“…298 Lastly, a small Turkish study of HFrEF reported a prevalence of 51%. 299 These studies uniformly found a higher prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in women than in men. Hispanics had the highest prevalence of the metabolic syndrome (78.8%) followed by whites (69.5%) and blacks (60.9%).…”

CLINICAL STATEMENTS AND GUIDELINESfailed to show a significant reduction of SBP in patients with resistant hypertension. 81 Other strategies such as targeting excessive sympathetic nerve activity by carotid body denervation are awaiting clinical validation in the hypertension and HF populations. Drugs to Avoid in Patients With HFSeveral classes of drugs should be avoided in patients with HFrEF with a history of hypertension. Because of their negative inotropic properties and the increased likelihood of worsening HF symptoms, the nondihydropyridine calcium channel blockers such as diltiazem and verapamil should be avoided. 8 The dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker amlodipine appeared to be safe in patients with severe HFrEF in the PRAISE trial (Prospective Randomized Amlodipine Survival Evaluation), 82 as was felodipine. 73 In the current 2013 HF guidelines, most calcium channelblocking drugs except amlodipine are not recommended. 8Although clonidine is an effective antihypertensive agent, a similar centrally acting drug, moxonidine, was associated with increased mortality in patients with HF; thus, centrally acting norepinephrine-depleting agents may need to be avoided or used with caution in patients with HFrEF. 83In the ALLHAT trial, the α-blocker doxazosin arm of the trial was discontinued because of a 2-fold increase in the risk of developing HF compared with chlorthalidone treatment. 45 Although the ALLHAT study excluded patients with established HF and there are caveats about extrapolating these data to the management of hypertension in patients with established HF, the safety and efficacy of α-blockers in the management of patients with HF with hypertension are currently unclear. Potent direct-acting vasodilators such as minoxidil should also be avoided because of their renin-related salt and fluid-retaining effects. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents should be used with caution in these patients, given their effects on BP, volume status, and renal function. Treatment of Hypertension in Patients With HF With Preserved LVEFMost patients with HF and preserved LVEF (HFpEF), especially elderly women, have hypertension. A significant proportion of these patients also have evidence of LV hypertrophy, and some may have atrial dilatation, cardiac enlargement, and wall motion abnormalities without LV systolic dysfunction. Patients with HFpEF may respond particularly well to the treatment of hypertension with regression of hypertrophy 84 and improvement in filling pressures. 84,85 Most patients with HFpEF require treatment with cardiac medications for the comorbidities of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, and atrial fibrillation. The 2013 HF guidelines suggest that the use of β-blocking agents, ACE inhibitors, and ARBs in patients with hypertension is reasonable to control BP in patients with HFpEF. 8 The use of ARBs might also be considered to decrease hospitalizations for patients with HFpEF. recommendations Harmonized With Existing Guidelines for the recognition and Treatment of pa...

“…A low level of HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) is a well-defined risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases 6 and overall survival in general, 7 even when LDL-C levels are optimally controlled. 8,9 More recently, evidence has accumulated that a low HDL-C level also is an independent risk factor for the development of diabetes.…”

High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) exert a series of potentially beneficial effects on many cell types including anti-atherogenic actions on the endothelium and macrophage foam cells. HDLs may also exert anti-diabetogenic functions on the beta cells of the endocrine pancreas, notably by potently inhibiting stress-induced cell death and enhancing glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. HDLs have also been found to stimulate insulin-dependent and insulin-independent glucose uptake into skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, and liver. These experimental findings and the inverse association of HDL-cholesterol levels with the risk of diabetes development have generated the notion that appropriate HDL levels and functionality must be maintained in humans to diminish the risks of developing diabetes. In this article, we review our knowledge on the beneficial effects of HDLs in pancreatic beta cells and how these effects are mediated. We discuss the capacity of HDLs to modulate endoplasmic reticulum stress and how this affects beta-cell survival. We also point out the gaps in our understanding on the signalling properties of HDLs in beta cells. Hopefully, this review will foster the interest of scientists in working on beta cells and diabetes to better define the cellular pathways activated by HDLs in beta cells. Such knowledge will be of importance to design therapeutic tools to preserve the proper functioning of the insulinsecreting cells in our body.--
