Influence of target organ lesion detection (assessment of microalbuminuria and echocardiogram) in cardiovascular risk stratification and treatment of untreated hypertensive patients.

Abstract:

:European guidelines indicate the importance of the evaluation of global cardiovascular risk (CVR) to determine the management of the hypertensive patients (EH). However, in primary care, the diagnostic work-up (PCD) only includes the metabolic risk factors. The aim of this study was to assess the importance of microalbuminuria (MA) and echocardiogram (ECHO) in the process of risk stratification, and the number of patients to be treated with drugs at diagnosis. In total, 155 nontreated EH were included in the study. Blood pressure, a lipid profile and plasma glucose (LG) were determined after an overnight fast. MA was evaluated with dipstick MICRALTEST, and in those patients with two positive results, it was measured again in two 24-h urine samples and was considered positive (MA+) if the average was >30 mg/24 h. Left ventricular mass index was calculated and values>125 g/m2 were considered as LV hypertrophy (LVH+). When the patients were stratified according to PCD, 22 had to be treated with drugs. When MA, ECHO and both tests used together were added to the risk evaluation, the number of patients to be treated were 42, 51 and 64, respectively (P<0.001 vs PCD). It is mainly in patients who have moderate cardiovascular risk that risk changes, whereas risk hardly changes in those having low and very high risk. In conclusion, in EH with moderate risk, measurement of MA, due to its easy availability and low cost, seems to be a cost effective screening test to avoid the underestimation of the CVR.
