The American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association hypertension guidelines recommend treatment initiation with dual antihypertensive therapy in adults with stage 2 hypertension (corresponding to grade 1 and 2 in the ESH classification) and an average BP >20/10 mm Hg above target. Amlodipine and valsartan are two of the most commonly prescribed medications for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure). In Pakistan multiple studies were conducted on Hypertension and use of Single Pill Combination in uncontrolled Hypertension. However, no study was conducted to assess the role of Single Pill Combination (SPC) like Amlodipine and Valsartan in newly diagnosed hypertension and to assess their quality of life by patients' satisfaction with their medication after managing the hypertension with the SPC.

Global Longitudinal Strain and Biomarkers of Cardiac Damage and Stress as Predictors of Outcomes After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Article

Author: Patel, Jay N. ; Vatterott, Anna ; Gupta, Deepak K. ; Kumbhani, Dharam J. ; Baker, Michael ; Mallugari, Ravinder R. ; Clark, Daniel E. ; Jackson, Natalie ; Gillam, Linda ; Fearon, William F. ; Gonzales, Holly ; Lindman, Brian R. ; Kapadia, Samir ; Piana, Robert N. ; Kim, Juyong B. ; Perry, Andrew S. ; Zajarias, Alan ; Biersmith, Michael ; Quader, Nishath ; Stein, Elliot J. ; Bavry, Anthony A. ; Elmariah, Sammy ; Whisenant, Brian ; Coylewright, Megan ; Huang, Shi ; Welt, Frederick G.

Background:

Global longitudinal strain (GLS) is a sensitive measure of left ventricular function and a risk marker in severe aortic stenosis. We sought to determine whether biomarkers of cardiac damage (cardiac troponin) and stress (NT‐proBNP [N‐terminal pro‐B‐type natriuretic peptide]) could complement GLS to identify patients with severe aortic stenosis at highest risk.

Methods and Results:

From a multicenter prospective cohort of patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis who underwent transcatheter aortic valve implantation, we measured absolute GLS (aGLS), cardiac troponin, and NT‐proBNP at baseline in 499 patients. Left ventricular ejection fraction <50% was observed in 19% and impaired GLS (aGLS <15%) in 38%. Elevations in cardiac troponin and NT‐proBNP were present in 79% and 89% of those with impaired GLS, respectively, as compared with 63% and 60% of those with normal GLS, respectively ( P <0.001 for each). aGLS <15% was associated with increased mortality in univariable analysis ( P =0.009), but, in a model with both biomarkers, aGLS, and clinical covariates included, aGLS was not associated with mortality; elevation in each biomarker was associated with an increased hazard of mortality (adjusted hazard ratio, >2; P ≤0.002 for each) when the other biomarker was elevated, but not when the other biomarker was normal (interaction P =0.015).

Conclusions:

Among patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation, elevations in circulating cardiac troponin and NT‐proBNP are more common as GLS worsens. Biomarkers of cardiac damage and stress are independently associated with mortality after transcatheter aortic valve implantation, whereas GLS is not. These findings may have implications for risk stratification of asymptomatic patients to determine optimal timing of valve replacement.

[THE COMBINED THERAPY IN HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS WITH DYSLIPIDEMIA].

Article

Author: Gegeshidze, N ; Tabukashvili, R ; Tchaava, K ; Kapetivadze, V ; Maglapheridze, Z ; Lazashvili, T

