Hypertens Res 2024; 47:1391-1400. [PMID: 38485775 DOI: 10.1038/s41440-024-01628-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2023] [Revised: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 02/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/08/2024]
Abstract
We investigated blood pressure (BP) variability as assessed by beat-to-beat, reading-to-reading and day-to-day BP variability indices in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). In 786 hospitalized hypertensives (mean age, 53.2 years; 42.2% women), we performed 10-min beat-to-beat (n = 705), 24-h ambulatory (n = 779), and 7-day home BP (n = 445) measurements and the full overnight polysomnography. Mild, moderate and severe OSAHS were defined as an apnea-hypopnea index of 5-14, 15-29, and ≥ 30 events per hour, respectively. BP variability indices including variability independent of the mean (VIM), average real variability (ARV), and maximum-minimum difference (MMD), were compared across the OSAHS severity groups. In univariate analysis, beat-to-beat systolic VIM and MMD, reading-to-reading asleep systolic and diastolic ARV and MMD increased from patients without OSAHS, to patients with mild, moderate and severe OSAHS. This increasing trend for beat-to-beat systolic VIM and MMD remained statistically significant after adjustment for confounders (P ≤ 0.047). There was significant (P ≤ 0.039) interaction of the presence and severity of OSAHS with age and body mass index in relation to the beat-to-beat systolic VIM and MMD and with the presence of diabetes mellitus in relation to asleep systolic ARV. The association was stronger in younger (age < 50 years) and obese (body mass index ≥ 28 kg/m²) and diabetic patients. None of the day-to-day BP variability indices reached statistical significance (P ≥ 0.16). BP variability, in terms of beat-to-beat systolic VIM and MMD and asleep reading-to-reading asleep systolic ARV, were higher with the more severe OSAHS, especially in younger and obese and diabetic patients.

Tamborini A, Gharib M. Validation of a Suprasystolic Cuff System for Static and Dynamic Representation of the Central Pressure Waveform. J Am Heart Assoc 2024; 13:e033290. [PMID: 38591330 DOI: 10.1161/jaha.123.033290] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2023] [Accepted: 03/14/2024] [Indexed: 04/10/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Noninvasive pulse waveform analysis is valuable for central cardiovascular assessment, yet controversies persist over its validity in peripheral measurements. Our objective was to compare waveform features from a cuff system with suprasystolic blood pressure hold with an invasive aortic measurement. METHODS AND RESULTS This study analyzed data from 88 subjects undergoing concurrent aortic catheterization and brachial pulse waveform acquisition using a suprasystolic blood pressure cuff system. Oscillometric blood pressure (BP) was compared with invasive aortic systolic BP and diastolic BP. Association between cuff and catheter waveform features was performed on a set of 15 parameters inclusive of magnitudes, time intervals, pressure-time integrals, and slopes of the pulsations. The evaluation covered both static (subject-averaged values) and dynamic (breathing-induced fluctuations) behaviors. Peripheral BP values from the cuff device were higher than catheter values (systolic BP-residual, 6.5 mm Hg; diastolic BP-residual, 12.4 mm Hg). Physiological correction for pressure amplification in the arterial system improved systolic BP prediction (r2=0.83). Dynamic calibration generated noninvasive BP fluctuations that reflect those invasively measured (systolic BP Pearson R=0.73, P<0.001; diastolic BP Pearson R=0.53, P<0.001). Static and dynamic analyses revealed a set of parameters with strong associations between catheter and cuff (Pearson R>0.5, P<0.001), encompassing magnitudes, timings, and pressure-time integrals but not slope-based parameters. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that the device and methods for peripheral waveform measurements presented here can be used for noninvasive estimation of central BP and a subset of aortic waveform features. These results serve as a benchmark for central cardiovascular assessment using suprasystolic BP cuff-based devices and contribute to preserving system dynamics in noninvasive measurements.

