[email protected] (A. Atallah) Background High blood pressure (HBP) is the most common chronic disease worldwide. In France, its prevalence varies by region. It is high in most Overseas Departments and Regions (DOMROM), at 38.2% in Réunion (1), 44% in Mayotte (2), 28% in the French Antilles, 18% in French Guiana, 25% in French Polynesia (3) and 28% in Saint-Martin (4). Purpose To determinate the differences within the same healthcare system between hypertension in Metropolitan France compared to Overseas France Departments and Regions (DOM-ROM) Results Sex-based differences: in contrast to Metropolitan France, in Overseas France the prevalence of HBP is higher in women, although women show better rates of care (screening and rates of patients ‘‘normalised’’ under medical treatment). The main explanation for this is the higher prevalence of obesity in women. Obesity multiplies the risk of developing hypertension by 2.5. Obesity in Guadeloupe affects 14% of men compared to 31% of women. Socio-economic particularities of hypertension in Overseas France: the numerous epidemiological surveys carried out in the French Antilles have demonstrated the major role of socio-economic conditions in the occurrence of hypertension, alongside the usual risk factors such as sedentary lifestyle, salt consumption and obesity (7). In the absence of socio-economic disparity, there is no significant disparity in the prevalence of hypertension specially in men. Conclusions There are differences between France Overseas Regions and Territories (DOM-ROMs) and Metropolitan France in terms of the prevalence, knowledge, treatment and control of hypertension, and these vary according to sex. For men, the prevalence and treatment of hypertension differ very little when considering a population of workers or employees in both regions. On the other hand, for women, the prevalence of hypertension is 1878-6480/
higher in the French Antilles-Guiana. This difference is not fully explained by the higher prevalence of obesity observed among female employees in the French Antilles-Guiana. For these patients, we also observe better knowledge and better control of hypertension. Care for men in socio-economically disadvantaged situations of precarity must be improved in terms of screening and adherence to treatment.

[email protected] (A. Bachir Cherif) Purpose In our knowledge, no previous prospective study has examined risk factors associated with masked hypertension (MAH) incidence. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of MAH and to examine risk factors associated with MAH. Methods In this prospective study, we included 687 consecutive patients aged between 30 and 70 years presenting our specialized consultation for ambulatory monitoring blood pressure. The control consisted of filling a questionnaire oriented on civil status, in addition to a clinical examination, including morphometry, measurement of blood pressure performed with validated electronic device (OMRON 705 CP). Office BP was defined as the mean of the first three readings taken at rest. Ambulatory BP was defined as the mean of the next readings recorded every 15 minutes during daytime working hours and every 30 minutes during night-time. A biological check-up was performed (glycaemia, HDL, cholesterol). Risk factors of masked hypertension incidence were examined using cross lagged generalized estimating equations. Data analysis was performed using the SPSS 20.0 software. Results Between 30-40 years, MAH is more common in men than women (16.2% versus 9.3%). The same difference is found for the 40—50 years group (25.8% versus 10.7% for women), P < 0.001. No difference by sex for the 60—70 years group (15.1% versus 14.9% for women, P = 0.12). Risk factors associated with MAH were higher in men than in women with diabetes (14.6% vs. 10.5%, P = 0.05), tobacco (28.3% vs. 1.7%, P = 0.02), creatinine (8.4 vs. 6.3 g/l, P = 0.05), microalbuminuria (102.7 vs. 31.5 mg/24 h, P < 0.001) and
e362 hypercholesterolemia (19.7% versus 14.1%, P = 0.05). Obesity was common among women (34.7% vs. 21.2% for men, P = 0.01). After adjustment, masked hypertension incidence was associated with the male gender (RR = 1.42, 95% CI: 1.13—1.85), age (RR 40—49 = 1.5, 95% CI: 1.1—3.1, RR ≥ 50 = 1.32, 95% CI: 1.08—2.1), body mass index (RR ≥ 27 = 1.4, CI 95%: 1.12—2.06), smoking status (RR = 1.5, 95% CI: 1.02—2.22). Conclusions Masked hypertension is common especially in patients with age ranging from 30 to 60 years. Our results indicate that socio-demographic risk factors and lifestyle are associated with the incidence of MAH. These factors should be considered in screening efforts of individuals at risk for developing masked hypertension.

