Abstract

The prevalence of resistant hypertension continues to increase and the standard approaches of therapeutic lifestyle changes and drug therapy are ineffective in bringing many of these patients to goal blood pressure. Electrical stimulation of the carotid sinus baroreceptor through a surgically implanted device is presently under clinical investigation and is showing some encouraging early results. This review discusses the evolution of this therapy including a review of the current data available from the early stages of ongoing clinical trials.

Ältere Frauen, die von chronischen Erkrankungen weitgehend verschont sind, haben offenbar die besten Chancen, ihren 90. Geburtstag zu erleben, wenn ihr systolischer Blutdruck < 130 mmHg liegt. Das scheint selbst für 80-Jährige noch zu gelten.

Sind Frauen die fähigeren Ärzte?

Patienten, die von Ärztinnen behandelt werden, dürfen offenbar auf bessere Therapieergebnisse hoffen als Patienten von Ärzten. Besonders gilt das offenbar für weibliche Kranke, wie eine Studie zeigt.

Dihydropyridin-Kalziumantagonisten können auf die Nieren gehen