Clin Auton Res 2023; 33:705-714. [PMID: 37776374 PMCID: PMC10993989 DOI: 10.1007/s10286-023-00979-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Accepted: 08/24/2023] [Indexed: 10/02/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Our aim was to test the hypothesis that patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) would exhibit augmented resting beat-to-beat blood pressure variability (BPV) that is associated with poor clinical outcomes independent of mean blood pressure (BP). In addition, since the arterial baroreflex plays a critical role in beat-to-beat BP regulation, we further hypothesized that an impaired baroreflex control would be associated with an augmented resting beat-to-beat BPV. METHODS In 25 sedentary patients with CKD stages III-IV (62 ± 9 years) and 20 controls (57 ± 10 years), resting beat-to-beat BP (finger photoplethysmography) and heart rate (electrocardiography) were continuously measured for 10 min. We calculated the standard deviation (SD), average real variability (ARV) and other indices of BPV. The sequence technique was used to estimate spontaneous cardiac baroreflex sensitivity. RESULTS Compared with controls (CON), the CKD group had significantly increased resting BPV. The ARV (2.2 ± 0.6 versus 1.6 ± 0.5 mmHg, P < 0.001; 1.6 ± 0.7 versus 1.3 ± 0.3 mmHg, P = 0.039; 1.4 ± 0.5 versus 1.0 ± 0.2 mmHg, P < 0.001) of systolic, diastolic and mean BP, respectively, was increased in CKD versus controls. Other traditional measures of variability showed similar results. The cardiac baroreflex sensitivity was lower in CKD compared with controls (CKD: 8.4 ± 4.5 ms/mmHg versus CON: 14.0 ± 8.2 ms/mmHg, P = 0.008). In addition, cardiac baroreflex sensitivity was negatively associated with BPV [systolic blood pressure (SBP) ARV; r = -0.44, P = 0.003]. CONCLUSION In summary, our data demonstrate that patients with CKD have augmented beat-to-beat BPV and lower cardiac baroreflex sensitivity. BPV and cardiac baroreflex sensitivity were negatively correlated in this cohort. These findings may further our understanding about cardiovascular dysregulation observed in patients with CKD.

Abstract
The Scientific Investigation Committee of the American Academy of Restorative Dentistry offers this review of the 2021 dental literature in restorative dentistry to inform busy dentists regarding noteworthy scientific and clinical progress over the past year. Each member of the committee brings discipline-specific expertise to coverage of this broad topical area. Specific subject areas addressed, in order of the appearance in this report, include COVID-19 and the dental profession (new); prosthodontics; periodontics, alveolar bone, and peri-implant tissues; implant dentistry; dental materials and therapeutics; occlusion and temporomandibular disorders; sleep-related breathing disorders; oral medicine and oral and maxillofacial surgery; and dental caries and cariology. The authors focused their efforts on reporting information likely to influence daily dental treatment decisions with an emphasis on future trends in dentistry. With the tremendous volume of dentistry and related literature being published daily, this review cannot possibly be comprehensive. Rather, its purpose is to update interested readers and provide important resource material for those interested in pursuing greater details on their own. It remains our intent to assist colleagues in negotiating the extensive volume of important information being published annually. It is our hope that readers find this work useful in successfully managing the patients and dental problems they encounter.

Time course of beat-to-beat blood pressure variability and outcome in patients with spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage. J Hypertens 2022; 40:1744-1750. [PMID: 35943102 DOI: 10.1097/hjh.0000000000003206] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Increased blood pressure variability (BPV) over 24 h or longer was associated with poor clinical outcomes in patients with intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH). However, the characteristics of beat-to-beat BPV, a rapid assessment of BPV and its association with outcome in ICH patients remain unknown. METHODS We consecutively and prospectively recruited patients with ICH between June 2014 and December 2020. Five-minute noninvasive beat-to-beat recordings were measured serially at three time points, 1-2, 4-6 and 10-12 days after ICH onset. BPV was calculated using standard deviation (SD) and variation independent of mean (VIM). Favourable outcome was defined as modified Rankin Scale score of less than 2 at 90 days. RESULTS The analysis included 66 participants (54.12 ± 10.79 years; 71.2% men) and 66 age and sex-matched healthy controls. Compared with that in healthy adults, beat-to-beat BPV was significantly increased 1-2 days after ICH and was completely recovered 10-12 days later. BPV recorded 1-2 days after ICH onset was higher among patients with unfavourable outcomes than among those with favourable outcomes (all P < 0.05) and higher BPV on days 1-2 was independently associated with a 3-month unfavourable outcome after adjustment for major covariates. CONCLUSION Beat-to-beat BPV was significantly increased among patients with ICH and could be completely recovered 10-12 days later. In addition, beat-to-beat BPV 1-2 days after ICH was independently associated with prognosis and could be regarded as a potential prognostic predictor and effective therapeutic target in the future.

