Structured PICO

Population

318 subjects: 223 patients with never treated essential hypertension (mean age 37.1 years) and 95 normotensive healthy subjects (mean age 37.9 years).

Comparator

95 normotensive healthy subjects

Outcome

Renal resistive index (RI) value in relation to ambulatory blood pressure measurement (ABPM) values and early target organ damagesurrogate

Renal resistive index has limited value in differentiating uncomplicated hypertension from healthy controls, but correlates with markers of cardiovascular events (carotid IMT and AASI) in both groups.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

RI lacks diagnostic value in uncomplicated hypertension; leaves open its prognostic role via IMT and AASI correlations in observational data.
