METHTARISC
Research group on Metabolism, Hypertension and Cardiovascular Risk
This group comprises physicians and econometrists of the Girona and Barcelona Health Regions with an interest in the study of the measurement of blood pressure, subclinical vascular disease associated with hypertension and the dynamic behaviour of cardiovascular risk factors. They collaborate with other investigators and networks within the IDIAP and other research bodies. The main objective of the group is to contribute information on 3 aspects of the role of blood pressure self-measurement (BPSM) with regard to the diagnosis of hypertension: 1.- Cut-off points of normality for the diagnosis of isolated clinical hypertension in relation to intermediate (evolution of subclinical vascular disease) and final variables (cardiovascular and renal morbidity and mortality ); 2.- Criteria for the diagnosis of isolated clinical hypertension or white coat hypertension; 3.- Optimal protocol for BPSM. The relationship between hypertension and subclinical vascular disease is concomitantly analysed. The research areas of this group are as follows: 1. Description of the normality cut-off points, the optimal protocol for measurement and diagnostic and prognostic value of BPSM; 2. Clinical validation of an automated screening of retinal microvasculature; 3. Assessment of the dynamic behaviour of metabolic syndrome and its components and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality; 4. Validation of specific cardiovascular risk tables for patients with Type 2 Diabetes.
