Management of Hypertension in Diabetic Nephropathy Patients - Dr. SP Chan
Join Dr. S. P. Chan, Consultant Endocrinologist, as she discusses key principles in managing hypertension in patients with diabetes, with a special focus on diabetic nephropathy.
In this video, Dr. Chan answers frequently asked questions and shares practical insights to help healthcare professionals optimize care and protect kidney health in diabetic patients.
Self-reported single adherence question scored on a visual analogue scale predicts cardiovascular outcomes and mortality
Single self-reported adherence question can help identify patients with low medication adherence and its impact on BP control, LDL-C levels, CV events, and all-cause mortality. This single-question approach can be easily incorporated into routine medical history taking.
Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors versus angiotensin receptor blockers in patients with hypertension
This retrospective study showed that use of ARBs was associated with similar cardiovascular outcomes as compared to the use of ACEi in the management of patients with primary hypertension.
Effect of ARB-based therapy in hypertensive patients with hyperuricemia and microalbuminuria
This study highlighted that ARB monotherapy, and its combination with diuretic or/ CCB, significantly decreased SBP, however, ARB monotherapy and its combination with CCB can improve uric acid and urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR) level in hypertensive patients with hyperuricemia, and microalbuminuria.
Personalized Hypertension Management: Watch Prof. Konstantinos Tsioufis's expert video
ESC/ESH recommend SPC therapy: ACEI/ARB + diuretic/CCB. Though ACEIs and ARBs are equally effective, ARBs are preferred in most patients.1,2
ARBs have been proven to have cardioprotective and renoprotective effects, especially irbesartan.3
RAS blockers (esp. ARBs) + CCBs are preferred agents for hypertension management due to their multiple beneficial effects on the circulatory system4
