We assessed whether nifedipine GITS 30 mg BID improved blood pressure control when compared with nifedipine GITS 60 mg daily.METHODSUnblinded, randomized controlled trial, at a single academic hospital from December 2021 to December 2023. Individuals between 220/7 and 335/7 weeks of gestation diagnosed with preeclampsia with severe features were randomized to nifedipine GITS 60 mg QD or 30 mg BID once the decision to increase the total daily dose was made. The primary outcome was the percentage of suboptimal blood pressures on hours 24 to 48 after randomization, defined as the ratio of systolic ≥150 mm Hg and diastolic ≥100 mm Hg blood pressure episodes divided by the total number of blood pressures taken during the collection time period.RESULTSThe percentage of suboptimal blood pressure from hours 24 to 48 was similar between groups (60 mg daily: 34.2±29.4% versus 30 mg BID: 32.8±34.0%; P=0.87). The need for any emergent antihypertensive treatment during the blood pressure collection period was higher in the 60 mg daily group (46.2% versus 14.8%; P=0.03). Secondary outcomes including gestational age at delivery and number of increases in long-acting antihypertensive regimen were similar.CONCLUSIONSNifedipine GITS dosed 60 mg daily and 30 mg BID has similar rates of suboptimal blood pressure in individuals with preeclampsia with severe features. However, there is a reduction in the need for emergent antihypertensive treatment for severe range blood pressures with BID dosing, which would favor its use in this population.","PeriodicalId":13042,"journal":{"name":"Hypertension","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144103779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to perform the largest meta-analysis to date comparing conventional and advanced echocardiographic features in HDP against healthy pregnancy.METHODSPubMed (MEDLINE) and EMBASE were systematically searched for research articles published up to March 2024. Included studies reported at least 1 relevant echocardiographic parameter in pregnancies complicated by HDP and normotensive healthy pregnancies separately. A total of 53 studies met the inclusion criteria, comprising 7168 participants (3381 HDP and 3787 controls).RESULTSMyocardial mechanics, as measured by global longitudinal strain (weighted mean difference (WMD), -2.81% [95% CI, -3.70 to -1.91]; P<0.001) and left atrial reservoir strain (WMD, -9.36% [95% CI, -12.73 to -5.99]; P<0.001), were significantly impaired in HDP compared with healthy pregnancy. Furthermore, there were prominent cardiac structural differences, with significantly greater left ventricular mass index (WMD, 12.20 [95% CI, 9.77-14.64]; P<0.001), relative wall thickness (WMD, 0.055 [95% CI, 0.04-0.07]; P<0.001), left atrial size (WMD, 2.34 cm [95% CI, 1.62-3.06]; P<0.001), and left atrial volume index (WMD, 2.38 mL/m2 [95% CI, 1.44-3.32]; P<0.001) in HDP compared with healthy pregnancy. Finally, the ratio between early mitral inflow velocity and early mitral annular velocity average was significantly greater in HDP (WMD, 1.90 [95% CI, 1.42-2.38; P<0.001), indicative of an elevated left ventricular filling pressure.CONCLUSIONSThis meta-analysis highlights clinically relevant differences in echocardiographic measures between HDP and healthy pregnancy. These results may enhance the utilization of echocardiography for the risk stratification and management of women with HDP. Advanced myocardial mechanics, including global longitudinal strain and left atrial reservoir strain, likely play a key role in detecting subclinical myocardial dysfunction and guidance for early intervention.","PeriodicalId":13042,"journal":{"name":"Hypertension","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":8.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143945406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To use it in young people to identify those who may be at increased cardiovascular disease risk, reference values need to be determined. The Youth Vascular Consortium is a large, international database which was established to investigate vascular aging in youth. Using data from the Youth Vascular Consortium, this study aimed to develop reference values for aortic PWV in healthy young people.METHODSThis is a retrospective, multicenter study. Data on demographics, anthropometric, biochemical, and vascular aging measures from participants aged 1 year to 40 years were harmonized. Generalized additive models were used to derive percentile curves for PWV and predicted percentiles at years of age were reported by sex, continent, and device.RESULTSData from 19 930 participants (mean age=17 years, 51% female, 71% European), classified as healthy based on blood pressure, body mass index, serum glucose, and cholesterol levels, were included to construct the reference values. Six devices were used to assess aortic PWV (29% SphygmoCor). Device-specific percentile curves for aortic PWV were constructed, and an increasing trend was identified for both sexes with age.CONCLUSIONSThis study provided reference values for aortic PWV assessed with 6 devices for healthy young people by age and sex.
