Abstract
Arterial stiffness measured by pulse wave velocity and pulse wave analysis has been widely studied in different populations in terms of its correlation with cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality. It remains unknown which arterial stiffness index is better for risk stratification in the general population. We included 4129 participants from Gaoyou County, Jiangsu Province, China, with a median follow-up of 11 years. The primary endpoint was cardiovascular mortality, and the secondary endpoint was all-cause mortality. Harrell's C-index, net reclassification improvement (NRI) and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) based on the Cox proportional hazards regression model were evaluated to assess predictive discrimination and accuracy. The associations between the 4 indices and cardiovascular mortality remained significant after adjusting for the Framingham Risk Score (FRS) and/or associated risk factors. Considering reclassification based on the newly integrated models (FRS model combined with the 4 indices), NRI for cardiovascular mortality showed that haPWV and baPWV had more significant improvement in reclassification compared with C1 and C2 [NRI with 95% CI: haPWV 0.410 (0.293, 0.523); baPWV 0.447 (0.330, 0.553); C1 0.312 (0.182, 0.454); C2 0.328 (0.159, 0.463); all P < 0.05]. This study showed that pulse wave velocity (haPWV and baPWV) provides better discrimination of long-term risk than arterial elasticity indices (C1 and C2) in the general population.

Impact of baseline blood pressure on the magnitude of blood pressure lowering by nifedipine gastrointestinal therapeutic system: refreshing the Wilder's principle. DRUG DESIGN DEVELOPMENT AND THERAPY 2017; 11:3179-3186. [PMID: 29158664 PMCID: PMC5683797 DOI: 10.2147/dddt.s143551] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
Background The objective of the study was to investigate the relationship between baseline blood pressure (BP) and the magnitude of BP reduction in patients with essential hypertension treated with nifedipine gastrointestinal therapeutic system (NGTS). Methods and patients One hundred and thirty-eight patients with essential hypertension were enrolled in this prospective, single-arm, open-label study. NGTS was administered for 24 weeks to achieve target BP of 140/90 mmHg. The dose could be uptitrated to 60 mg/d in case of unsatisfactory BP reduction after 4-week treatment. Home blood pressure measurement was recorded through the initial 1–14 days, and office BP and heart rate were evaluated at 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 weeks. Results One hundred and seventeen patients (84.8%) completed the study, and their average BP decreased by 19.0/11.3 mmHg after 24 weeks. The reduction of either systolic or diastolic BP was positively correlated with baseline BP at weeks 2, 4, or 24 after treatment (r=0.603–0.762, all p<0.05). The maximal BP reduction was observed in 83% of patients at 4 weeks of treatment even though the dose of nifedipine remained unchanged (30 mg/day). Conclusion These findings show that BP reduction is greatly influenced by the baseline level. Patients with high baseline BP had maximum reduction after treatment with NGTS, and the maximal antihypertensive efficacy of NGTS could appear even at 4 weeks after treatment initiation.
