@PLAS_PSH #plaspsh2022 In treating hypertension, there is an ongoing rift among those who preach, those who teach and those who treat. Others do the John Wayne - shoot first, ask Qs later. (Dr. Franz Messerli) @arnoldbenjamina @ceciledoc @hyperneuro @doc_Adriel

[Elmer Jasper Llanes @EJBL_NukeCardio]

Last session of the 2022 PLAS PSH convention with the icons in hypertension, Drs. Mancia and Messerli with our PHA President Dr. Vilela!

@PLAS_PSH #plaspsh2022 relationship of Lp(a) and CHD varies in different populations (Dr. Brian Tomlinson) Cut offs also vary even within Asian populations. @ceciledoc @hyperneuro @arnoldbenjamina @doc_Adriel

[Mia Fojas @Endocrine_ph]

@PLAS_PSH #plaspsh2022 Lipoprotein (a) and smaller apo(a) isoform sizes are associated with higher risk for ASCVD but have variable data re their implications in CKD. More studies are needed - Dr. Lynn Gomez. @ceciledoc @hyperneuro @doc_Adriel @arnoldbenjamina

REDUCE IT Trial: use of Icosapent Ethyl (EPA), a type of fish oil, reduced the primary endpoint of Major adverse cardiovascular events by 30%. Majority of Pts enrolled were for secondary CV prevention. #plaspsh2022

[Mia Fojas @Endocrine_ph]

@PLAS_PSH #plaspsh2022 STEP Trial - Dr. Tzang Dau Wang. Asians are more responsive to anti hpnive medications. Lowering BP to <130/80 is beneficial. For every mmHg redxn in BP, there were larger fx on MACE esp stroke. @ceciledoc @doc_Adriel @arnoldbenjamina @hyperneuro

[Mia Fojas @Endocrine_ph]

@PLAS_PSH #plaspsh2022 Icosapent ethyl acid and CV risk (Reduce-it) - @FedCheng Omega-3 fatty acids did not show any dec in cv outcomes, however EPA as icosapent ethyl dec MACE, time to revasc and atherosc plaque progression @ceciledoc @hyperneuro @doc_Adriel @arnoldbenjamina

Routine BP checks among children prior to COVID-19 vaccination is not recommended because of the low prevalence of hypertension in children - unless with known comorbidity. Pediatric hypertension session #plaspsh2022 @Endocrine_ph @hyperneuro

[Prof Alejandro Bimbo Diaz,MD @hyperneuro]

Dr Dante Morales excellent talk on BP variability specially in stroke patients #plaspsh2022

[Prof Alejandro Bimbo Diaz,MD @hyperneuro]

New insights on BP variability discussed by Dr Kazoumi Kario of Japan #plaspsh2022

[Mia Fojas @Endocrine_ph]

@PLAS_PSH #plaspsh2022 the 2 hospitals in Manila included in this collaborative study showed the highest controlled Hypertension vs other Asian centers. However patients here also had one of the highest Blood Pressure Variability - Dr. Kazoumi Kario @arnoldbenjamina @doc_Adriel

@PLAS_PSH #plaspsh2022 Interprofessional Collaboration (Dr. Lisa Traboco) in telemedicine improves healthcare delivery especially to patients with co-morbidities. This is a team effort that may include community hcw’s. @hyperneuro @ceciledoc @arnoldbenjamina @doc_Adriel
