Background. Hypertension is considered to be the most common condition in the general population. It is the most important risk factor for premature deaths in the world. Treatment compliance at every stage is a condition for successful antihypertensive therapy, and improving the effectiveness of treatment is a major goal in preventing cardiovascular incidents. Treatment noncompliance and lack of cooperation stem from numerous problems of older age, including frailty syndrome. Objective. To evaluate the effect of frailty syndrome on treatment compliance in older patients with hypertension. Methods. The study sample consisted of 160 patients (91 women, 69 men) with hypertension aged 65 to 78 (mean = 72.09, SD = 7.98 years), hospitalized at the University Clinical Hospital due to exacerbation of disease symptoms. Standardised research tools were used: the Tilburg Frailty Indicator questionnaire and the questionnaire for the assessment of treatment compliance in patients with hypertension, the Hill-Bone Compliance to High Blood Pressure Therapy Scale. Results. Frailty syndrome was diagnosed in 65.62% of patients: 35.62% with mild, 29.38% with moderate, and 0.62% with severe frailty. The treatment compliance was 36.14%. The prevalence of the FS and its three components (physical, psychological, social) significantly affected (p <0.05) the global score of the Hill-Bone Compliance to High Blood Pressure Therapy Scale and all subscales: “reduced sodium intake”, “appointment keeping”, and “antihypertensive medication taking”. Conclusions. The coexistence of frailty syndrome has a negative impact on the compliance of older patients with hypertension. Diagnosis of frailty and of the associated difficulties in adhering to treatment may allow for targeting the older patients with a poorer prognosis and at risk of complications from untreated or undertreated hypertension and for planning interventions to improve hypertension control.

Jiu-jitsu is a sport that involves different techniques to lead the opponent to submission, combats are characterized by intermittent efforts with changes in important cardiovascular variables. Thus, the aim was to evaluate the acute effects of a simulated jiu-jitsu match on blood pressure (BP) and the double product (DP) of fighters in the master category. The heart rate (HR), BP, and DP of six experienced fighters were measured, before and after the protocol. The combat consisted of four six-minute sessions with intervals of three minutes for recovery and measurement of the variables. Measurements were taken every 15 minutes, after the end of the fight. An increase in systolic (SBP) and mean BP (MAP) was observed after the last session. After 30 minutes, there was a decrease in MAP and SBP, until the end of the protocol. Diastolic BP (DBP) decreased after 30 minutes, returning to baseline after 45 minutes post-combat. HR remained high until 30 minutes of recovery. Despite the increase greater than 280% of the DP, verified immediately after the fight, 15 minutes of recovery was sufficient for this index to return to baseline values. The study shows that a jiu-jitsu match causes a significant increase in SBP and MAP, HR and PD with subsequent arterial hypotension.Keywords: cardiovascular physiological phenomena, blood pressure, martial arts.

Background. The topic relevance is determined by the increasing number of children with congenital heart defect (CHD) who require surgical correction at an early age. For further follow-up it is necessary to determine a functional status of the cardiovascular system (CVS), its adaptation to new conditions of hemodynamics, that is especially important in childhood during the period of morphological and functional changes in the growing organism. Aim. To assess the functional status of the CVS in children with CHD using a test with dosed exercise load (EL) to determine the need for an individual approach to physical rehabilitation.Materials and methods. The study included 80 children, who have been surgically treated for CHD by the age of 1 year. The study population included 32 (40.0%) boys and 48 (60.0%) girls; an average age of patients was 33.5 ± 4.28 months. The control group included 50 conditionally healthy children, with an average age of 35.0 ± 4.1 months; of which 23 (46%) were boys and 27 (54%) were girls. To assess the functional status of the CVS, a test with dosed EL was performed (10 squats in 20 s). Blood pressure and heart rate were measured at rest and after exercise, the double product and the quality of response index were calculated. Results. In children with CHD 2 years after surgery, resting blood pressure was lower compared with healthy children, no significant differences in heart rate between groups were found. The double product in children of the main group was close to above average value. Analysis of hemodynamic changes due to EL showed a more pronounced increase in heart rate and less pronounced increase in pulse pressure and stroke volume in children with CHD after correction, which indicates the adaptation of CVS to EL due to an increase in the rate rather than the strength of heart contractions. The quality of response index in the group of children with CHD corresponded to an irrational reaction to EL. Analysis of CVS responses to the load showed that the most prevalent type was asymptaticotonic one (when there is an increase in heart rate and almost no changes in blood pressure). In the hypertensive type (revealed in a small number of children), there is a significant increase in both heart rate and systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The time of hemodynamics backing up to the baseline parameters did not exceed 5 minutes in both groups, no child complained during the test. Conclusions. In young children who had surgical correction for septal CHD in infancy, blood pressure is characterized by low parameters, that is associated with a possible alteration in the regulation of vascular tone. The predominant type of the CVS response to EL in young children with septal CHD which was corrected in infancy is the asympathicotonic one with a normal period of restoration of hemodynamics to the baseline parameters. The test with EL allows us to individualize the program of physical rehabilitation of young children who had surgery for septal CHD in infancy, taking into account the status of CVS and the initial fitness
