REYES OLIVA, Roberto; GUERRERO JIMENEZ, Gustavo; MARTINEZ DOMINGUEZ, Maritza  y  ARREDONDO BRUCE, Alfredo. New therapeutic challenges of arterial hypertension and cardiac disease. AMC [online]. 2010, vol.14, n.3. ISSN 1025-0255.

Background: Every year, new national and international guidelines about systemic arterial hypertension management and new protocols are released, which tend to complicate the clinician's work at times. Development: A new meta-analysis has clarified benefits of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibition for heart failure especially important after the unclear results of the study. Two new approaches to treat resistant hypertension to treatment, Rheos devices for resistant hypertension and catheter-based renal enervation have shown promising results, whereas a vaccine against angiotensin II needs further clarification. Patients taking polypill were studied against eight groups taking separately polypill components, which showed quite encouraging results.
