White matter hyperintensities mediate the association of nocturnal blood pressure with cognition. Neurology 2020; 94:e1803-e1810. [PMID: 32295824 PMCID: PMC7274843 DOI: 10.1212/wnl.0000000000009316] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2019] [Accepted: 11/12/2019] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To test the hypotheses that hypertension and nocturnal blood pressure are related to white matter hyperintensity (WMH) volume, an MRI marker of small vessel cerebrovascular disease, and that WMH burden statistically mediates the association of hypertension and dipping status with memory functioning, we examined the relationship of hypertension and dipping status on WMH volume and neuropsychological test scores in middle-aged and older adults. METHODS Participants from the community-based Maracaibo Aging Study received ambulatory 24-hour blood pressure monitoring, structural MRI, and neuropsychological assessment. Four hundred thirty-five participants (mean ± SD age 59 ± 13 years, 71% women) with available ambulatory blood pressure, MRI, and neuropsychological data were included in the analyses. Ambulatory blood pressure was used to define hypertension and dipping status (i.e., dipper, nondipper, and reverse dipper based on night/day blood pressure ratio <0.9, 0.9-1, and >1, respectively). Outcome measures included regional WMH and memory functioning derived from a neuropsychological test battery. RESULTS The majority of the participants (59%) were hypertensive. Ten percent were reverse dippers, and 40% were nondippers. Reverse dipping in the presence of hypertension was associated with particularly elevated periventricular WMH volume (F 2,423 = 3.78, p = 0.024) and with lowered memory scores (F 2,423 = 3.911, p = 0.021). Periventricular WMH volume mediated the effect of dipping status and hypertension on memory (β = -4.1, 95% confidence interval -8.7 to -0.2, p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Reverse dipping in the presence of hypertension is associated with small vessel cerebrovascular disease, which, in turn, mediates memory functioning. These results point toward reverse dipping as a marker of poor nocturnal blood pressure control, particularly among hypertensive individuals, with potentially pernicious effects on cerebrovascular health and associated cognitive function.

Nondipping Pattern and Cardiovascular and Renal Damage in a Population-Based Study (The STANISLAS Cohort Study). Am J Hypertens 2019; 32:620-628. [PMID: 30753257 DOI: 10.1093/ajh/hpz020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2018] [Revised: 01/25/2019] [Accepted: 02/01/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The attenuation of physiological nocturnal decline of blood pressure (BP)-called nondipper pattern-has previously been reported to be associated with target organ damage in hypertensive subjects. However, this association remains debated and poorly studied in normotensive patients. This study aimed to investigate the association between nondipper pattern and subclinical cardiovascular and renal damage in an initially healthy population-based cohort study. METHODS The STANISLAS Cohort is a single-center, familial longitudinal cohort composed of 1,006 families (4,295 subjects) recruited in 1993-1995 for a 5-year periodic health examination. A total of 1,334 subjects from the 4th visit (2011-2016) of the STANISLAS cohort were included. This 4th examination included estimated glomerular filtration rate, albumin/creatinine ratio, pulse wave velocity, central systolic BP, carotid intima-media thickness and distensibility, left ventricular mass index, left ventricular hypertrophy, diastolic dysfunction, and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). Nondipping status was defined as a mean reduction in systolic BP (SBP) or diastolic BP (DBP) lower than 10% during nighttime. RESULTS Data were obtained from 798 normotensive subjects (45 ± 14 years, 395 [49%] nondippers, SBP/DBP mmHg 24 hours: 116/71 ± 7/5) and 536 hypertensive patients (56 ± 11 years, 257 [48%] nondippers, SBP/DBP mmHg 24 hours: 127/78 ± 10/7). Mean 24-hour and daytime ABPM measurements were within the normal range, even in hypertensive participants (19% treated). The nondipping pattern was not associated with cardiovascular or renal alterations in this population. CONCLUSION In this middle-aged population with an overall 24-hour optimal BP control, the nondipper pattern was not associated with increased cardiovascular or renal damage.
