We explored the impact on hypertension care in the Excellence Center (EC) network of the European Society of Hypertension. Methods: We conducted a 17-question electronic survey among ECs. Results: Overall, 52 ECs from 20 European and three non-European countries participated, providing hypertension service for a median of 1500 hypertensive patients per center per year. Eighty-five percent of the ECs reported a shutdown lasting for 9 weeks (range 0–16). The number of patients treated per week decreased by 90%: from a median of 50 (range 10–400) before the pandemic to a median of 5.0 (range 0–150) during the pandemic (P < 0.0001). 60% of patients (range 0–100%) declared limited access to medical consultations. The majority of ECs (57%) could not provide 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring, whereas a median of 63% (range 0–100%) of the patients were regularly performing home BP monitoring. In the majority (75%) of the ECs, hypertension service returned to normal after the first wave of the pandemic. In 66% of the ECs, the physicians received many questions regarding the use of renin–angiotensin system (RAS) blockers. Stopping RAS-blocker therapy (in a few patients) either by patients or physicians was reported in 27 and 36.5% of the ECs. Conclusion: Patient care in hypertension ECs was compromised during the Covid-19-related shutdown. These data highlight the necessity to develop new strategies for hypertension care including virtual clinics to maintain services during challenging times.

Os interesses políticos dos destinatários das decisões judiciais, em muitos dos casos, são diametralmente opostos, o que torna dificultosa a delimitação da atuação funcional de cada Poder. Nesse contexto, o presente estudo objetiva trazer uma nova visão ao instituto do ativismo judicial. Embora, tradicionalmente, o termo "ativismo judicial" remeta a conotação negativa sobre um possível excesso da atuação do Judiciário, verse -á que nem toda decisão judicial que interfira, em certa medida, em funções típicas de outros Poderes, é uma decisão negativamente ativista. Essa visão contemporânea do ativismo judicial, inclusive, vem sendo progressivamente solidificada na jurisprudência do Supremo Tribunal Federal.
