Effect of Sequential Nephron Blockade versus Dual Renin-Angiotensin System Blockade Plus Bisoprolol in the Treatment of Resistant Hypertension, a Randomized Controlled Trial (Resistant Hypertension on Treatment - ResHypOT).

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Hypertension is the most important modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease and a leading public health concern.

Objectives

The primary aim was to compare sequential nephron blockade (SNB) versus dual renin-angiotensin system blockade (DRASB) plus bisoprolol in patients with resistant hypertension to observe reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP) levels after 20 weeks of treatment.

Material and methods

This trial was an open-label, prospective, randomized, parallel-group, clinical study with optional drug up-titration. Participants were evaluated during five visits at 28-day intervals.

Results

The mean age was 55.5 years in the SNB and 58.4 years in the DRASB + bisoprolol group (p=NS). Significant office BP reductions were observed in both groups. SNB group, SBP decreased from 174.5±21.0 to 127.0±14.74 mmHg (p<0.0001), and DBP decreased from 105.3±15.5 to 78.11±9.28 mmHg (p<0.0001). DRASB group, SBP decreased from 178.4±21.08 to 134.4 ± 23.25 mmHg (p<0.0001) and DBP decreased from 102.7±11.07 to 77.33±13.75 mmHg (p<0.0001). Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) showed also significant SBP and DBP reductions in both groups (p<0.0001).

Conclusion

In patients with RHTN adherent to treatment, SNB and DRASB plus bisoprolol showed excellent therapeutic efficacy, although SNB was associated with earlier SBP reduction.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Resistant hypertension is characterized when the blood pressure (BP) remains above the recommended goal after taking three antihypertensive drugs with synergistic actions at their maximum recommended tolerated doses, preferably including a diuretic. Identifying the contribution of intravascular volume and serum renin in maintaining BP levels could help tailor more effective hypertension treatment, whether acting on the control of intravascular volume or sodium balance, or acting on the effects of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) on the kidney. METHODS/DESIGN:This is a randomized, open-label, clinical trial is designed to compare sequential nephron blockade and its contribution to the intravascular volume component with dual blockade of the RAAS plus bisoprolol and the importance of serum renin in maintaining BP levels. The trial has two arms: sequential nephron blockade versus dual blockade of the RAAS (with an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor plus a beta-blocker) both added-on to a thiazide diuretic, a calcium-channel blocker and an angiotensin receptor-1 blocker (ARB). Sequential nephron blockade consists in a progressive increase in sodium depletion using a thiazide diuretic, an aldosterone-receptor blocker, furosemide and, finally, amiloride. On the other hand, the dual blockade of the RAAS consists of the progressive addition of an ACE inhibitor until the maximum dose and then the administration of a beta-blocker until the maximum dose. The primary outcomes will be reductions in the systolic BP, diastolic BP, mean BP and pulse pressure (PP) after 20 weeks of treatment. The secondary outcomes will evaluate treatment safety and tolerability, biochemical changes, evaluation of renal function and recognition of hypotension (ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM)). The sample size was calculated assuming an alpha error of 5% to reject the null hypothesis with a statistical power of 80% giving a total of 40 individuals per group. DISCUSSION:In recent years, the cost of resistant hypertension (RH) treatment has increased. Thus, identifying the contribution of intravascular volume and serum renin in maintaining BP levels could help tailor more effective hypertension treatment, whether by acting on the control of intravascular volume or sodium balance, or by acting on the effects of the RAAS on the kidney.

Project description:AimsHypertension is a major contributor to cardiac diastolic dysfunction. Different therapeutics strategies have been proposed to control blood pressure (BP), but their independent impact on cardiac function remains undetermined. In patients with resistant hypertension, we compared the changes in cardiac parameters between two strategies based on sequential nephron blockade (NBD) with a combination of diuretics or sequential renin-angiotensin system blockade (RASB).Methods and resultsAfter a 4-week period where all patients received Irbesartan 300 mg/day + hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg/day + amlodipine 5 mg/day, 140 resistant hypertension patients (54.8 ± 11.1 years, 76% men, mean duration with hypertension: 13.1 ± 10.5 years, no previous history of heart failure or current symptoms of congestive heart failure) were randomized 1:1 to the NBD regimen or to the RASB regimen at week 0 (W0, baseline). Treatment intensity was increased at week 4, 8, or 10 if home BP was ≥135/85 mmHg, by sequentially adding 25 mg spironolactone, 20-40 mg furosemide, and 5 mg amiloride (NBD group) or 5-10 mg ramipril and 5-10 mg bisoprolol (RASB group). No other antihypertensive drug was allowed during the study. BP, BNP levels, and echocardiographic parameters were assessed at weeks 0 and 12. The baseline characteristics, laboratory parameters, and plasma hormones (BNP, renin, and aldosterone) and cardiac echocardiographic parameters did not significantly differ between the NBD and the RASB groups. Over 12 weeks, BNP levels significantly decreased in NBD but increased in RASB (mean [CI 95%] change in log-transformed BNP levels: -43% [-67%; -23%] vs. +55% [46%; 62%] in NBD vs. RASB, respectively, P < 0.0001). Similarly, the proportion of patients presenting ≥2 echocardiographic criteria of diastolic dysfunction decreased between baseline and W12 from 31% to 3% in NBD but increased from 19% to 32% in RASB (P = 0.0048). As compared with RASB, NBD induced greater decrease in ambulatory systolic BP (P < 0.0001), pulse pressure (P < 0.0001), and systemic vascular resistance (P < 0.005). In multivariable linear regression analyses, NBD treatment was significantly associated with decreased BNP levels (adjusted ß: -46.41 ± 6.99, P < 0.0001) independent of age, gender, renal function, and changes in BPs or heart rate.ConclusionsIn patients with resistant hypertension, nephron blockade with a combination of diuretics significantly improves cardiac markers of diastolic dysfunction independently of BP lowering.

