According to the 4th National Nutrition and Health Survey in 2002, the prevalence of hypertension in China was 18.8%. Although there are no recent updated nationwide data, it is believed that the prevalence of hypertension has increased substantially in the past decade up to more than 200 million hypertensive patients in the populous country of China. To fight against the growing risk of hypertension, three Chinese hypertension guidelines were compiled in the past two decades, in 1999, 2005, and 2011. The current guidance document for the management of hypertension was named '2010 Chinese hypertension guideline', but it was actually published in 2011. In this guideline, all five classes of antihypertensive drugs were recommended as possible initial and maintenance therapy. The goal of treatment was a systolic/diastolic blood pressure below 140/90 mm Hg in general, 130/80 mm Hg in various groups of high-risk patients, and 150/90 mm Hg in the elderly (≥65 years). With the recent publication of several national and international hypertension guidelines, the Chinese guideline is now under discussion for updating.

BACKGROUND: The noninvasive assessment of renal hemodynamics is currently possible by assessing the renal resistive index (RRI) derived from intrarenal Doppler arterial waveforms as (peak systolic velocity…
Elevated arterial stiffness has emerged as an important risk factor for future cardiovascular (CV) events in men and women. However, gender-related differences in arterial stiffness have not been clearly demonstrated…
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health concern due to the high prevalence of associated cardiovascular (CV) disease. CV mortality is 10-30 times higher in end-stage renal disease patients than in the…
BACKGROUND: Arterial stiffness is a natural consequence of aging, accelerated in certain chronic conditions, and predictive of cardiovascular events in adults. Emerging research suggests the importance of arterial…
BACKGROUND: Aortic stiffness is associated with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events and cognitive decline. This mini-review focuses on relations of aortic stiffness with microvascular dysfunction and discusses the…
The Korean Society of Hypertension published new guidelines for the management of hypertension in 2013 which fully revised the first Korean hypertension treatment guideline published in 2004. Due to shortage of Korean…
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate prospective associations between type 2 diabetes mellitus status and the gold standard non-invasive method for ascertaining arterial stiffness, carotid femoral pulse…
BACKGROUND: Arterial stiffness is an independent predictor of outcomes for patients with cardiovascular disease. Although measurement of pulse wave velocity is a widely accepted, noninvasive approach for the assessment…
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have greatly expanded our understanding of the genetic architecture of cardiovascular diseases in the past decade. They have revealed hundreds of suggestive genetic loci that…
Arterial stiffness is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. There are a number of techniques and devices that have been developed and utilized to capture the information pertaining to the elasticity of…
