“…End-organ damage is the most important clinical consequence of hypertension causing cardiac failure, renal failure and stroke. Despite great achievements in blood pressure therapy, optimally treated hypertensive patients still have a 50% greater risk than untreated normotensive subjects 2 suggesting the urgent need of add-on therapy to specifically target hypertensive end-organ damage. Vascular remodeling has been strongly implicated in hypertensive end-organ damage and associated with poor cardiovascular outcomes.…”

“…The best treatment regimen for RCR is not clear at present. In a recent brief review, Struthers and George 15 suggest that the addition of b-blockers to a baseline regimen based on renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors will prevent future cardiovascular events if the levels of BNP or NT-proBNP are elevated. Their recommendations are heavily based on the findings of the NT-proBNP Selected Prevention of Cardiac Events in a Population of Diabetic Patients Without a History of Cardiac Disease (PONTIAC) study.…”

“…3,4 Increased levels of RCR have been associated with a 50% increased risk of future cardiovascular events not only in controlled hypertensive patients, but also in patients with other cardiovascular diseases. 5 Therefore, the baseline measurement of blood levels of NT-proBNP in either newly diagnosed untreated or pretreated hypertensive patients is important for the evaluation of RCR and its predictive value for future cardiovascular events. In order to get a better perspective of the current status of RCR and its predictive significance, a Medline search of the English language literature was conducted from 2010 to 2015 and 14 pertinent papers were selected.…”