[email protected] (F. Beghdadi) Background Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is a component of the sympathetic system’s dysfunction. OH is a factor of morbidmortality independent of relevant pathologies, and it increases global and cardiovascular mortality. OH also increases the risk of falling resulting in important social and economic consequences. Purpose The aim of our study was to evaluate the OH frequency in type 2 diabetic patients (T2D). Methods This prospective cross-sectional study was conducted in the explorations unit of the internal medicine department, throughout a period of two years. Patients included were adults with T2D. OH was defined as a decrease in the systolic arterial pressure > 20 mm Hg and/or a decrease in the diastolic arterial pressure > 10 mm Hg, after 3 minutes of standing from a lying position. The arterial pressure was measured with a validated electronic device. Results We included 367 diabetic patients. The evaluation focused on 286 patients among whom 175 are women; the average age was 64 years old. The average duration of diabetes was 9 years, 44% suffered from dyslipidemia and 45% from obesity. High blood pressure was present in 60% among whom 23% of patients were treated with beta blockers, 21% with angiotensin II receptor blockers, 17% with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, 15% with diuretics, and 11% with calcium channel blockers. Orthostatic hypotension has been identified in 9 patients (3%). The frequency of complications in group of patients with OH versus (vs) group of patients without OH were respectively for nephropathy: 44% vs. 14% (P = 0.01) and for peripheral neuropathy: 33% vs. 7% (P = 0.006). There is no statistically difference between two groups, for retinopathy, myocardial infarction, stroke and peripheral arterial disease. Conclusion Orthostatic Hypotension is relatively rare in our patients with type 2 diabetes and was significantly associated with nephropathy and neuropathy.

[email protected] (A. Benmekki) Introduction High blood pressure (hypertension) is a key parameter of microvascular and macrovascular complications in the diabetic patient. Target organ damage correlates better with home blood pressure (BP) monitoring than with the measuring of BP in consultation. Objective The objective of this study is to compare the measurement of the blood pressure in consultation versus home monitoring, to evaluate the achievement of the BP targets in patients with type 2 diabetes. We also looked for masked hypertension secondarily. Materials and methods Prospective study at in consultation including known adult hypertensive diabetics of type 2 patients. The measurement of the BP in consultation after a rest of at least 5 minutes, by a validated electronic device. Three measurements are made and the average of the last two measurements is calculated. The home BP monitoring was performed over 7 days by a validated electronic device given to the patient who must perform 3 measurements in the morning on an empty stomach and 3 measurements in the evening before bedtime at one minute intervals. A minimum of 18 measurements is required with a minimum of 6 measurements in the morning and 6 in the evening. BP target reached if the BP in consultation is less than 140 mmHg systolic and 90 mmHg diastolic, and if the home BP monitoring is less than 135 mmHg systolic and 85 mmHg diastolic. A masked hypertension is defined by a normal BP in consultation, and a high BP in home monitoring. Results We collected 221 diabetics of type 2 patients, hypertension is known in 115 (52%), including 32 women, mean age 59 years with a mean duration of diabetes of 8 years. Obesity in 37%, dyslipidemia in 51%, coronary artery disease in 10%, stroke in 9%, and peripheral arterial disease in 1%, antihypertensive therapy includes: ARBs n = 20, ACE n = 18, Beta-blockers n = 26, diuretics n = 17 and calcium channel blockers n = 4. Thirty-three % of patients are in monotherapy, 27% in dual therapy, and 13% in triple therapy. The average of the systolic BP in consultation is 137 mmHg, and the average of the systolic BP in home monitoring is 125 mmHg, the average difference between them is 12 mmHg, with a statistically significant difference P = 0.009 (P < 0.05) found by comparing the measure of systolic BP in consultation versus home monitoring. The mean of the diastolic BP in consultation is 80 mmHg and the diastolic BP in home monitoring is 76 mmHg, the average difference between both is 4 mmHg, with a statistically significant difference P = 0.02 (P < 0.05) between the measurement of the diastolic BP in consultation versus home monitoring. The systolic BP is controlled in 55% of patients in consultation against 72% in home monitoring with a statistically significant difference P = 0.01 (P < 0.05), and the diastolic BP is controlled in 76% of patients in consultation and in 88% in home monitoring with a statistically significant difference P = 0.02 (P < 0.05). We detected a masked hypertension in 4 patients. Conclusion In our series of diabetics of type 2 patients, the comparison of the measurement of BP in consultation against home monitoring for the assessment of the BP targets, found a better evaluation in the home BP monitoring compared to consultation measurement of BP, with a gain of 17% in systolic BP and 12% in diastolic BP. We detected a masked hypertension in 4% of patients.
