The Metabolic Syndrome

Results of the study related to polymorphism of ACE gene (rs1799752)‎, integrin αIIbβ3, and CSK gene (rs1378942) influencing development of arterial hypertension in young patients with metabolic syndrome are presented. Hypertension as a component of the metabolic syndrome was detected in 15.0% of young patients. Prevalence of mutant alleles of the studied genes among the examined patients was quite high, so homozygous DD genotype was found in 21.6%, and mutant D allele of the ACE gene in 47.4%. A high risk of hypertension in patients with MS was detected in carriers of the T allele of the CSK (rs1378942) gene – 54.8%, which was most often observed in a combination of polymorphic ACE and CSK gene loci (p = 0.0053).

Pulmonary Arterial

Dramatic advances in therapy for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in the last 20 years have improved survival from a median of 2.5 years in the pretreatment era to 7.5 years currently. However, impressive as that may seem, it is important to note that a median survival of 7.5 years is equivalent to that of surgically resected non-small cell lung cancer, thus underscoring the importance of lung transplantation as a treatment option in patients with PAH. In this edition of Advances, Edelman has reviewed the pathway to transplantation for patients with PAH, detailing the recommendations for timing of referral, listing for lung transplantation, the role of the lung allocation score in allocating a donor organ, and the outcome of lung transplantation.

Peripheral Chemoreflex

The baroreflex integrity in early-stage pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) remains uninvestigated. A potential baroreflex impairment could be functionally relevant and possibly mediated by enhanced peripheral chemoreflex activity. Thus, we investigated 1) the cardiac baroreflex in non-hypoxemic PAH; 2) the association between baroreflex indexes and peak aerobic capacity (i.e., V̇O2peak); and 3) the peripheral chemoreflex contribution to the cardiac baroreflex. Nineteen patients and 13 age- and sex-matched healthy adults (HA) randomly inhaled either 100% O2 (peripheral chemoreceptors inhibition) or 21% O2 (control session), while at rest and during a repeated sit-to-stand maneuver. Beat-by-beat analysis of R-R intervals and systolic blood pressure provided indexes of cardiac baroreflex sensitivity (cBRS) and effectiveness (cBEI). The PAH group had lower cBEIALL at rest (mean ± SD: PAH = 0.5 ± 0.2 vs HA = 0.7 ± 0.1 a.u., P = 0.02) and lower cBRSALL (PAH = 6.8 ± 7.0 vs HA = 9.7 ± 5.0 ms mmHg-1, P < 0.01) and cBEIALL (PAH = 0.4 ± 0.2 vs HA= 0.6 ± 0.1 a.u., P < 0.01) during the sit-to-stand maneuver versus the HA group. The cBEI during the sit-to-stand maneuver was independently correlated to V̇O2peak (partial r = 0.45, P < 0.01). Hyperoxia increased cBRS and cBEI similarly in both groups at rest and during the sit-to-stand maneuver. Therefore, cardiac baroreflex dysfunction was observed under spontaneous and, most notably, provoked blood pressure fluctuations in non-hypoxemic PAH, was not influenced by the peripheral chemoreflex, and was associated with lower V̇O2peak suggesting it could be functionally relevant.
