European Meeting on Hypertension and Cardiovascular Protection: BEAUTY Trial Insights
Explore the latest findings from the 26th European Meeting on Hypertension and Cardiovascular Protection in Paris, showcasing results from the BEAUTY trial regarding hypertension control and hemodynamic monitoring. Discover how impedance-guided therapy failed to improve central blood pressure and pulse wave velocity, despite significant reductions in other markers at 6 months.

26th European Meeting on Hypertension and Cardiovascular Protection Paris (France), June 10-13, 2016 Overview Impedance-guided therapy with the Hotman device (IHM) did not improve central blood pressure (CBP) or pulse wave velocity (PWV) compared with control in new analysis of BEAUTY study Study designed to determine if a drug selection algorithm driven by data from noninvasive hemodynamic profiles would improve CBP or PWV CBP and PWV measured with applanation tonometry using Sphygmocor system 115 of the 167 patients in BEAUTY included in analysis aged 64 years, median 3 antihypertensive medications, average systolic blood pressure (SBP) with ambulatory monitoring 143 mmHg Powered by Infomedica 26th European Meeting on Hypertension and Cardiovascular Protection
26th European Meeting on Hypertension and Cardiovascular Protection Paris (France), June 10-13, 2016 Results at 6 Months Marked, significant reduction in central SBP in both groups, no between-group difference (Figure 1) Marked, significant reduction in central pulse pressure in both groups, no between-group difference (Figure 1) Slightly higher values for augmentation index with IHM, but no between-group difference No between-group difference for amplification, a measure of peripheral-central SBP Significant improvement in PWV with IHM, but no significant between-group difference after adjustment for within-trial SBP (Figure 2) Powered by Infomedica 26th European Meeting on Hypertension and Cardiovascular Protection

26th European Meeting on Hypertension and Cardiovascular Protection Paris (France), June 10-13, 2016 Conclusions Monitoring hemodynamic parameters with a predefined algorithm for drug selection did not improve CBP or PWV in patients with hypertension Similar improvements were observed for central blood pressure, wave reflections, and amplification, Changes in pulse wave velocity were parallel to improvements in blood pressure with each treatment approach Powered by Infomedica 26th European Meeting on Hypertension and Cardiovascular Protection
