Brief Summary

Systemic arterial hypertension is one of major risk factors to development of target organ damage that culminate in cardiovascular diseases such as acute myocardial infarction and stroke. Sodium intake is related with elevation of arterial blood pressure due to rise of cardiac output and of arterial stiffness and it can be estimated by daily sodium excreted in urine 24h. Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring can be used to obtain peripheral and central hemodynamic parameters \[arterial stiffness parameters - central blood pressure, pulse wave velocity and augmentation index\]. Applanation tonometry also can be used to check same central hemodynamic parameters. Both methods provide us important informations about the patients clinical conditions and help us to infer their prognosis. Therefore, this protocol aims measure the central hemodynamic parameters in hypertensive patients, controlled or resistant, and evaluate their sodium urinary excretion. The hypothesis is the resistant hypertensive patients have parameters higher than controlled hypertensive patients.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Pulse wave velocity

    The investigators has the objective of investigating if the urinary sodium quantity is associated with pulse wave velocity in resistant hypertensive individuals.

    The urinary sodium excretion will be evaluated during 24 hours. This evaluation will be done by 2 to 3 times in a period of 6 months. Pulse wave velocity will be also evaluated in this period by the ambulatory blood pressure monitoring 24 hours.

Study Arms (2)

Controlled Hypertensive Patients (CHP)

Hypertensive patients that have blood pressure less than 140 x 90 mmHg. This parameter must be evaluated by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring

Resistant Hypertensive Patients (RHP)

Hypertensive patients that have blood pressure more than 140 x 90 mmHg and they use three antihypertensive medicines; or hypertensive patients that have blood pressure less than 140 x 90 mmHg, but they use four or more antihypertensive medicines. This parameter must be evaluated by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.

Diagnostic Test: Evaluate if the individuals are resistant hypertensive patients

Interventions

Evaluation of the individuals has the objective determine if they are resistant hypertensive patients. This is important because the resistant people have worse prognosis than the controlled people and need more attention from the health professionals. Analysis must be done using the ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.

Resistant Hypertensive Patients (RHP)
