1 Controlling Hypertension Through Education and Coaching in Kidney Disease

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious and growing public health problem. The purpose of this study is to find out if an educational worksheet, called the Encounter Decision Intervention (EDI), combined with health coaching helps CKD patients improve their blood pressure and other health outcomes. The research team hypothesizes that the intervention group will have greater improvement in CKD outcomes than the control group.

4 Hypertension in Patients Hospitalized With COVID-19 in Wuhan, China: A Single-center Retrospective Observational Study

Some studies have shown that the main pathogenesis of patients with covid19 is related to ACE2 receptor. Lung is one of the main organs, and there are many ACE2 receptors in cardiovascular system. ACEI / ARB is the main target of antihypertensive drugs. Previous reports suggested that there were large number of patients with covid19 also suffered from hypertension, suggesting that patients with hypertension may be the susceptible to covid19. Therefore, we try to follow up the patients admitted to Hankou hospital to explore the impact of hypertension and hypertension treatment on the severity and prognosis of patients with covid19, so as to provide new methods for the treatment of patients with covid19 in the future.

5 The CORONAvirus Disease 2019 Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor/Angiotensin Receptor Blocker InvestigatiON (CORONACION) Randomized Clinical Trial

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic infection caused by a virus called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Because SARS-CoV-2 is known to require the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE-2) receptor for uptake into the human body, there have been questions about whether medications that upregulate ACE-2 receptors might increase the risk of infection and subsequent complications. One such group of medications are anti-hypertensives that block the renin-angiotensin system, including both angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB). Both ACEi and ARB are widely used for the treatment of hypertension. Early reports from China and Italy suggest that many of those who die from COVID-19 have a coexisting history of hypertension. Consequently, there have been questions raised as to whether these 2 types of blood pressure medication might increase the risk of death among patients with COVID-19. However, it is well known that the prevalence of hypertension increases linearly with age. Therefore, it is possible that the high prevalence of hypertension and ACEi/ARB use among persons who die from COVID-19 is simply confounded by age (older people are at risk of both a history of hypertension and dying from COVID-19). Whether these commonly prescribed blood pressure medications increase the risk of COVID-19 or not remains unanswered. Statements from professional cardiology societies on both sides of the Atlantic have called for urgent research into this question. Our study aims to randomize patients with primary (essential) hypertension who are already taking ACEi/ARB to either switch to an alternative BP medication or continue with the ACEi/ARB that they have already been prescribed. Adults with compelling indications for ACEi/ARB will not be enrolled.

9 Association Between Hypertension, Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System Inhibitors and COVID-19

Background. Angiotensing converting enzyme type 2 (ACE2), a key enzyme of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), is the receptor of SARS-CoV-2 for cell entry into lungs. Because ACE2 may be modulated by RAAS inhibitors, such as angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), there is concern that patients treated with ACEi and ARBs may be at higher risk for COVID-19 infection and severity. Aim. To analyze the associations between COVID-19 and hypertension, and treatments with ACEi and ARBs. Methods. In this retrospective observational study, consecutive patients hospitalized for suspected COVID-19 pneumonia will be divided into 2 groups, whether or not COVID-19 is confirmed. The two groups will be compared for baseline characteristics, mainly prior treatment with ACEi and ARBs, and clinical outcome at 1-month follow-up. The main hypothesis is that ACEi and ARBs, which interact differently with ACE2, may have different relationships with COVID-19 infection or severity.

10 COVID-19 Blood Pressure Endothelium Interaction Study

The current COVID-19 pandemic (caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus) represents the biggest medical challenge in decades. Whilst COVID-19 mainly affects the lungs it also affects multiple organ systems, including the cardiovascular system. There are documented associations between severity of disease and risk of death and To provide all the information required by review bodies and research information systems, we ask a number of specific questions. This section invites you to give an overview using language comprehensible to lay reviewers and members of the public. Please read the guidance notes for advice on this section. 5 DRAFT Full Set of Project Data IRAS Version 5.13 advancing age, male sex and associated comorbid disease (hypertension, ischaemic heart disease, diabetes, obesity, COPD and cancer). The most common complications include cardiac dysrhythmia, cardiac injury, myocarditis, heart failure, pulmonary embolism and disseminated intravascular coagulation. It is thought that the mechanism of action of the virus involves binding to a host transmembrane enzyme (angiotensin- converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)) to enter some lung, heart and immune cells and cause further damage. While ACE2 is essential for viral invasion, it is unclear if the use of the common antihypertensive drugs ACE inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) alter prognosis. This study aims to look closely at the health of the vascular system of patients after being treated in hospital for COVID-19 (confirmed by PCR test) and compare them to patients who had a hospital admission for suspected COVID-19 (negative PCR test) . Information from this study is essential so that clinicians treating patients with high blood pressure understand the impact of the condition and these hypertension medicines in the context of the current COVID-19 pandemic. This will allow doctors to effectively treat and offer advice to patients currently prescribed these medications or who are newly diagnosed with hypertension.

