It mostly seems an extension/explanation of the ridiculous 2023 ESH guidelines (not to be confused with the superb 2024 ESC guidelines www.escardio.org/Guidelines/C...)
A whole section to renal denervation 🤔
And such strong language against BP < 120

New American Heart Association guidelines: treat it early with diet & exercise.
“If you catch it early, you can gain many more years of healthy life,” says Penn’s Dr. Jordana Cohen.

In summary: screen carefully, stratify by risk, account for kidney health, and individualize therapy.
For nephrology, the wins are undeniable: albuminuria testing is mainstream, CKD visibility is heightened, and aldosterone is on the radar.

1️⃣2️⃣No aggressive IV treatment for severe asymptomatic HTN - avoid acute inpatient lowering if no target-organ damage (COR III: Harm, LOE C-LD).
📝Treat the patient (situation) not the number for acute HTN during hospitalization. I have trouble convincing nocturnists of this. #NephJC

🔟CKD with albuminuria - ACEi/ARB strongly recommended to delay CKD progression and reduce CVD (COR I, LOE A).
📝Still only 35-50% of eligible patients get them. How do we move the needle on this? #NephJC

9️⃣Cognitive protection🧠 - treat to SBP <130 to prevent mild cognitive impairment/dementia (COR I, LOE B-R).
📝Do you think BP control has a significant role in dementia? #NephJC

Is HTN still a problem worth our attention? Haven’t we conquered this ‘Silent Killer’ yet? Answers: YES it’s a problem, NO we’ve not conquered it.

Check out these sobering stats:
➡️More than 1.3 billion with HTN globally, 1.2 billion without control
➡️46.7 % HTN prevalence in the US from 2017 to 2020
➡️Leading cause of death and disability worldwide
