No association between genetic markers and hypertension control in multiple cross-sectional studies

We aimed to assess whether genetic markers are associated with hypertension control using two cross-sectional surveys conducted in Lausanne, Switzerland. Management of hypertension was assessed as per ESC guidelines using the 140/90 or the 130/80 mm Hg thresholds. One genetic risk score (GRS) for hy...

Sumario:We aimed to assess whether genetic markers are associated with hypertension control using two cross-sectional surveys conducted in Lausanne, Switzerland. Management of hypertension was assessed as per ESC guidelines using the 140/90 or the 130/80 mm Hg thresholds. One genetic risk score (GRS) for hypertension (18 SNPs) and 133 individual SNPs related to response to specific antihypertensive drugs were tested. We included 1073 (first) and 1157 (second survey) participants treated for hypertension. The prevalence of controlled participants using the 140/90 threshold was 58.8% and 63.6% in the first and second follow-up, respectively. On multivariable analysis, only older age was consistently and negatively associated with hypertension control. No consistent associations were found between GRS and hypertension control (140/90 threshold) for both surveys: Odds ratio and (95% confidence interval) for the highest vs. the lowest quartile of the GRS: 1.06 (0.71–1.58) p = 0.788, and 1.11 (0.71–1.72) p = 0.657, in the first and second survey, respectively. Similar findings were obtained using the 130/80 threshold: 1.23 (0.79–1.90) p = 0.360 and 1.09 (0.69–1.73) p = 0.717, in the first and second survey, respectively. No association between individual SNPs and hypertension control was found. We conclude that control of hypertension is poor in Switzerland. No association between GRS or SNPs and hypertension control was found.
