Combined exercise training (CT) including aerobic plus resistance exercises could be more effective in comparison with aerobic exercise (AT) alone in reducing blood pressure variability (BPV) in hypertensive patients. We report that CT was indeed more effective than AT in reducing short-term BPV, and both exercise modalities reduced BP levels to the same extent. CT appears to be a more appropriate exercise modality if the objective is to reduce BPV in addition to BP levels.

Abstract Background The predictive importance of visit-to-visit blood pressure variability (VVV) for high blood pressure (HBP) in a pediatric population has been largely unsettled. We aimed to evaluate it based on Health Promotion Program for Children and Adolescents (HPPCA), a school-based surveillance conducted from 2012 to 2018 in Suzhou, China. Methods A total of 330,618 participants had BP measurement in 2018 and ≥ 3 BP records during 2012–2017, were recruited from HPPCA. Absolute BP values (in mmHg) were converted into age-, sex- and height- normalized z-scores. VVV was expressed as standard deviation (SD), coefficient of variation (CV) or average real variability (ARV) of BP z-scores during 2012–2017. Logistic regression models were used to assess the associations between VVV and HBP in 2018. Results In 2018, 42,554 (12.87%) subjects were defined as HBP. VVV, except for SBP-CV and DBP-CV, was significantly higher in the HBP group than normotensives group. After adjusting for covariates including mean BP values from 2012 to 2017, SBP-SD, SBP-ARV, DBP-SD and DBP-ARV, increased the risk of HBP by 5.70 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 5.54–5.87], 4.10 (95% CI 4.01–4.20), 4.70 (95% CI 4.50–4.90) and 3.39 (95% CI 3.28–3.50) times, respectively. Notably, SBP-SD significantly improved risk discrimination of HBP based on other risk variables (c-statistics, net reclassification index and integrated discrimination improvement significantly increased). Conclusions Higher SD or ARV of BP, was independently related with higher probability of HBP in Chinese pediatric population. SBP-SD could be potentially helpful for detecting HBP. Future researches investigating the predictive value of VVV are warrant.

Enhanced blood pressure variability contributes to left ventricular hypertrophy and end-organ damage, even in the absence of hypertension. We hypothesized that the greater number of high-blood pressure episodes associated with enhanced blood pressure variability causes cardiac hypertrophy and dysfunction by activation of mechanosensitive and autocrine pathways. Normotensive mice were subjected to sinoaortic baroreceptor denervation (SAD) or sham surgery. Twelve weeks later, blood pressure variability was doubled in SAD compared with sham-operated mice. Blood pressure did not differ. Cardiac hypertrophy was reflected in greater heart/body weight ratios, larger myocyte cross-sectional areas, and greater left ventricular collagen deposition. Furthermore, left ventricular atrial and brain natriuretic peptide mRNA expression was greater in SAD than in sham-operated mice. SAD had higher left ventricular end-diastolic pressures and lower myocardial contractility indexes, indicating cardiac dysfunction. Cardiac protein content of phosphorylated p125 focal adhesion kinase (p125 FAK) and phosphorylated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) was greater in SAD than in sham-operated mice, indicating activation of mechanosensitive pathways of cardiac hypertrophy. Furthermore, enhanced cardiac renin and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGFbeta1) protein content indicates activation of autocrine pathways of cardiac hypertrophy. Adrenal tyrosine hydroxylase protein content and the number of renin-positive glomeruli were not different, suggesting that sympathetic activation and the systemic renin-angiotensin system did not contribute to cardiac hypertrophy. In conclusion, more frequent blood pressure rises in subjects with high blood pressure variability activate mechanosensitive and autocrine pathways leading to cardiac hypertrophy and dysfunction even in the absence of hypertension.
