One of the main results observed in this study was that hypertensive patients with a decrease in their glomerular filtration rate equal to or greater than 10% within 3 years have a higher risk of cardiovascular morbimortality regardless of the treatment administered.
This is an interesting finding considering that the margin of loss of kidney function predictive of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality has been much greater (around 50%) to date.
The results obtained in our study allow for closer monitoring of the hypertensive patient and earlier intervention to reduce cardiovascular risk.
