简要总结
This is a multicenter, prospective observational cohort study. It will compare effectiveness and safety of various add-on treatment options in regard to arterial blood pressure control in adult patients with treatment resistant hypertension: an aldosterone receptor blocker (e.g. spironolactone), a loop diuretic, a thiazide in large daily dose, an alpha 1 selective blocker or a beta 1 selective blocker. The add-on therapy will be prescribed to the patients within the scope of their routine medical care, independently from the study investigators. The patients will be followed up for 6 months, with monthly visits and continuous home blood pressure diary kept by the patients themselves.

This is a multicenter, prospective observational cohort study. It will compare effectiveness and safety of various add-on treatment options in regard to arterial blood pressure control in adult patients with treatment resistant hypertension: an aldosterone receptor blocker (e.g. spironolactone), a loop diuretic, a thiazide in large daily dose, an alpha 1 selective blocker or a beta 1 selective blocker. The add-on therapy will be prescribed to the patients within the scope of their routine medical care, independently from the study investigators. Both office and home blood pressure measures will be recorded at baseline and then every month for 6 visits. The systolic and diastolic blood pressure targets are chosen according to European guidelines for treatment of hypertension, i.e. < 140/90 mmHg. Participants will have contact with the study team at any time to obtain information on interim study outcomes (updated medical history, completion of study questionnaires). Before, during and after the study the patients will be cared for by their chosen general practitioners independently from the study investigators and referred to internal medicine specialists as necessary, according to diagnostic and treatment protocols currently in power at the study sites. Role of the study investigators will be limited to observation and collection of data from the patients themselves and from their medical files.

入选标准
- •Provision of signed and dated informed consent form
- •Resistant hypertension is defined as casual blood pressure during clinical examination of more than 140/90 mmHg despite treatment with optimal or best-tolerated doses of three or more drugs, which should include a diuretic, typically an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor or an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), and a calcium channel blocker (CCB) (or beta blocker). All reference blood pressures will be taken as a mean of the 2nd and 3rd measurements in physician's office during a single examination, measured at least 3 min apart
- •Aged 18 years or above
- •Inadequate control of hypertension is confirmed with home blood pressure monitoring (average of morning and evening measurements after 5 minutes of relaxation in sitting position, for 6 days)
排除标准
- •Pregnancy, anticipated pregnancy, or breastfeeding
- •Incarceration or institutionalized living which may prohibit measurement of home blood pressure
- •Participation in another intervention study that may affect blood pressure
- •Patients in whom systolic blood pressure is not measurable (e.g. those with left ventricular assist devices)
- •Hypotension: average systolic blood pressure <100 mmHg over last 2 weeks prior to screening while not taking any blood pressure medications
- •Life expectancy <4 months
- •Anticipated living donor kidney transplant within 4 months
- •Patients with a systolic blood pressure value over 220 mmHg requiring immediate adjustments of therapy
- •Patients with moderate to severe renal insufficiency (acute or chronic) with glomerular filtration rate of less than 30 ml/min
- •Patients with active bronchospastic disorders
- •Heart failure classes III and IV
- •Severe bradycardia (heart rate below 50/min), 2nd and 3rd degree AV block
- •Patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any of the drugs under study
- •Patients already using add-on therapy
研究组 & 干预措施
Resistant hypertension
The adult patients with resistant hypertension which is defined as casual blood pressure during clinical examination of more than 140/90 mmHg despite treatment with optimal or best-tolerated doses of three or more drugs, which should include a diuretic, typically an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor or an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), and a calcium channel blocker (CCB). All reference blood pressures will be taken as a mean of the 2nd and 3rd measurements in physician's office during a single examination, measured at least 3 min apart. The following add-on therapy is available in Serbia, where the study is conducted: an aldosterone receptor blocker (e.g. spironolactone), a loop diuretic (e.g. furosemide), a thiazide in large daily dose, an alpha 1 selective blocker and a beta 1 selective blocker.
干预措施: Add-on therapy (Drug)
