Aim: To assess the effects of chronic evening oral administration of bromazepam alone or in combination with propranolol on ambulatory blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) in mild hypertensive subjects. Methods: Thirty-seven mild hypertensive patients after a 2-week placebo period were randomized to bromazepam 3 mg, propranolol 40 mg, bromazepam 3 mg plus propranolol 40 mg or placebo for 2 weeks according to a double-blind, double dummy, cross-over design. After each treatment period, 24-h BP and HR ambulatory monitoring was performed by using a non-invasive device. Results: Ambulatory monitoring showed that during night-time SBP and DBP values were unaffected by bromazepam as compared to placebo, whereas SBP was significantly reduced by propranolol both when taken alone and in combination with bromazepam. HR nocturnal values were significantly reduced by propranolol, whereas they were significantly increased by bromazepan both when taken alone (+11.5%, p < 0.05 vs. placebo) and in combination with propranolol (+12.8%, p < 0.05 vs. propranolol). No significant difference in day-time values of SBP, DBP and HR was observed among the 4 treatment groups. Conclusions: In mild hypertensive patients, evening consumption of bromazepam for a 2-week period did not affect BP, while it increased nocturnal HR. Such an increase was observed both when bromazepam was taken alone and in combination with propranolol, which suggests that it depends on a bromazepam mediated decrease in vagal tone. Whatever the mechanism, the HR nocturnal increase might be of clinical relevance, due to the role of high HR as cardiovascular risk factor, particularly in already at risk hypertensive subjects.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background During Ramadan, alterations in the daily patterns of sleep, activities and medication timing might contribute to changes in blood pressure (BP) and heart rate among hypertensive patients. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of medication timing during Ramadan on blood pressure and heart rate in hypertensive subjects taking their treatment once daily. Methods The study prospectively recruited 44 hypertensive patients between April and June 2019, followed up at the cardiology department of our   Hospital. A 24-hour pressure monitoring was carried out during two periods: prior to Ramadan and during the last ten days of Ramadan. Results We studied 29 women and 15 men, mean age was 58.7 years. 34% of the patients were diabetics and 16% had coronaropathy. 46% of the patients were on monotherapy, 43% on dual therapy and 11% on a triple antihypertensive therapy. During Ramadan, 57% of the patients took their treatment during the dinner (group1), whereas 43% took their treatment during the Shour (group 2). Average 24hour blood pressure in the whole group was 129 ± 18/74 ± 10 mmHg before Ramadan and 129 ± 19/74 ± 10 mmHg during Ramadan (p &gt; 0.05). Daytime and nighttime mean values of systolic and diastolic blood pressure as well as mean values of heart rate were not different between both periods regardless of age and gender. However, during Ramadan, those who took their treatment after dinner had significant higher values of 24 hour systolic BP, awake systolic and diastolic BP, asleep systolic and diastolic BP than those who took their treatment with the shour (p &lt; 0.05). Conclusion In this study, there were no significant changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressures as well as heart rate during the 2 periods. However, during Ramadan, a slight superiority of taking the treatment with the shour is observed.

Background: High blood pressure (BP) is one of the significant non-communicable diseases that are of high prevalence in our country. Hypertension (HTN) is responsible cause of 57% of stroke and 24% of coronary heart disease deaths in India. Eight classes of medications are currently used in the treatment of hypertension. Azilsartan medoxomil is a newly added FDA approved drug to the ARB class of antihypertensive agents. azilsartan and chlorthalidone combination is also got the FDA approval. There is limited study in between these two groups regarding efficacy especially in rural Bengal.Methods: A prospective observational study was done in medicine OPD of Bankura Sammilani Medical College for twelve weeks with two groups that are azilsartan (80mg) and fixed dose combination of azilsartan (40mg) plus chlorthalidone (12.5mg) in the age group of 18 to 55years of moderate hypertensive patients. Change of heart rate was assessed as safety parameter.Results: It was found that both the group of drugs are very much effective in lowering blood pressure constantly in respect of both systolic and diastolic BP but azilsartan monotherapy in high dose reduce systolic blood pressure slightly high. Significant change of heart rate was not seen with both the groups.Conclusions: Both the group was effective as well as safe in hypertensive patients.

Deceleration Time

Background: Early mitral flow deceleration time (DTE) is a prognostically validated marker of LV chamber stiffness. However, for any given LV stiffness, a higher E peak velocity (E) is associated with longer DTE, suggesting that the prognostic relevance of DTE might be influenced by variations in cardiac preload (e.g. during anti-hypertensive treatment). It is not known whether normalization of deceleration time for E-velocity (DTE/E) might be a more stable diastolic index for prediction of incident cardiovascular (CV) events in hypertensive patients during treatment, as compared to DTE. Methods: We evaluated 770 hypertensive patients (66±7 years; 42% women) with ECG-LV hypertrophy enrolled in the LIFE echo-substudy. Echocardiographic exams were performed annually for 5 years during anti-hypertensive treatment. Prognostic value of basal DTE/E was preliminary evaluated. Variation over time of both DTE/E and DTE were therefore analyzed in relation to incident combined fatal and non-fatal CV events. Results: During follow-up, 69 CV events occurred (9% of study population). Mean basal DTE/pE was 3.55±1.55 sec 2 /cm*10 −3. In univariate analysis baseline DTE/E was associated positively with age (r=0.10; p<0.01), relative wall thickness (r=0.13; p<0.01) and isovolumic relaxation time (r=0.26; p<0.001) and negatively with heart rate (r=−0.20; p<0.001); no association was found with systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, LV mass or ejection fraction. Unadjusted Cox regression showed a positive association between baseline DTE/E and CV events [(HR=1.21 (95%CI= 1.07–1.37); p=0.002]. In time-varying Cox model, independently of age, gender, type of anti-hypertensive treatment and in-treatment heart rate, higher in-treatment DTE/E was associated with higher rate of CV events [(HR=1.26 (95%CI= 1.04 –1.80); p<0.026], whereas no association was found for in-treatment DTE (p=NS). Conclusions: In a population of treated hypertensive patients with ECG-LV hypertrophy, the ratio of in-treatment DTE/E, but not DTE alone, independently predicts incident CV events. In high-risk hypertensive patients, normalization of DTE for E peak velocity might be preferred to DTE in evaluating diastolic function during anti-hypertensive treatment.
