Background and Purpose— This study used ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring to generate BP and heart rate (HR) profiles soon after stroke onset and evaluated the association between determined values and 3-month stroke outcomes. Methods— We analyzed 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring records from 104 patients with acute ischemic stroke. Ambulatory BP monitoring was attached at the second and eighth hospitalization days (Days 1 and 7). Both BP and HR were characterized using baseline, mean, maximum, and minimum values and coefficient of variation during 24-hour recording periods. Outcomes at 3 months were assessed as independence according to a modified Rankin Scale score of ≤2 and poor according to the score of ≥5. Results— Sixty-six (63%) patients achieved independence and 12 (11%) had poor outcomes. Mean ambulatory BP monitoring values changed from 150.5±19.5/85.7±11.3 mm Hg on Day 1 to 139.6±19.3/80.0±11.7 mm Hg on Day 7. After multivariate adjustment, mean values of systolic BP (OR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.45–0.85), diastolic BP (0.61; 0.37–0.98), pulse pressure (0.55; 0.33–0.85), and HR (0.61; 0.37–0.98) recorded on Day 1 as well as mean HR on Day 7 (0.47; 0.23–0.87) were inversely associated with independence and mean values of systolic BP (1.92; 1.15–3.68), diastolic BP (5.28; 1.92–22.85), and HR (4.07; 1.83–11.88) on Day 1 as well as mean HR on Day 7 (4.92; 1.36–36.99) were positively associated with a poor outcome. Conclusions— All of systolic BP, diastolic BP, pulse pressure, and HR on Day 1 and HR on Day 7 assessed using ambulatory BP monitoring were associated with outcomes of patients with stroke at 3 months.

Objective. To provide reference data for ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and to determine the influence of age, sex, and race on these values. Methods. ABPM was performed on 300 healthy, normotensive boys and girls between the ages of 10 and 18 years, including 160 boys and 140 girls, of whom 149 were white and 151 were black. Mean systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and heart rate (HR) while awake and during sleep were calculated for black and white boys and girls aged 10 to 12 years, 13 to 15 years, and 16 to 18 years. Results. Boys compared with girls 10 to 12 years of age had higher mean (±SD) SBP (115 ± 9 vs 112 ± 9 mm Hg; P < .01) and DBP (67 ± 7 vs 65 ± 5 mm Hg; P < .01) while awake. Boys compared to girls 13 to 15 years of age had higher SBP while awake (116 ± 11 vs 112 ± 8 mm Hg; P < .01). Boys compared with girls 16 to 18 years of age had higher SBP while awake (125 ± 12 vs 111 ± 9 mm Hg; P < .01) and during sleep (116 ± 11 vs 106 ± 9 mm Hg). Comparisons within sex showed similar changes with age for boys and girls. Blacks compared with whites 13 to 15 years of age had higher SBP during sleep (109 ± 11 vs 105 ± 10 mm Hg; P < .01), and blacks compared with whites 16 to 18 years of age had higher DBP during sleep (66 ± 7 vs 58 ± 6 mm Hg; P < .01). Comparisons across age groups within race showed that blacks 16 to 18 years of age had higher SBP during sleep than blacks 10 to 12 years of age (109 ± 11 vs 104 ± 10 mm Hg), and higher DBP during sleep (66 ± 7 mm Hg; P < .01) than blacks 10 to 12 years of age (61 ± 7 mm Hg; P < .01) and 13 to 15 years of age (61 ± 8; P < .01 mm Hg). The changes with age were not significant for white subjects. Conclusion. These results provide age-specific reference data for ABPM in youths. These values differ by sex (boys more than girls) and race (Blacks more than Whites).

Abstract Aim In recent studies, lack of fall in nocturnal blood pressure (BP) has been presented as an independent predictor of poor prognosis. The aim of this study is to investigate the prognostic value of various variables of BP by 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) measurement and sex-related differences after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). Methods This study included 100 patients who underwent PTCA in the authors’ institute from June 2017 to January 2018. They were monitored by 24-hour ABP for 1 day in the hospital. Results One hundred patients were recruited in this study with mean age of 61.64 years, with female-to-male ratio of 0.27:1. All demographic, clinical, and laboratory parameters including the ABP parameters were comparable between females and males, except smoking and alcoholism that were more frequent in males.Out of 100 patients, 41 had nocturnal dipping in BP and 59 did not have nocturnal dipping. In this study, the variables among nondippers, 16 (27.1%) were females, 43 (72.8%) were males, 45 (63.3%) had diabetes mellitus (DM), 46 (75.4%) had hypertension (HTN), mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) was 141.7 ± 13.9 mm Hg, mean diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was 86.34 ± 5.64 mm Hg, mean pulse pressure (PP) was 55.39 ± 9.25 mm Hg, and pulse-wave velocity (PWV) was 6.69 ± 2.22 m/s.In females were more nondippers (27.1%) than dippers (12.1%), which was statistically significant (p = 0.05). Nondippers were more among hypertensive patients (77.9% vs. 36.5%; p = 0.00). Higher mean SBP (p = 0.001), higher mean BP (p = 0.032), and higher mean pulse pressure (p = 0.00) were observed in nondippers.However, age, ejection fraction (EF), presence of DM, coronary artery disease (CAD) severity, type of presentation, and PWV were not different in dipper versus nondippers. Conclusion With comparable clinical, laboratory parameters along with BP parameters between females and males, immediate post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) patients, female PCI patients had more nondippers (p = 0.05). Overall nondippers had higher SBP, mean BP, and PP than dippers. Diabetes, severity of CAD, and type of presentation of CAD (as ACS or CSA) did not influence the nocturnal dipping quality of the BP.

Objective.The possible effect of blood pressure measurements per se on heart rate variability (HRV) was studied in the setting of concomitant ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and Holter ECG monitoring (HM).Methods.In 25 hypertensive patients (14 women and 11 men, mean age: 58.1 years), 24-hour combined ABPM and HM were performed. For every blood pressure measurement, 2-minute ECG segments (before, during, and after measurement) were analyzed to obtain time domain parameters of HRV: SDNN and rMSSD. Mean of normal RR intervals (MNN), SDNN/MNN, and rMSSD/MNN were calculated, too. Parameter variations related to blood pressure measurements were analyzed using one-way ANOVA with multiple comparisons.Results.2281 measurements (1518 during the day and 763 during the night) were included in the analysis. Both SDNN and SDNN/MNN had a constant (the same for 24-hour, daytime, and nighttime values) and significant change related to blood pressure measurements: an increase during measurements and a decrease after them (p<0.01for any variation).Conclusion.In the setting of combined ABPM and HM, the blood pressure measurement itself produces an increase in short-term heart rate variability. Clarifying the physiological basis and the possible clinical value of this phenomenon needs further studies.
