Effects Of Aging

1. We studied the effects of aging on the variability of blood pressure in mild to moderate essential hypertensive subjects. 2. Cardiac index was greater and total peripheral resistance index was less in patients under 40 years (by an average of 1.06 litres min−1 m−2 and 9.23 mmHg 1−1 min−1 m−2) than in those over 40 respectively (P < 0.001 for each). 3. Pulse pressure/stroke volume was less by an average of 0.345 mmHg/ml in patients under 40 years than that in those over 40 (P < 0.001). Pulse pressure/stroke volume was correlated with age (r = 0.621), average systolic blood pressure (r = 0.623) and inversely with baroreflex sensitivity (r = −0.494). 4. Baroreflex sensitivity was less by an average of 3.1 ms/mmHg in patients over 30 years than in those under 30 (P < 0.025). Baroreflex sensitivity was inversely correlated with age (r = −0.617) and average systolic blood pressure (r = −0.589). 5. Beat by beat variability of systolic blood pressure was correlated with age (r = 0.460), particularly when the data of those in their twenties were excluded (r = 0.618), and significantly with pulse pressure/stroke volume (r = 0.650), average systolic blood pressure (r = 0.618) and inversely with baroreflex sensitivity (r = −0.477). These relationships were not observed for diastolic blood pressure. 6. Maximum difference in systolic blood pressure in a day was correlated with pulse pressure/stroke volume (r = 0.482) and average systolic blood pressure (r = 0.648) but not with baroreflex sensitivity. These relationships were not observed for diastolic blood pressure. 7. Variability of systolic blood pressure in patients over 30 years gradually increased with age. In contrast, those of systolic and diastolic blood pressures in subjects in their twenties were relatively large. This might be related to factors other than aging, presumably those which underlie the hyperdynamic circulatory state.

Significant Difference

Indirect blood pressure measurements were compared in 28 conscious cats using Doppler and oscillometric blood pressure-measuring devices. Ten cats were used to compare Doppler measurements between two examiners and 18 cats were used to compare Doppler and oscillometric measurements. The Doppler machine obtained systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings in 100% and 51% of attempts, respectively. With the oscillometric machine, systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings were obtained in 52% of the attempts. With the Doppler, measures of mean systolic blood pressure between two examiners were positively correlated, but there was no correlation for diastolic blood pressure measures. When comparing the results obtained by Doppler and oscillometric machines there was no significant difference between mean systolic blood pressure readings, but the oscillometric machine produced significantly higher estimates of diastolic blood pressure. In both cases, the standard deviations for the oscillometric machine were considerably larger than those for the Doppler machine. The first reading of systolic blood pressure obtained with the Doppler machine was an excellent predictor of the mean of five readings, but this was not so for the oscillometric machine. It took less than 5 min to obtain five readings in 37.5% of cases with the Doppler machine but this was true for only 5% of cases with the oscillometric machine. Two cats with ophthalmological lesions consistent with systemic hypertension were identified. In these two patients, systolic blood pressure measurements were between 200 and 225 mmHg when measured by Doppler, and between 140 and 150 mmHg when measured by the oscillometric machine. This suggests that a lower reference range for normal systolic blood pressure values should be used for the oscillometric device.

Abstract Background: There is no clear evidence for the target value of blood pressure control within 24 hours after Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Therefore, our study was designed to explore the relationship between blood pressure within 24 hours after PCI and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) during 3-year follow-up. Methods: This study is a prospective study. The study initially collected information of 552 patients. The start and end times of the study are from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2020. The independent variables of this study are the average systolic blood pressure and the average diastolic blood pressure within 24 hours after PCI. The dependent variable is the occurrence of MACE events in patients within 3 years after PCI. Results: A total of 514 subjects met the inclusion criteria. The average age of the study subjects is 61.92 ± 9.49 years old, of which 67.12% are male. 94 subjects had a MACE event within 3 years, and the occurrence rate was 18.29%. There is no significant non-linear or linear relationship between diastolic blood pressure and MACE events. There is a curvilinear relationship between the average systolic blood pressure within 24 hours of patients after PCI and MACE events within 3 years and the inflection point is 134. On the left side of the inflection point, the effect size and 95% CI are 1.22 and 1.04-1.43, respectively (P=0.017). The impact size and 95% CI at the right inflection point were 0.96 and 0.83-1.11, respectively (P=0.604). Conclusion: There is a non-linear relationship between systolic blood pressure and the occurrence of MACE events in 3 years, and its inflection point is 134mmHg. In the case of ensuring patient safety, we should control the patient's systolic blood pressure within 24 hours after surgery.

