Key result
Standard algorithms of cardiovascular risk assessment may require reconsideration to account for ethnic specifics of cardiovascular remodeling and central arterial stiffness in arterial hypertension.
Why the study?
Does incorporating ethnicity and target organ damage into cardiovascular risk assessment improve the individualization of diagnostics and risk control in patients with arterial hypertension?
Does incorporating ethnicity and target organ damage into cardiovascular risk assessment improve the individualization of diagnostics and risk control in patients with arterial hypertension?
Standard cardiovascular risk assessment algorithms may need reconsideration to include ethnicity and target organ damage markers like central arterial stiffness for more personalized risk stratification.

Ethnic differences in hypertensive remodelling may inform individualized CV risk assessment in diverse populations; leaves open prospective outcome validation.
The review focuses on recent data concerning clinical and functional characteristics of racial and ethnic specifics of cardiovascular remodelling in arterial hypertension, having the importance for individualization of approaches in diagnostics and cardiovascular risk control (CVR). The key attention is paid for the results of investigation on such characteristics in various ethnicity patients living outside the traditional inhabitation, which is especially important for Russia due to significant demographic variety and migrational currents. So the standard algorithms of CVR assessment seem to be due for reconsideration and taking into account novel reclassification mechanisms. Integral indices of CVR, firstly, related to remodelling, and especially the terms of central arterial stiffness, demand for special attention as perspective non-invasive methods of diagnostics with the aim of personified evaluatory CVR mechanisms, incl. ethnicity.

Brodskaya et al. (2017) conducted a review in Arterial hypertension. Ethnicity and target organ damage was evaluated. Standard algorithms of cardiovascular risk assessment may require reconsideration to account for ethnic specifics of cardiovascular remodeling and central arterial stiffness in arterial hypertension.
