Journal ArticleDOI

Absolute and relative changes in carotid intima-media thickness and atherosclerotic plaques during long-term antihypertensive treatment: Further results of the European Lacidipine Study on Atherosclerosis (ELSA)

TL;DR: The relative benefit of lacidipine over atenolol could be measured precisely by reading scans either during the study or at study-end, however, absolute treatment-related changes cannot safely be judged by readings made during a long-term study, unless a longitudinal quality control of readings is performed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The polypill in cardiovascular prevention: evidence, limitations and perspective - position paper of the European Society of Hypertension.

TL;DR: It is argued that the high prevalence of individuals with a multifactorial risk profile provides a strong rationale for a therapeutic strategy based on the combination in a single tablet of drugs against different risk factors, supporting use of the polypill in secondary cardiovascular prevention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prognostic Value of Long-Term Blood Pressure Variability: The Evidence Is Growing

TL;DR: Evidence has been obtained that some of the daily BP peaks and the morning BP rise are independently related to organ damage and the risk of cardiovascular events, and this is also the case for markers of overall BP variability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Blood pressure variability, cardiovascular risk and antihypertensive treatment.

TL;DR: The ability of antihypertensive agents to actually reduce 24-h blood pressure variability needs to be demonstrated in future studies, using beat-to-beat blood pressure monitoring which is now possible by means of non-invasive techniques.
