New Aspects on Arterial Hypertension

الملخص EN

Besideestablished diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines, several new approaches for the treatment of hypertension are emerging.

Newer studies reveal the importance of individualized reference values for the treatment of high blood pressure.

Several biomarkers have shown a predictive value for the development of hypertension, which in future might help to develop an individual risk score and therapeutic goals.

In patients with therapy-resistant hypertension, renal denervation therapy offers a safe and effective therapeutic option.

Follow-up studies reported a reduction of systolic blood pressure up to 32 mmHg after 24 months.

A more invasive approach is the implantation of a baroreceptor stimulator, which as well was effective in treating high blood pressure.

These new aspects on arterial hypertension are presented in this paper.
