A high incidence of cardiovascular risk misclassification and underestimation of high-risk patients prevails among primary care physicians. In addition, it has been observed that treatment goals of hypertension as recommended by guidelines are not followed in the primary healthcare setting. Therefore, there exists a large percentage of the population with uncontrolled hypertension in India. We aimed at developing a framework for the effective management of hypertension and cardiovascular-renal risk in the presence of comorbidities for clinicians/healthcare providers. An online advisory board meeting with eminent cardiologists from across India was conducted to understand their perspectives on the management of hypertension across the cardiovascular-renal continuum. The outcomes of the meeting were summarized following a literature review of cardiorenal disorders, stroke, and heart failure risk in hypertensive patients. Furthermore, optimal treatment of hypertension in patients with a high risk of coronary artery disease, stroke, and chronic kidney disease and the choice of angiotensin receptor blockers in these patients were suggested. The advisory board meeting provided management strategies for patients with hypertension across the cardiovascular-renal continuum considering the increased risk of heart failure and death in the Indian setting.

Background: Transthoracic echocardiography is a noninvasive method commonly used to assess the right ventricular function in patients with pulmonary hypertension. Aim of study: To determine the role of transthoracic echocardiography parameters (GLSRV, TAPSE, RVs, FAC & RIMP) to assess the right ventricular function in patients with pulmonary hypertension in correlation with functional capacity (six-min walk distance) and trans-catheter mean PAP. Patients and methods: This is a cross sectional study including patients with pulmonary hypertension aged more than18 years at Baghdad Heart Center and Ibn Al-Baitar Heart Center from May 2019 to May 2020. All patients underwent echocardiography examination with estimation of following parameters (LVEF, FAC, TAPSE, RVs, RIMP, PASP, TR velocity, mean PAP, GLSRV) and all patients underwent six-minute walking distance test and Right heart catheterization to assess the functional capacity and pulmonary artery pressure respectively. Results: 40 patients with varied WHO classifications of pulmonary hypertension (mean age 41.58±15.49 years) and male to female ratio were included in the research (1:1.2). GLSRV had a negative linear connection with TAPSE (P=0.015) and RVs` (P=0.017) but not FAC or RIMP. The 6-MWD correlated positively with GLSRV (P = 0.011). Echo and right heart catheterization mean PAP measurements correlated (P value <0.0001). Right heart catheterization severity of pulmonary hypertension correlated with RV function echo parameters like FAC (p=0.020). Conclusion: Global longitudinal strain of right ventricle showed high ability to detect early stage of RV failure in patients with pulmonary hypertension with high agreement of RV failure detection with 6-MWD& echocardiography parameters like RIMP & FAC.

In case reports early repolarization (ER) is associated with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. In smaller case analyses ER is a discussable risk marker. Furthermore, the association with inversions of right precordial T-waves should be analysed. Method: In a cohort of 360 patients with typical ESC/ISFC criteria of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (176 males, mean age 47.3 +/- 13.7 years) the presentation with ER and the risk assessment for sudden cardiac arrest was analyzed. Results: A total of 113 cases (31%) with inferior (22%), inferolateral (3%), and lateral (6%) notching or slurring was presented as typical signs of early repolarization syndrome. Together with the results of ajmaline challenge it is in close relation with the number of right precodial T-wave inversions. Early repolarization does not identify patients at risk for sudden cardiac arrest. In single cases the risk was increased in cases with ST elevation in early repolarization pattern as primary electrical disease. Conclusions: The number of early repolarization pattern in typical arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy is increased and relates to the number of right precordial T-wave inversions of 55% in this cohort. Early repolarization is generally not a risk marker, but in single cases overlapping primary electrical disease can be documented.

Coarctation of the aorta is an obstructive aortic lesion that causes secondary hypertension. Diagnosis is sometimes difficult because patients could present no other symptom. Aortic coarctation determines a favorable anatomical condition for the development of endocarditis-endarteritis due to the presence of an alteration in blood flow dynamics that favors the appearance of endothelial damage and the adhesion of microorganisms. We present a case of a patient affected with a previously unknown aortic coarctation with high blood pressure, who developed infective endocarditis-endarteritis. The Physical examination and echocardiography clinical established the diagnosis. This case report underlines the importance of a complete echocardiography that includes the suprasternal view especially in young patients with a history of hypertension.
