Background: Essential hypertension (HTN) is a chronic disease, which is associated with a reduction in the health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Most studies have examined the relationship between HRQoL and medical or sociodemographic features, whereas the implementation of tasks related to increasing the HRQoL is not possible without taking psychological factors into account. Studies highlight the importance of emotion regulation in the course and treatment of HTN as well as in the development of psychological interventions for hypertensive patients. The purpose of the study is to investigate the relationship between cognitive emotion regulation strategies and the HRQoL in hypertensive patients. Material and methods: 30 patients with HTN (21 women and 9 men) aged 44–85 (M = 64.6, SD = 10.0) were recruited in Bydgoszcz (Poland). The patients filled out the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire and the World Health Organization Quality of Life–BREF questionnaire. Results: All maladaptive cognitive coping strategies (e.g., catastrophizing, blaming others or rumination) were not related to HRQoL, whereas most adaptive cognitive coping strategies (positive reappraisal, refocus on planning or putting into perspective) were positively correlated with the HRQoL. In particular, positive reappraisal strategy has a highly significant role for the HRQoL in hypertensive patients. Conclusions: The role of adaptive cognitive coping strategies is significant in terms of implementing appropriate psychological support, including the improvement of the HRQoL for patients with HTN. Practical applications of the study are being discussed.

Background: The are conflicting reports on the effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB) continued treatment on clinical outcomes in COVID-19 patients. Material and methods: Patients presented with symptoms suggestive of COVID-19 infection were enrolled between 5 April 2021,and 5 June 2021. Patients who survived acute stage of the disease were asked to attend out-patient clinic after six months following COVID-19 infection diagnosis. Results: A total of 162 patients were enrolled in this study. ARB users showed significant independent association with lower fatality rate as compared to ACEI/ARB-naïve patients [OR (CI) = 0.1(0.0-0.5), p = 0.01]. The prevalence of respiratory support use and intensive care unit (ICU) admission was numerically, but not statically significant, lower among ARB users than non-ARB users. The distribution of in-hospital adverse outcome was numerically lower among ACEI users than in non ACEI users, though the association did not reach statistical significance. ARB users showed significant independent association with persistent cough [OR (CI) = 2 (1.1-10), p = 0.02]. No significant differences in other long term symptoms were found between ARB users and nonusers. On the other hand, chest pain showed higher prevalence among ACEI users than in non-ACEI users. After adjusting for baseline comorbidities, chest pain association with ACEI user was not persisted. No significant differences in other long term symptoms were found between ACEI users and nonusers. Conclusion: ARB and ACEI users showed low prevalence of in-hospital adverse outcome compared to ARB/ACEI nonusers. ARB showed significant and independent association with persistent cough.
背景:关于血管紧张素转换酶抑制剂(ACEI)或血管紧张素II受体阻滞剂(ARB)持续治疗对COVID-19患者临床结局的影响,有相互矛盾的报道。材料和方法:在2021年4月5日至2021年6月5日期间入组出现COVID-19感染症状的患者。急性期存活的患者被要求在COVID-19感染诊断后6个月后到门诊就诊。结果:本研究共纳入162例患者。与ACEI/ARB-naïve患者相比,ARB使用者与较低的死亡率有显著的独立关联[OR (CI) = 0.1(0.0-0.5), p = 0.01]。ARB使用者中呼吸支持使用和重症监护病房(ICU)的患病率在数字上低于非ARB使用者,但在统计学上不显著。ACEI使用者的院内不良结局分布在数值上低于非ACEI使用者,尽管这种关联没有达到统计学意义。ARB使用者与持续咳嗽有显著的独立相关性[OR (CI) = 2 (1.1-10), p = 0.02]。在ARB使用者和非使用者之间没有发现其他长期症状的显著差异。另一方面,胸痛在ACEI使用者中的患病率高于非ACEI使用者。调整基线合并症后,胸痛与ACEI使用者的关联不存在。在ACEI使用者和非使用者之间没有发现其他长期症状的显著差异。结论:与不使用ARB/ACEI的患者相比,ARB和ACEI使用者的院内不良结局发生率较低。ARB与持续咳嗽有显著的独立关联。

Background: One of the common disorders that can negatively affect the health status of old adults is hypertension. Self-management education is an effective method to control various disorders. This study was designed to assess the effectiveness of self-management education program on blood pressure, management of anthropometric measures, and some metabolic factors among elderly in Tabriz, Iran. Methods: 227 eligible hypertensive elderly patients from three primary health care centers of Tabriz were participated in 12 sessions of self-management education intervention conducted in 6 months from April to October 2019. Systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), serum levels of fasting blood sugar (FBS), total cholesterol (TC), and triglyceride, as well as anthropometric indices were assessed both before and at the end of the intervention. Results: The participated elderly had the mean± SD age of 64.52±5.76 years. After 6-month presence of subjects in the educational sessions, the SBP (p=0.038), body weight (p=0.012), BMI (p=0.021), FBS (0.011), and TC ( < 0.0001) were significantly decreased compared to baseline. Conclusion: Self-management educations can improve compliance of elderly to controlling factors of blood pressure such as diet and exercise. Consequently, following a healthy lifestyle can be effective in reducing a number of the hypertension risk factors.
