Original Abstract
Although preventable, hypertension and hypertensive renal disease remain one of the major global risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, especially in the developed world [1]. Hypertension is defined as a chronically increased blood pressure (BP) above 140/90 mmHg and is related to an increase in peripheral resistance and decrease in arterial distensibility [2], similarly to an aging [1]. Available evidence confirms the ability of all five basic groups of antihypertensives to decrease arterial stiffness and consequently the BP in the long-term application [3]. Although proper treatment of hypertension attenuates its influence, the mechanisms by which hypertension accelerates atherosclerosis are poorly understood [4]. It is known that flow waveform for older subjects differs substantially from the young one mainly due to elevated arterial stiffness and consequently early wave reflection [5]. Moreover, the decreasing arterial stiffness via proper treatment of hypertension shifts the shape of the flow waveform to a young and healthy one [6]. Since arterial stiffness can be lowered through long-term application of antihypertensives, benefits of medical therapy could be not only in lowering the BP and peripheral resistance but also in improving the hemodynamic conditions.
