To investigate the impact of visit-to-visit systolic blood pressure variability (BPV), diastolic BPV, mean arterial pressure variability, and pulse pressure variability on cognitive decline and incident dementia in noninstitutionalized patients aged ≥65 years. A total of 3319 subjects from the S.AGES (Sujets AGÉS—Aged Subjects) cohort underwent clinical examinations every 6 months during 3 years. Variability was evaluated using standard deviation (SD), coefficient of variation, average real variability, successive variation, variation independent of mean, and residual SD. Cognition was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination and dementia with the Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Linear mixed models and Cox proportional hazards models were used. Higher systolic BPV was associated with poorer cognition independently of baseline SBP: adjusted 1-SD increase of coefficient of variation: β (SE)=−0.12 (0.06), P =0.04. Similar results were observed for diastolic BPV and mean arterial pressure variability: β (SE)=−0.20 (0.06), P <0.001 for both. Higher pulse pressure variability was no longer associated with cognitive function after adjustment for age, except with residual SD ( P =0.02). Among the 3319 subjects, 93 (2.8%) developed dementia. Higher systolic BPV was associated with greater dementia risk (adjusted 1-SD increase of coefficient of variation: hazard ratios=1.23 [95% CI, 1.01–1.50], P =0.04). Similar results were found for diastolic BPV and mean arterial pressure variability ( P <0.01). Pulse pressure variability was not associated with dementia risk. Beyond hypertension, higher BPV is a major clinical predictor of cognitive impairment and dementia. Further studies are needed to assess whether controlling BP instability could be a promising interventional target in preserving cognition among older adults.

The objective of the present study was to analyze the role of the arterial chemoreceptors in arterial pressure alterations produced by sinoaortic denervation (SAD) in rats. The mean arterial pressure during 2 h of continuous computerized beat-to-beat recordings was higher after aortic denervation (AD; 130 +/- 2 and 124 +/- 3 mmHg, respectively), lower after sinus denervation (SD; 101 +/- 1 and 101 +/- 3 mmHg), and remained unaltered after SAD (121 +/- 3 and 108 +/- 2 mmHg) 1 and 20 days after denervation compared with control rats (114 +/- 1 mmHg). Hypotensive effect of SD was confirmed when arterial pressure was recorded in the same animal before and after SD (from 112 +/- 2 to 103 +/- 2 mmHg). A similar effect was observed after isolated carotid body artery (CBA) ligation (from 114 +/- 3 to 104 +/- 3 mmHg). Furthermore, CBA ligation attenuated by 13% the hypertension after AD (from 136 +/- 2 to 118 +/- 3 mmHg). Bradycardic response to phenylephrine and arterial pressure variability were markedly altered by SAD and AD but remained normal after SD. In contrast, the chemoreflex (intravenous KCN) was abolished after SAD, SD, and CBA ligation but was preserved after AD. These data suggest that the arterial pressure alteration produced by SAD in rats represents the net effect of the abolition of inhibitory (baroreceptor deafferentation) and excitatory (chemoreceptor deafferentation) influences on the arterial pressure.

Patients with hypertension (HT) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have a high risk of cardiovascular complications. Up to now, there is no optimal strategy for combined antihypertensive therapy. Still, the data of 24-hour blood pressure monitoring (BPM) are important while choosing treatment tactics. The aim of the paper is to study the features of indicators in patients with arterial hypertension (AH) and COPD. Materials and methods. 130 patients with HT were included in the study. The main group (n=90) included comorbid patients with HT and COPD, their average age was 61.30±1.01; the comparison group (n=40) consisted of patients with HT, their average age was 59.10±1.53. All patients underwent 24-hour BPM. Results. Comorbid patients revealed an increase in the mean 24-hour and night systolic and mean arterial pressure values as well as a significant increase in the load index of systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressure. Also, comorbid patients demonstrated higher blood pressure in contrast to the patients of the comparison group. They had increased systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure variability and a quicker rate of morning blood pressure rise. According to 24-hour blood pressure dynamics, pathological types of the 24-hour blood pressure curve, a higher frequency of the night-peaker profile dominated in patients with COPD if compared to patients with HT. Conclusion. The obtained data indicated a high risk of cardiovascular complications in comorbid patients, early target organ damage and an unfavorable disease prognosis. It means that both further study of hypertension clinical course in such patients and personalization of antihypertensive therapy are relevant.