Purpose - studying of clinical efficiensy of the combined therapy (Amlodipin with Valsartan and fibrates) in hypertensive patients with dyslipidemia. Were studied 58 patients (40-65 years old) with hypertension (the level of arterial pressure was ≥140/90 and ≤180/110mm.Hg.RR). The patients have been divided into 3 groups: Group 1( n=18, middle age 55,8±5,9) were given Amlodipin 10 mg., Fenofibrates 200mg. (Lipantil); Group 2 (n=20, middle age 58,0±4,9) were given Exforge (Amlodipin 5mg./Valsartan 160mg.) and Lipantil 200mg.; Group3 (n=20, middle age 57,0±6,9) were given Exforge. Research duration- 4 months. Was done collection of anamnesis, calculation of BMI, Heart rate, Blood pressure. Before and after observation were investigated: lipid range, Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides, High Density Lipoproteins, Low Density Lipoproteins by using W.Friedwald's formula. After 4 month in group 3 was found significantly reduce of Blood Pressure, systolic- 26,6%, (р<0,001), and diastolic - 18,0%; Significantly improve Lipid range. Were decreased the levels of Total Cholesterol -14,5%, Triglycerides-15,9%, Low Density Lipoproteins -20,2%. The combined therapy by Exforge and fibrates provides effective decrease in levels of blood pressure and improvement in lipid range in hypertensive patients with dyslipidemia.

Azilsartan, Aliskiren, and Combination Antihypertensives Utilizing Renin–Angiotensin–Aldosterone System Antagonists

Review

Author: Lanier, Gregg ; Aronow, Wilbert S ; Sankholkar, Kedar

Health care providers managing hypertension (HTN) have a large selection of pharmacologic agents to choose from, including several different classes of drugs and many similar drugs within each class. Antagonism of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system has been shown to be very effective for HTN, especially in patients with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and heart failure. Within this group, there have been 2 new agents recently introduced to the US market and approved by the Food and Drug Administration. It is important for the HTN specialist to be familiar with the merits of these 2 drugs: the angiotensin receptor blocker Edarbi (azilsartan) and the renin inhibitor Tekturna (aliskiren). Additionally, there have been several new, fixed-dose combination antihypertensives introduced to the market since 2006 that use a renin-angiotensin-aldosterone antagonist. Seven of these combine 2 drugs together in a single pill: Edarbyclor (azilsartan/chlorthalidone), Exforge (amlodipine/valsartan), Azor (olmesartan/amlodipine), Twynsta (amlodipine/telmisartan), Tekturna HCT [aliskiren/hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ)], Valturna (aliskiren/valsartan), Tekamlo (aliskiren/amlodipine). Three triple-drug combination medications have also been introduced recently: Exforge HCT (amlodipine/valsartan/HCTZ), Tribenzor (olmesartan/amlodipine/HCTZ), and Amturnide (aliskiren/amlodipine/hydrocholorothiazide). This review will summarize the trial data and important pharmacologic merits of these 2 new renin-angiotensin-aldosterone antagonists and the advantages of initiating treatment with one of the new fixed-dose, combination drugs approved over the last 5 years.

Novartis to pay $245 mln to end antitrust cases over Exforge drug generics

NEW YORK, Dec 28 (Reuters) - Novartis AG (NOVN.S) said on Wednesday it will pay $245 million to end antitrust litigation accusing the Swiss drugmaker of trying to delay the launch in the United States of generic versions of its Exforge hypertension drug. The settlements with so-called direct purchasers, indirect purchasers and retailers require approval by a federal judge in Manhattan, and will resolve all outstanding claims against the company over the matter, Novartis said. CVS Health Corp (CVS.N) , Kroger Co (KR.N) , Rite Aid Corp (RAD.N) and Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc (WBA.O) are among the plaintiffs in the civil litigation, which began in 2018. The class-action litigation stemmed from a 2011 licensing agreement between Novartis and Endo International Plc's (ENDPQ.PK) Par Pharmaceutical unit. Novartis and Par were accused of entering an illegal "reverse payment" agreement to delay launches of less expensive, generic versions of Exforge, which treats hypertension to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of strokes. Plaintiffs said Par agreed not to launch an Exforge generic for two years after the expiration of one of Novartis's patents, and Novartis agreed not to compete with Par by launching its own Exforge generic during the 180-day exclusivity period following Par's entry into the market. Novartis's annual U.S. sales of brand-name Exforge exceeded $400 million before generic versions were sold, court papers show. The case is In re Novartis and Par Antitrust Litigation, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 18-04361. Our Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.
