Association of Synchronous Four-limb blOod pRessure and Pulse Wave velocIty With Cardiovascular Events

A multicenter prospective registry planned to recruit more than 100 000 patients 50 years old and older was carried out in China. This primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the association of synchronous four-limb blood pressure and pulse wave velocity with cardiovascular events. The secondary purpose was to evaluate the incidence rate,prevalence rate, value of diagnosis for peripheral arterial occlusive disease, and to follow up the effects of revascularization on cardiovascular events.

Matão Controlling Hypertension (MatCH Study): Rationale and Design

Background Hypertension is the main risk factor for most cardiovascular diseases. Blood pressure (BP) control has been shown to reduce the incidence of stroke, myocardial infarction, renal diseases and heart failure. Although BP lowering is effective, few population programs can achieve BP control. A coordinated and organized system from the Brazilian Ministry of Healthy involving Family Health Strategy (FHS), a program for the prevention of chronic disease, and the Popular Pharmacy Program (PPP), which subsidizes medications for the population, could allow an earlier identification and better BP control. Matão Controlling Hypertension (MatCH) is a community-based population project that aims to apply an organized, integrated and coordinated program in the city of Matão, Brazil, involving FSH and PPP in order to actively search, treat and follow-up hypertensive subjects. Method This is a population community-based, prospective, interventional, follow-up study where all subjects aged ? 40 years assisted by the FHS program in Matão will have BP assessed monthly by trained Community Health Agents (CHA) during a domiciliary visit. Identified hypertensive subjects will be referred to FHS physicians for nonpharmacological and pharmacological treatment. Most of the hypertensive drugs used will be available thought the PPP. Prevalence of hypertension, awareness, demographics and risk factors will be correlated with BP control. The population study is expected to involve approximately 15,000 subjects. The study period will be four years. Discussion Considering that hypertension is asymptomatic in most cases, to reduce the population burden of BP-related deaths and diseases it is essential to detect and treat early all hypertensive patients. If BP control be achieved on a large scale, this program can be applied to other populations from developing countries.

Non-Invasive Aortic Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring for The Detection of Target Organ Damage in The Chinese Population

This study is a sub-investigation of SAFAR study. Consecutive patients with established hypertension (treated or untreated with antihypertensive drugs) or with suspected hypertension are recruited and their 24-hour brachial and aortic blood pressures, cardiovascular risk factors and target organ damage are assessed. And the participants' target organ damage, cardiovascular events, cardiovascular and overall mortality will be followed four years later.
