Aim: To evaluate the renoprotective effect as reflected by short-term changes in albuminuria of ultra high doses of irbesartan in Type 2 diabetic patients with microalbuminuria Design: A double-masked randomized cross-over trial including 60 hypertensive Type 2 diabetic patients with microalbuminuria on ongoing antihypertensive medication. At inclusion, previous antihypertensive treatment will be discontinued and replaced with bendroflumethiazide 5 mg o.d. for the entire study. Following two months wash-out (baseline), patients will be treated randomly with irbesartan 300, 600 and 900 mg o.d., each dose for two months. End-points evaluated at the end of each study period include urinary albumin excretion rate (UAE, mean of three 24-hrs collections), 24-hrs blood pressure (ABP); and GFR (51Cr-EDTA).

Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) polymorphisms influence 24h arterial pressure fluctuation. Resistant systemic arterial hypertension (RSAH) has an increased risk of end organ damage and unfavourable prognosis, whereas pseudo-RSAH usually respond favourably to drug therapy. To prospectively investigate, in subjects with RSAH in a tropical South American city: 1) Adverse cardiovascular events defined as fatal and non-fatal stroke or acute myocardial infarction (AMI); and 2) the association of RAAS polymorphisms and adverse cardiovascular events in this population. Study population: 212 hypertensives recruited from primary care assistance (time since first diagnosis of hypertension: 16.5±8.1 years) and without appropriate pressure control, between 2001 and 2006, corresponding to 0.48% of all hypertensives under care (18 new cases/year), 57±10 years old, 66% females. Under drug treatment schedule: three or more drugs including a diuretic. Ninety two randomly selected hypertensives basis had renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system genetic profile determined. Genetic assessment was carried out using a polymerase chain reaction assay amplification technique. The following single nucleotide polymorphisms were analyzed: renin (G1051A), angiotensinogen (M235T), angiotensin converting enzyme-ACE (I/D), angiotensin II type 1 receptor (A1166C), aldosterone synthase (C344T) and mineralocorticoid receptor (G3514C).

At the end of a 12 month observation with the registration of unfavorable cardiovascular occasions (death from cardiovascular reasons, nonfatal myocardial infraction, cerebral stroke, necessity for repeated revascularization of the coronary arteries) based on the analysis of non-genetic and genetic factors (polymorphism of genes Thr174Met and Met235Thr in gene angiotensinogen, Arg389Gly and Ser49Gly in gene adrenoceptor beta 1, Ser447Ter in gene lipoprotein lipase and Leu28Pro in gene apolipoprotein E, Trp212Ter and G681A in gene cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily C member 19) factors of unfavorable prognosis will be identified and considering which group of patients requires the use of remote monitoring system will be formed. --- Thr174Met --- --- Met235Thr ---

An estimated 22% of the global population is at an increased risk of a severe form of COVID-19, while one in four coronavirus patients admitted to intensive care unit will develop a pulmonary embolism. A major public health question remains to be investigated: why COVID-19 is mild for some, critically severe for others and why only a percentage of COVID-19 patients develop thrombosis, despite the disease's proven hypercoagulable state? Patients' intrinsic characteristics might be responsible for the deep variety of disease forms. Our study aims to assess the validity of the hypothesis according to which underlining genetic variations might be responsible for different degrees of severity and thrombotic events risks in the novel coronavirus disease. Moreover, we suspect that prothrombotic genotypes occuring in the genes that encode angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE-DEL/INS) and angiotensinogen (AGT M235T) are involved in the unpredictable evolution of COVID-19, both in terms of severity and thrombotic events, due to the strong interactions of SARS-CoV-2 with the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). Therefore, we also aim to assess the validity of the theory according to which there is a pre-existing atypical modulation of RAAS in COVID-19 patients that develop severe forms and/or thrombosis. Our hypothesis is based on various observations. Firstly, there is a substantial similarity with a reasonably related condition such as sepsis, for which there is a validated theory stating that thrombophilic mutations affect patients' clinical response. Secondly, racial and ethnic genetic differences are responsible for significant dissimilar thrombotic risks among various nations. Thirdly, an increase in stroke incidence has been reported in young patients with COVID-19, without essential thrombosis risk factors, favoring the idea that a genetic predisposition could contribute to increase the thrombotic and thromboembolic risk. Fourthly, the plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-1 4G/5G inherited mutation was found to be responsible for a thrombotic state causing post-SARS osteonecrosis.
