Italian Audit on Therapy of Hypertension in Chronic Kidney Italian Audit on Therapy of Hypertension in Chronic Kidney Disease: The TABLE-CKD Study Luca De Nicola,* Roberto Minutolo,* Pasquale Zamboli,* Raffaele Cestaro,† Luigi Marzano,† Paolo Giannattasio,† Claudio Cristofano,‡ Stefano Chimienti,‡ Vincenzo Savica,§ Guido Bellinghieri,§ Francesco Rapisarda,¶ Pasquale Fatuzzo,¶ and Giuseppe Conte,* for the Investigators of TArget Blood Pressure LEvels in Chronic Kidney Disease (TABLE in CKD) Study Groupʈ A large body of evidence supports the validity of decreasing blood pressure to target levels in patients with essential hypertension to prevent cardiovascular disease. This issue becomes even more critical in chronic kidney disease because of the remarkably greater risk for cardiovascular fatal and nonfatal events. Indeed, renal patients should maintain blood pressure levels less than those suggested for the general population. Paradoxically, management of hypertension in this high-risk patient population is far from optimal and certainly worse with respect to essential hypertension. The Target Blood Pressure Levels in Chronic Kidney Disease (TABLE-CKD) study, performed in Italian patients with mild to advanced chronic kidney disease regularly followed-up by nephrologists, has shown that the prevalence of patients at target blood pressure is less than 20%. The assessment of antihypertensive strategy in these patients, however, suggests that there is room for improvement; in particular, a more aggressive treatment of volume expansion may amelio- rate hypertension control in this population characterized by a high salt sensitivity of blood pressure.

Overall, these data indicate that hypertension plays a role in deter- mining the CV risk for CKD patients that certainly is not inferior, but probably is greater, as compared with the gen- eral population in whom it accounts for a population-attrib- utable risk for myocardial infarction of 18%.14 Figure 1 Percentage of patients with systolic and diastolic blood pressure values at goal.

  • Map 44 Latium-Campania Compiled by N
    Map 44 Latium-Campania Compiled by N. Purcell, 1997 Introduction The landscape of central Italy has not been intrinsically stable. The steep slopes of the mountains have been deforested–several times in many cases–with consequent erosion; frane or avalanches remove large tracts of regolith, and doubly obliterate the archaeological record. In the valley-bottoms active streams have deposited and eroded successive layers of fill, sealing and destroying the evidence of settlement in many relatively favored niches. The more extensive lowlands have also seen substantial depositions of alluvial and colluvial material; the coasts have been exposed to erosion, aggradation and occasional tectonic deformation, or–spectacularly in the Bay of Naples– alternating collapse and re-elevation (“bradyseism”) at a staggeringly rapid pace. Earthquakes everywhere have accelerated the rate of change; vulcanicity in Campania has several times transformed substantial tracts of landscape beyond recognition–and reconstruction (thus no attempt is made here to re-create the contours of any of the sometimes very different forerunners of today’s Mt. Vesuvius). To this instability must be added the effect of intensive and continuous intervention by humanity. Episodes of depopulation in the Italian peninsula have arguably been neither prolonged nor pronounced within the timespan of the map and beyond. Even so, over the centuries the settlement pattern has been more than usually mutable, which has tended to obscure or damage the archaeological record. More archaeological evidence has emerged as modern urbanization spreads; but even more has been destroyed. What is available to the historical cartographer varies in quality from area to area in surprising ways.

Past slope instabilities at Quindici (one of the five ral hazards in Italy (Catenacci, 1992), and cost the national towns of Campania that was hit by catastrophic landslides on economy some 17 000 million Euro, corresponding to about 5 May 1998) and in the Lauro Valley are investigated to im- 15 billion US$ (an average cost of c. $33 million). The hu- prove the understanding of the landslide history in the area, man and economic costs of landslides increased dramatically as a mandatory step for the evaluation of the landslide haz- in recent years. ard.