Пациенты с артериальной гипертензией (АГ) и хронической обструктивной болезнью легких (ХОБЛ) имеют высокий риск возникновения кардиоваскулярных осложнений. В настоящее время в лечении не определена наиболее оптимальная стратегия комбинированной антигипертензивной терапии. Для выбора тактики терапии важную роль играют показатели суточного мониторирования артериального давления (СМАД). Цель. Изучить особенности показателей СМАД у пациентов с АГ на фоне ХОБЛ. Материалы и методы. В исследование включено 130 пациентов с АГ. В основную группу (n=90) вошли пациенты с АГ и ХОБЛ (средний возраст – 61,30±1,01 года), в группу сравнения (n=40) – больные только АГ (средний возраст – 59,10±1,53 года). Всем пациентам проведено СМАД. Результаты. У пациентов с коморбидностью выявлены следующие особенности суточных показателей артериального давления: увеличение значений среднесуточных и средненочных показателей систолического и среднего артериального давления; существенное повышение индекса нагрузки систолическим, диастолическим и средним артериальным давлением. Также эти больные отличались от пациентов группы сравнения более высокими значениями пульсового давления, имели повышенную вариабельность систолического, диастолического и среднего артериального давления, у них наблюдалось увеличение скорости утреннего подъема артериального давления. Суточная динамика артериального давления у пациентов с ХОБЛ характеризовалась преобладанием патологических типов суточной кривой АД, более высокой частотой профиля night-peaker по сравнению с больными только АГ. Выводы. Выявленные особенности свидетельствуют о высоком риске сердечно-сосудистых осложнений у пациентов с коморбидностью, раннем поражении органов-мишеней и неблагоприятном прогнозе заболевания, что требует дальнейшего изучения особенностей клинического течения АГ у таких больных и индивидуализации антигипертензивной терапии. Ключевые слова: артериальная гипертензия, хроническая обструктивная болезнь легких, суточное мониторирование, артериальное давление.

Objective: Design an “in house” software for screening preeclampsia by maternal factors and mean arterial pressure at 11 – 13 gestational weeks in commune health centers. Methods: Based on the algorithms for calculating the risk of preeclampsia (PE) by maternal factors and mean artirial pressure at 11 - 13 gestational weeks in the study results of the authors, an “in house” software was deigned in Excel. The results of prediction preeclampsia by The Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF)(version 2.3) were compared with the results by “in house” software in 1110 singleton pregnant women. Results: The “in house” software met the requirements for calculating the risks of PE and save data. FMF risk for gestational hypertension disorder in pregnancy by maternal factors, mean arterial pressure,uterine artery Doppler and PAPP-A has an area under the curve of 0.68 (95%CI: 0.59 – 0.78). The “in house” software risk for gestational hypertension in pregnancy by maternal factors, mean arterial pressure has an area under the curve of 0.643 (0.55 – 0.73) There was no statistically significant different between two programs (p:0.52). The risk cut-off 1:50 in the prediction of gestational hypertension of the “in house” software was used to identify the group of high risk with detetion rate (DR) 28.6% (95%CI: 14.9-42.2) comparing to 40.5% (95%CI:25.6-55.3) of FMF. Conclusion: The FMF version 2.3 is better but in the absence of Doppler ultrasound and PAPP-A test in the commune health cares, the “in house” software for screening PE is a good tool for councelling, following up and early intervention for PE.
