Abstract Objective Our work aimed to investigate the association between vigorous physical activity and visit-to-visit systolic blood pressure variability (BPV). Methods We conducted a post hoc analysis of SPRINT (Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial), a well-characterized cohort of participants randomized to intensive (<120 mmHg) or standard (<140 mmHg) SBP targets. We assessed whether patients with hypertension who habitually engage in vigorous physical activity would have lower visit-to-visit systolic BPV compared with those who do not engage in vigorous physical activity. Visit-to-visit systolic BPV was calculated by standard deviation (SD), average real variability (ARV), and standard deviation independent of the mean (SDIM) using measurements taken during the 1-, 2-, 3-, 6-, 9- and 12-month study visits. A medical history questionnaire assessed vigorous physical activity, which was divided into three categories according to the frequency of vigorous physical activity. Results A total of 7571 participants were eligible for analysis (34.8% female, mean age 67.9±9.3 years). During a follow-up of 1-year, vigorous physical activity could significantly reduce SD, ARV, and SDIM across increasing frequency of vigorous physical activity. There were negative linear trends between frequency of vigorous physical activity and visit-to-visit systolic BPV. Conclusions Long-term engagement in vigorous physical activity was associated with lower visit-to-visit systolic BPV.

Systolic Blood Pressure Variability

Introduction: Higher systolic blood pressure variability (BPV) after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) has been associated with an increased risk of hemorrhagic transformation and worse functional outcomes. However, the time-varying behavior of BPV after EVT and its effects on functional outcome have not been well characterized. Methods: We analyzed data from an international cohort of patients with acute large-vessel occlusion stroke who underwent EVT at 11 centers across North America, Europe, and Asia. Repeated time-stamped blood pressure data were recorded for the first 72 hours after thrombectomy. Parameters of BPV were calculated in 12-hour epochs using five established methodologies: standard deviation (SD), coefficient of variation (CV), average real variability (ARV), successive variation (SV), and residual SD (rSD). Patients’ overall mean BPV was then used to assign patients into tertiles for regression analysis: low BPV, intermediate BPV, and high BPV. Functional outcome was measured with the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 90 days. Results: Of the 1,791 patients (age 69 ± 14, NIHSS 15 ± 6) included in our analysis, 1,085 (60.6%) had a poor 90-day outcome (mRS >3). Patients with poor outcome had significantly higher systolic BPV (p<0.05) measured as standard deviation (SBP SD) at each epoch (Figure 1B). Compared to patients with low BPV, those in the highest tertile group had significantly greater odds of a poor functional outcome after adjusting for age, sex, hypertension, NIHSS, ASPECT, tPA, time to reperfusion, and TICI score (OR 1.5; 95% CI 1.2-2; p=0.001). Patients in the highest tertile of BPV demonstrated time-dependent variability with the highest SBP SD during the first 24 hours after thrombectomy (Figure 1A). Conclusions: Higher BPV measured by SBP SD appears to be associated with poor 90-day outcome in EVT-treated stroke patients. Early treatment strategies targeting early high BPV warrant further prospective investigation.

Systolic Blood Pressure Variability

Background: Visit-to-visit blood pressure variability (VVBPV) results from regional or systemic circulatory factors such as stiffness or neuro-hormonal factors. Association between VVBPV and long-term post-kidney transplant (KT) blood pressure (BP) is unknown. Method: VVBPV was measured by average successive variability (ASV), which is the average absolute difference between successive BP measured at 4, 12, and 24 weeks post-KT. Association between the VVBPV and BP at 48 weeks post-KT was examined by multiple linear regression. Results: Of all 105 KT recipients, mean age±SD was 54±12 years and 64 patients (61%) was female. Mean ASV of SBP and DBP were 16±12 mmHg (range 1-58) and 11±6.3 mmHg (range 1-29.5), respectively. Mean SBP at 24 and 48 weeks post-KT were 135±19 and 133±16 mmHg, respectively. Similar to SBP, mean DBP at 24 weeks post-KT was higher than DBP at 48 weeks (DBP 24 vs 48 weeks 80±12 vs 77±11 mmHg). Every 10-mmHg increase in ASV of SBP predicts 3.4 mmHg increase in SBP at 48 weeks post-KT (p 0.01; 95%CI 0.83, 6.14; Figure 1A). However, an increase in 10 mmHg of ASV of DBP predicts a decrease in DBP of 0.12 mmHg (p 0.12, 95%CI -0.28, 0.04; Figure 1B). After adjusted for age, gender, donor type (deceased vs living), induction immunosuppressive medications, pre-KT weight-spline interaction term at 70 kg, every 10 mmHg increase in ASV of SBP was significantly associated with 2.7 mmHg increase in SBP at 48 weeks post-KT (p 0.04, 95%CI 0.15, 5.29); whereas, 10 mmHg increase in ASV of DBP predicts a decrease in DBP of 2.13 mmHg with no statistical significance (p 0.16, 95% -5.14, 0.88) Conclusion: Higher VVSBPV during early post-KT predicts a higher SBP, but not DBP, at late post-KT period.

Abstract The association in hemodialysis patients between long-term predialysis blood pressure variability and intradialytic cardiac hemodynamics was assessed prospectively in 1070 patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis for more than 3 months. Predialysis blood pressure variability was assessed over 1-year intervals. Outcomes included factors were intradialytic hypotension and change in rate-pressure product. The final cohort’s mean age was 59 years, and 57% were males. Greater predialysis systolic blood pressure variability was associated with an increased risk of intradialytic hypotension (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.097; 95% confidence intervals 1.055 to 1.140) and change in rate-pressure product (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.213; 95% confidence intervals 1.163 to 1.265). Results were similar when blood pressure variability was stratified by baseline systolic blood pressure. Factors associated with higher systolic blood pressure variability were older age, female sex, longer duration of dialysis, and diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy, and lower levels of serum albumin. In conclusion, greater predialysis systolic blood pressure variability among hemodialysis patients was associated with greater intradialytic cardiac hemodynamic instability. Strategies to reduce blood pressure variability might be beneficial for hemodialysis patients.

Systolic Blood Pressure Variability

Background: Elevated blood pressure is linked to cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) biomarker abnormality. However, blood pressure levels vary over time. Less is known about the role of long-term blood pressure variability in cognitive impairment and AD pathophysiology. Objective: Determine whether long-term blood pressure variability is elevated across the clinical and biomarker spectrum of AD. Methods: Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative participants (cognitively normal, mild cognitive impairment, AD [n = 1,421]) underwent baseline exam, including blood pressure measurement at 0, 6, and 12 months. A subset (n = 318) underwent baseline lumbar puncture to determine cerebrospinal fluid amyloid-β and phosphorylated tau levels. Clinical groups and biomarker-confirmed AD groups were compared on blood pressure variability over 12 months. Results: Systolic blood pressure variability was elevated in clinically diagnosed AD dementia (VIM: F2,1195 = 6.657, p = 0.001, η2 = 0.01) compared to cognitively normal participants (p = 0.001), and in mild cognitive impairment relative to cognitively normal participants (p = 0.01). Findings were maintained in biomarker-confirmed AD (VIM: F2,850 = 5.216, p = 0.006, η2 = 0.01), such that systolic blood pressure variability was elevated in biomarker-confirmed dementia due to AD relative to cognitively normal participants (p = 0.005) and in biomarker-confirmed mild cognitive impairment due to AD compared to cognitively normal participants (p = 0.04). Conclusion: Long-term systolic blood pressure variability is elevated in cognitive impairment due to AD. Blood pressure variability may represent an understudied aspect of vascular dysfunction in AD with potential clinical implications.
