The purpose of this study was to further illustrate the relationship between baroreceptor reflex sensitivity (BRS) and hypertensive end-organ damage (EOD) and to test the hypothesis that impairment of BRS aggravates EOD in hypertension. We studied baroreflex-mediated changes in heart rate [expressed as baroreceptor sensitivity to heart rate control (BRSHR)] and blood pressure [expressed as baroreceptor sensitivity to blood pressure control (BRSBP)] in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) that were used as controls, both at the age of 50–52 wk. Rats were also instrumented to record BP, HR, and BP variability (BPV) in the conscious, unrestrained state. In SHR compared with WKY, BP and BPV were significantly increased, whereas BRSHR and BRSBP were significantly decreased. SHR had remarkable EOD when compared with WKY (EOD score: 6.3 ± 2.5 vs. 2.9 ± 0.8, P < 0.01). Univariate regressive analysis demonstrated that EOD score was increased with BP and BPV and decreased with BRS. In multivariate analysis, EOD score was predicted by greater systolic BP and lower BRS and HR variability. These results indicate that BRS is negatively related to BPV and EOD score, and impaired BRS might be one of the major causes for hypertensive EOD.

The present study was designed to investigate the effects of low-dose ketanserin on BPV (blood pressure variability), BRS (baroreflex sensitivity) and organ damage in SHR (spontaneously hypertensive rats). Ketanserin was mixed in rat chow at an estimated dose of 0.1 mg·kg−1 of body weight·day−1. SHR were treated for 4 months. BP (blood pressure) was then recorded continuously for 24 h in a conscious state. After determination of BRS, rats were killed for organ damage evaluation. It was found that long-term treatment with low-dose ketanserin did not lower BP levels, but significantly decreased BPV, enhanced BRS and reduced organ damage in SHR. Multiple regression analysis showed that the decrease in left ventricular hypertrophy was most closely correlated (or associated) with the increase in BRS, whereas the decrease in aortic hypertrophy was most closely associated with the decrease in diastolic BPV and the amelioration in renal lesion, with the increase in BRS and the decrease in diastolic BPV. In conclusion, low-dose ketanserin produces organ protection independently of its BP-lowering action in SHR, and this organ protection was importantly attributable to the enhancement of BRS and decrease in BPV.