Project description:PurposeThis study examined the effects of plasma renin activity (PRA), angiotensin II (Ang II) and aldosterone (PAC) concentrations as well as common polymorphisms in the β1-Adrenoceptor gene (ADRB1) and the G-protein α-Subunit (Gαs) protein gene the G protein α-Subunit 1 gene (GNAS) on the blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) response to bisoprolol in Chinese patients with hypertension.MethodsPatients with sitting clinic systolic BP (SBP) 140-169 mmHg and/or diastolic BP (DBP) 90-109 mmHg after placebo run-in were treated with open-label bisoprolol 2.5 mg daily for 6 weeks. Patients diagnosed as having primary aldosteronism or renal artery stenosis were excluded. PRA, Ang II and PAC concentrations were measured after the placebo run-in and after 6 weeks of treatment. The Ser49Gly and Arg389Gly polymorphisms in ADRB1 and the c.393C > T polymorphism in GNAS were genotyped by the TaqMan® assay.ResultsIn 99 patients who completed the study, baseline PAC levels were significantly associated with baseline DBP and plasma potassium on univariate but not on multivariate linear regression analysis. PRA, Ang II, and PAC concentrations at baseline were not associated with changes in BP with bisoprolol treatment, but the values were all significantly reduced (PRA -0.141 ± 0.595 ng/mL/h, Ang II -2.390 ± 5.171 pmol/L and aldosterone -51.86 ± 119.1 pg/mL; all P < 0.05) following 6 weeks of bisoprolol treatment. There were no significant differences in BP or HR responses in patients with baseline PRA above or below the PRA cut-point of 0.65 ng/mL/h or the median value of 0.9 ng/ml/hour. There were no significant associations of the ADRB1 and GNAS polymorphisms with the clinic and ambulatory BP and HR responses to bisoprolol.ConclusionBaseline PRA, PAC and Ang II concentrations showed no significant association with the BP response to bisoprolol treatment, but all these parameters were reduced after 6 weeks of treatment with bisoprolol. The two common polymorphisms in ADRB1 and the c.393C > T polymorphism in GNAS had no significant association with the BP and HR response to bisoprolol in these patients.

Project description:Background and objectivesSoluble Klotho is an anti-aging phosphaturic protein associated with vascular-renal protection. In vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated that renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockade increases soluble Klotho levels. The effect of RAS blockers on soluble Klotho in patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is unknown.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsPlasma-soluble Klotho was measured in a secondary analysis of a randomized controlled clinical trial performed at a single university hospital center (ClinicalTrials.gov number NCT001715, from March 2003 to September 2006). Seventy-six patients with type 2 diabetes and DKD (all with albuminuria and serum creatinine <1.7 mg/dl) were studied at baseline and at 24 weeks (study end) after randomization to valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide (n=37) or amlodipine (n=39) treatment. Aortic-pulse wave velocity by applanation tonometry and albuminuria (from three timed urine collections) were also measured at baseline and 24 weeks.ResultsValsartan/hydrochlorothiazide treatment significantly increased mean (± SD) soluble Klotho (from 432.7 ± 179 to 506.4 ± 226.8 pg/ml; P=0.01) and reduced serum phosphate (from 3.25 ± 1.18 to 2.60 ± 0.96 mg/dl; P=0.04) compared with amlodipine (from 430.1 ± 145.8 to 411.9 ± 157.6 pg/ml and from 2.94 ± 0.56 to 2.69 ± 1.52 mg/dl, respectively). There was a significant difference between treatment groups in soluble Klotho (mean 91.9 pg/ml; 95% confidence interval, 19.9 to 162) and serum phosphate levels (mean -0.68 mg/dl; 95% confidence interval, -0.15 to -1.33) with valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide treatment (P=0.03 and P=0.04, respectively). Attained BP was similar in the two groups and levels of soluble Klotho were not associated with aortic-pulse wave velocity and albuminuria, variables that fell significantly only with valsartan/hydrochlorothiazide.ConclusionsTreatment with a RAS blocker, valsartan, is associated with an increase in soluble Klotho, which may contribute to the BP-independent cardiorenal benefits of these drugs in DKD.