Background: Once a patent expires, generic analogue drugs are alternatives to brand name drugs. Because bioequivalence/biodistribution problems have been reported for many generic analogue drugs, we prospectively evaluated 31 patients to reveal the differences in the doses used and the efficacy and adverse events of two different intravenous esmolol formulations. Methods: This was a prospective observational pilot study. Our aim was to reveal the possible differences in the required doses between two different formulations (brand name drug vs generic analogue drug) of intravenous esmolol in beats per minute, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure in intra- and postoperative patients with supraventricular tachycardia and hypertension. The patients were categorised into two groups according to the medication they received (brand name drug or generic analogue drug). Results: Esmolol was given to 31 patients (16 generic analogue drug and 15 brand name drug). Although there was a statistically significant difference in bolus (mg/kg) and continued (mg/kg/h) drug dose used (brand name drug/generic analogue drug, mean (standard deviation), 0.3 (0.1) vs 0.38 (0.1), p = 0.03 for bolus dose, and 0.22 (0.09) vs 0.29 (0.08) for continued dose at 10 min (p = 0.03), 0.19 (0.06) vs 0.24 (0.05) at 20 min (p = 0.01) and 0.14 (0.05) vs 0.18 (0.05) at 30 min (p = 0.02)), there were no time-related statistical significant differences in the reduction rates of the two drugs (p = 0.47). There were no time-related statistically significant differences between the two groups in systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure and beats per minute, nor in their adverse events. Conclusion: In this pilot study, smaller doses were given for controlling the patient’s haemodynamics when a brand name drug was used. Because there were no significant time-related differences in the reduction rates of the two drugs nor in any haemodynamic differences between the two groups, optimal titration of the drug used could effectively control the patient’s haemodynamics. The adverse events were also similar in both groups.

Abstract Introduction: Hypertensive crisis defines as a sudden rise in blood pressure that can adversely affect the vital organs. As such, it is recommended to take midazolam to lower the blood pressure in patients of hypertensive crisis. This study aims to investigate the midazolam efficacy as an emergency care to control the blood pressure in patients diagnosed with hypertensive crisis. Methods The current paper represents a double-blinded clinical trial study that examines the patients of the hypertensive crisis who referred to Imam Hossein Hospital of Shahroud, 2018. Patients with systolic/diastolic blood pressure greater than 180/110 mm Hg and with healthy vital organs were selected randomly and divided into three groups of 43 participants. All patients’ blood pressure in both arms, and after a period of 10 minutes in the left arm, was checked and was checked again after administering the medication for 4 times of 15 minutes till 1 hour complete. IBM SPSS Amos 23 was implemented. One-way ANOVA, Chi-Square and Repeated measure tests were performed to carry out statistical analysis. The level of significance of 0.05 was considered. Results in the group of midazolam, it was observed a reduction of 20.6% (P = 0.024), 17.4% (P = 0.001), and 19.1% (P = 0.009) for the systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and blood pressure average, respectively. In such case, it was also indicated to be a significant difference of the reduction before and after the treatment. The group of captopril showed a decrease of 19.9% (P = 0.001), 13.5% (P = 0.008), and 16.7% (P = 0.001) for the systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and blood pressure average, respectively. It was also observed to be a significant difference in reducing the blood pressure before and after the treatment. The group of midazolam and captopril showed the greatest reduction of blood pressure before, in the middle, and after carrying out the treatment methods. As such, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and the blood pressure average changed to the reduction of 23.5% (P = 0.047), 17.4% (P = 0.021), and 20.5% (P = 0.031), respectively. No significant difference was observed among these three groups (P = 0.239).

Introduction: Laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation causes significant sympathetic response resulting in hypertension and tachycardia. In individuals with systemic hypertension, coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease and intracranial aneurysm, the effect of this transient sympathetic response can evoke life threatening conditions like pulmonary oedema, cardiac failure and cerebrovascular haemorrhage. Methods: Patients were randomly divided into two groups, 30 in each group. Group I received 50 mg of esmolol and group II received lignocaine 2 mg/kg. Haemodynamic parameters like pulse, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure were measured before induction of anaesthesia, immediately after intubation then at intervals of one minute, three minutes, five minutes, seven minutes and 10 minutes. Results: There was no significant difference in demographic or base line vital signs between two groups (Table 1). The mean systolic blood pressure increased on laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation by 15 mmHg in the group I whereas in group II it was 17.4 mmHg. There was a significant rise in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in both the groups, but the rise was lesser in group II than in group I. Conclusion: Both esmolol and lignocaine were not effective in attenuating hemodynamic stress response to laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation; however esmolol was superior to lignocaine in blunting the stress response.

Using Data

Hypertension is commonly found in obesity patients. Age affects the occurrence of hypertension. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of obesity on blood pressure levels in early adulthood males (<35 years) and middle adulthood males (?35 years). This is an observational analytic study using data from medical check-up records of male adult office workers in Bandung. The data was analyzed with Mann-Whitney test (? = 0.05) and Chi-Square to find the odds ratio (OR). The results showed that out of 110 data in medical records, there were 79 (71.82%) obese and 31 (28.18%) non-obese. In early adulthood males (<35 years) there is no significant difference between non-obese with obese in systolic blood pressure (p=0.779) and diastolic blood pressure (p=0.779). In middle adulthood males (?35 years) there was a highly significant difference between non-obese with obese on systolic blood pressure (p=0.001) and diastolic blood pressure (p=0.003). There was a significant relationship between obesity and hypertension (p=0.048) with OR=3.73. In conclusion, in early adulthood males (<35 years) obese does not have an effect on the development of hypertension, while in middle adulthood males, obesity increases the risk of developing hypertension by 3.73 times.