11 Assessing Effectiveness of a Chronic Disease Self-management Program in Faith-based Organizations in Barbados: a Cluster Randomized Trial

In Barbados, levels of hypertension are high (40.7%) and cause of a high proportion of deaths due to cardiovascular diseases. In this study, the Stanford University-led Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) will be modified to form one of the basic components of a three-pronged intervention to improve blood pressure control. Our overall goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of a hypertension self-management program in community-based settings. With the advent of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) we recognize that it may be necessary to adapt the programme to accommodate virtual delivery. Our specific aims are to: 1. Adapt the Stanford (CDSMP) to ensure cultural appropriateness to Barbados. In view of the need to adhere to physical distance guidelines in the era of COVID-19 disease, modifications will be made to enhance virtual delivery while maintaining programme fidelity. We will engage stakeholders in performing modifications related to content, context and mode of delivery of the CDSMP program with the goal of ensuring cultural appropriateness. 2. Determine the clinical effectiveness of CDSMP combined with medication enhancement tools. We will conduct a cluster randomized trial in twelve faith-based organizations(FBOs) in Barbados. We are primarily interested in studying the changes in systolic blood pressure. Secondarily, we will also assess change in weight, medication adherence, dietary behavior and physical activity. 3. Understand the barriers and facilitators to implementation and sustainability of CDSMP plus self-monitoring tools in faith-based organizations. We will assess cost and sustainability of the intervention and qualitatively assess factors associated with barriers and facilitators of implementation in FBOs in Barbados. Impact and novelty: We aim to increase the proportion of patients with controlled hypertension leading to reduced illness and deaths from strokes and heart attacks in particular. Few studies have looked at a blended approach to CDSMP delivery and these will become more necessary in the era of COVID-19. Findings on the factors impacting implementation will be transferable to small island developing states and other predominantly black populations.

12 The Prevalence of Pulmonary Hypertension, With or Without Right Ventricular Loading, in Patients With COVID-19 Who Are Being Treated With a Respirator in the Intensive Care Unit.

The virus infection Covid-19 fills our hospitals and intensive care departments in a very unique way and there is a lack of essential insight into the pathophysiology of the disease. As a result, very specific treatment options are missing. The US Medicines Agency (FDA) has in the last days given a general license for treatment with inhaled nitric oxide (iNO). Inhaled NO in Sweden (and Europe) is approved for the indication of pulmonary hypertension in adults. However, no one has yet described the occurrence of pulmonary hypertension, with or without right ventricular loading, in the Covid-19 patients who become so seriously ill that they need to be treated at an IVA ward. Knowledge of this is, of course, a prerequisite for determining the need for pulmonary artery catheterization (PA catheter, Swan-Ganz catheter) and also to better understand whether iNO treatment or other forms of lung selective vasodilation therapy may be of benefit to this patient group.

13 Association Between Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor or Angiotensin Receptor Blocker Use and COVID-19 Severity and Mortality Among US Veterans

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus responsible for COVID-19, enters type II pneumocytes using angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). It is unclear whether ACE inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) increase, decrease, or have no significant effect on ACE2 expression or activity. Therefore, ACEI and ARB may be harmful, beneficial, or have no impact on Coronavirus Disease 2019 severity and mortality. The Specific Aims of this observational study are: (1) Among SARS-CoV-2-positive outpatients, compare all-cause hospitalization and mortality rates between: 1.1 Current users of a range of doses of ACEI/ARB- vs. non- ACEI/ARB-based regimens, and 1.2 Current users of a range of doses of ACEI- vs. ARB-based regimens, and (2) Among those hospitalized for COVID-19, compare all-cause mortality between: 2.1 Current users of a range of doses of ACEI/ARB- vs. non- ACEI/ARB-based regimens, and 2.2 Current users of a range of doses of ACEI- vs. ARB-based regimens.
