RESUMEN
Durante 2008 se han publicado importantes ensayos clínicos en patología cardiovascular, principalmente sobre pacientes hipertensos y diabéticos. Sus resultados, algunos inesperados, en ocasiones nos han permitido confirmar lo que ya sabíamos respecto al control de estos factores de riesgo, pero también han creado bastante debate sobre cuestiones previamente establecidas, como hasta dónde bajar la presión arterial y la glucemia en pacientes con enfermedad cardiovascular. También disponemos de información reciente sobre estrategias terapéuticas antihipertensivas basadas en nuevos fármacos o en combinaciones de fármacos ya existentes. En este artículo se revisan estos aspectos y también algunos registros promovidos por nuestra sección, publicados el pasado año (AU)
ABSTRACT
In the course of the last year, a number of important clinical trials on cardiovascular disease, principally in hypertensive and diabetic patients, have published their results. The findings, some of which were unexpected, have enabled us, in certain instances, to confirm what already we knew about controlling these risk factors, but they have also led to active discussion about well-established topics, such as: To what extent should blood pressure and glycemia levels be reduced in patients with cardiovascular disease? In addition, up-to-date information has become available about treating hypertension with new drugs or new combinations of existing drugs. This article contains a review of all these topics and also summarizes the findings of some observational studies carried out by the working group on hypertension of the Spanish Society of Cardiology that have been reported in the last year (AU)
