An overview of hypertension and cardiac involvement in Asia: Focus on heart failure

Abstract: Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is the leading cause of deaths worldwide, contributing to about 30% of all deaths. Half of the cases of CVD are estimated in Asia, the world's most populous continent. Hypertension, a major modifiable risk factor for and CME seminars from Abbott, Bayer, Boehringer Ingelheim, GlaxoSmithKline, Menarini, Merck Sharp & Dohme, Novartis, Orient Europharma, Pfizer, and Sanofi; and a research grant from Pfizer. J Nailes has received research grants from Pfizer. J Shin has received honorari… Show more

“…It would be understandable to attribute these effects to IHG because daily activity estimated by pedometer was mostly light intensity and did not change significantly between the observation and intervention periods. A previous study associated hypertension with higher BNP and heart failure 8,9 . However, BNP increased in our study despite the small BP reduction.…”

“…It is estimated that there would be more than 500 million (about 60%) hypertensive patients around the world by the year 2025. Hypertension is considered to be a major modifiable risk factor for CVDs, resulting in more deaths than any other risk factor in the Asian regions [4]. The incidence of hypertension is associated with salt intake, stress level, and obesity [5,6], and it is higher in lowand middle-income countries where patients have less awareness regarding the importance of hypertension control [6,7].…”

“…The HOPE Asia Network has published a number of papers on important Asia‐specific topics in hypertension . This Asia‐specific issue of the Journal of Clinical Hypertension provides an important resource including original research and review articles on the management of hypertension from a variety of Asian viewpoints, including topics such as central BP, environmental factors, comorbidities such as diabetes, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, and dementia, recent Asian guidelines and so forth . This issue also includes reports from twelve countries/regions in Asia to help define and highlight the current status of hypertension, its management, and their initiatives.…”

“…The “perfect 24‐hour BP control” strategy taking Asian characteristics into account is essential for achievement of the “zero” cardiovascular event goal . Considerable work has already been done on the journey to achieving this goal . Practically, a staged approach to the 24‐hour management of hypertension should be considered, first targeting morning hypertension, then nocturnal hypertension, followed by daytime hypertension .…”
