Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Current guidelines for hypertension management, which are based on large-scale studies, provide recommendations for the general hypertensive population and for defined subgroups of patients, and medical treatment based on those recommendations successfully reduces the cardiovascular risk of the general hypertensive population. However, blood pressure is the driving force for tissue perfusion, and excessive lowering of the blood pressure can result in the hypoperfusion of vital organs. The optimal degree of blood pressure reduction may depend on demographic, genetic, physiological and clinical characteristics, and it is expected that the individualized diagnosis, prevention and treatment of hypertensive patients would be more effective than the current general management.
This Special Issue invites researchers to submit both reviews and original research manuscripts in the field of personalized or precision medicine in the field of hypertension. The articles may explore physiological or clinical aspects of the personalized management of hypertension as it relates to diagnosis, prevention and treatment. While older terminology of personalized or precision medicine mainly refers to pharmaco-genetic management, this Special Issue also invites manuscripts on hypertension management that relate to other demographic, physiological and clinical characteristics of the individual patient. Manuscripts describing the utilization of advanced analysis techniques in personalized blood pressure medicine, such as machine learning, are particularly welcome.
