarction and stroke.

Many children with chronic kidney disease may have undetected hypertension, placing them at risk for enlarged hearts and future cardiovascular disease, a cross-sectional study showed.
Key Player Identified In Cascade That Leads To Hypertension-Related Kidney Damage

A key player in a cascade that likely begins with stress and leads to high blood pressure and kidney damage has been identified by researchers who say the finding may lead to better ways to control both. Medical College of Georgia researchers have found endothelin, a powerful blood vessel constrictor and inflammatory peptide, increases the number of T cells in the kidneys, which helps recruit other immune cells, causing inflammation and destruction.
A Recipe For Hypertension: High Fructose Corn Syrup

A diet high in fructose increases the risk of developing high blood pressure (hypertension), according to a paper presented at the American Society of Nephrology's 42nd Annual Meeting and Scientific Exposition in San Diego, California. The findings suggest that cutting back on processed foods and beverages that contain high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) may help prevent hypertension.
Hypertension Guidelines Reappraised In Light Of New Research

A Task Force of the European Society of Hypertension have released the official European guidelines on the management and treatment of hypertension. The guidelines are an update of those published in 2007, and will be published in the November issue of the Journal of Hypertension.
Published Studies Related to Teveten HCT (Eprosartan / Hydrochlorothiazide)
Safety and tolerability of eprosartan in combination with hydrochlorothiazide. [2002]
The ideal antihypertensive drug should be effective in reducing blood pressure, but have a low incidence of adverse effects... Therefore, the combination of eprosartan with hydrochlorothiazide can be effectively and safely used in patients not adequately responding to eprosartan monotherapy.
Clinical Trials Related to Teveten HCT (Eprosartan / Hydrochlorothiazide)
The Effect of Eprosartan on Hormones and Kidney Function in Healthy Humans. [Completed]
We, the investigators at Holstebro Hospital, want to test the hypothesis that eprosartan
reduces the activity of the sympathetic nervous system in healthy individuals - during
baseline conditions and after activation of the sympathetic nervous system.
The Effect of Eprosartan on Hormones and Kidney Function in Patients With Essential Hypertension [Completed]
We, the investigators at Holstebro Hospital, want to test the hypothesis that eprosartan
reduces the activity of the sympathetic nervous system in patients with essential
hypertension - during baseline conditions and after activation of the sympathetic nervous
system.
Comparison of Eprosartan/HCT Versus Enalapril/HCT in Hypertensives With Type II Diabetes [Completed]
Renin-Guided Therapeutics in the Management of Untreated, Uncontrolled, or Complicated Hypertension [Completed]
Plasma renin values determine whether volume or vasoconstrictor (renin) factors predominate
in elevating blood pressure and are useful in selecting effective antihypertensive
therapy. 2,3
The researchers hypothesize that:
1. Plasma renin-guided therapeutics will improve systolic and diastolic blood pressure
control in patients with untreated hypertension as well as in patients with treatment
refractory or resistant hypertension that are managed by Clinical Hypertension
Specialists.
2. Renin-guided therapeutics will reduce the number of medications required to maintain
blood pressure control to <140/90 mmHg in hypertensive patients receiving 3 or more
medications, while under the care of a Clinical Hypertension Specialist.
3. Renin-guided therapeutics selection will reduce the total cost of antihypertensive care
provided by Clinical Hypertension Specialists.
