Abstract
The aim – to evaluate the incidence of cardiovascular and renal complications and its predictors in resistant hypertensive (RH) patients during the long-term follow-up.
Materials and methods. The frequency of cardiovascular and renal events was studied in 240 true resistant hypertensive patients. The duration of observation was 5.1±0.1 years. The comparison group consisted of 228 patients with controlled arterial hypertension (CAH) on a triple combination antihypertensive therapy. Cardiovascular endpoints included stroke/transient ischemic attack, myocardial infarction, cardiovascular death, myocardial revascularization, development of atrial fibrillation, hospitalization due to heart failure, and lower limb arterial disease. Kidney outcomes included dialysis or GFR decline by 40 % or greater. All the endpoints formed a composite primary endpoint. New cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus were also estimated.
Results and discussion. The patients with resistant hypertension on multi-component antihypertensive therapy and significant reduction in arterial blood pressure (BP) levels (achievement of controlled office BP in 49.6 % of patients, office and ambulatory BP in 34.2 % of patients), maintained a higher risk of cardiovascular and renal events compared to patients with controlled arterial hypertension. It was found that the frequency of occurrence of the composite primary endpoint in resistant hypertensive patients was four times higher than in the group of patients with controlled hypertension – 30.0 % (72/240) versus 7.0 % (16/228) (p=0.001). The frequency of new cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus in patients with RH exceeded compared to CAH patients by 3.7 times (p=0.03).
Conclusions. Independent predictors of the risk of cardiovascular and renal complications in patients with RH were the initial indicators of circulating endothelial progenitor cells if their concentration in the blood was ≤ 1818 cells/ml (HR 0.41; 95 % CI (0.21–0.79); p=0.007), the content of citrulline in the blood is more than 68 μmol/l (HR 1.13; 95 % CI (1.07–1.20); p<0.001); value of initial average daily systolic BP > 163 mm Hg (HR 1.10; 95 % CI (1.03–1.18); p=0.008).