Baroreflex sensitivity during rest and pressor challenges in obstructive sleep apnea patients with and without CPAP. Sleep Med 2022; 97:73-81. [PMID: 35728308 DOI: 10.1016/j.sleep.2022.05.846] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2021] [Revised: 05/09/2022] [Accepted: 05/29/2022] [Indexed: 01/25/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) increases sympathetic vasoconstrictor drive and reduces baroreflex sensitivity (BRS), the degree to which blood pressure changes modify cardiac output. Whether nighttime continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) corrects BRS in the awake state in OSA remains unclear. We assessed spontaneous BRS using non-invasive continuous BP and ECG recordings at rest and during handgrip and Valsalva challenges, maneuvers that increase vasoconstrictor drive with progressively higher BP, in untreated OSA (unOSA), CPAP-treated OSA (cpOSA) and healthy (CON) participants. METHODS In a cross-sectional study of 104 participants, 34 unOSA (age mean±std, 50.6±14.1years; Respiratory Event Index [REI] 21.0±15.3 events/hour; 22male), 31 cpOSA (49.6±14.5years; REI 23.0±14.2 events/hour; 22male; self-report 4+hours/night,5+days/week,6months), and 39 CON (42.2±15.0years; 17male), we calculated BRS at rest and during handgrip and Valsalva. Additionally, we correlated BP variability (BPV) with BRS during these protocols. RESULTS BRS in unOSA, cpOSA and CON was, respectively (mean±sdv in ms/mmHg), at rest: 14.8±11.8, 15.8±17.0, 16.1±11.3; during handgrip 13.3±7.6, 12.7±8.4, 16.4±8.7; and during Valsalva 12.7±8.0, 11.5±6.6, 15.1±8.9. BRS was lower in cpOSA than CON for handgrip (p=0.04) and Valsalva (p=0.03). BRS was negatively correlated with BPV in unOSA during Valsalva and handgrip for cpOSA, both R=-0.4 (p=0.02). BRS was negatively correlated with OSA severity (levels: none, mild, moderate, severe) at R=-0.2 (p=0.04,n=104). CONCLUSIONS As expected, BRS was lower and BPV higher in OSA during the pressor challenges, and disease severity negatively correlated with BRS. In this cross-sectional study, both CPAP-treated (self-reported) and untreated OSA showed reduced BRS, leaving open whether within-person CPAP improves BRS.

Lack of Effects of Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System Activity and Beta-Adrenoceptor Pathway Polymorphisms on the Response to Bisoprolol in Hypertension. Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:842875. [PMID: 35433877 PMCID: PMC9010557 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.842875] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2021] [Accepted: 02/10/2022] [Indexed: 01/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose This study examined the effects of plasma renin activity (PRA), angiotensin II (Ang II) and aldosterone (PAC) concentrations as well as common polymorphisms in the β1-Adrenoceptor gene (ADRB1) and the G-protein α-Subunit (Gαs) protein gene the G protein α-Subunit 1 gene (GNAS) on the blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) response to bisoprolol in Chinese patients with hypertension. Methods Patients with sitting clinic systolic BP (SBP) 140–169 mmHg and/or diastolic BP (DBP) 90–109 mmHg after placebo run-in were treated with open-label bisoprolol 2.5 mg daily for 6 weeks. Patients diagnosed as having primary aldosteronism or renal artery stenosis were excluded. PRA, Ang II and PAC concentrations were measured after the placebo run-in and after 6 weeks of treatment. The Ser49Gly and Arg389Gly polymorphisms in ADRB1 and the c.393C > T polymorphism in GNAS were genotyped by the TaqMan® assay. Results In 99 patients who completed the study, baseline PAC levels were significantly associated with baseline DBP and plasma potassium on univariate but not on multivariate linear regression analysis. PRA, Ang II, and PAC concentrations at baseline were not associated with changes in BP with bisoprolol treatment, but the values were all significantly reduced (PRA −0.141 ± 0.595 ng/mL/h, Ang II −2.390 ± 5.171 pmol/L and aldosterone −51.86 ± 119.1 pg/mL; all P < 0.05) following 6 weeks of bisoprolol treatment. There were no significant differences in BP or HR responses in patients with baseline PRA above or below the PRA cut-point of 0.65 ng/mL/h or the median value of 0.9 ng/ml/hour. There were no significant associations of the ADRB1 and GNAS polymorphisms with the clinic and ambulatory BP and HR responses to bisoprolol. Conclusion Baseline PRA, PAC and Ang II concentrations showed no significant association with the BP response to bisoprolol treatment, but all these parameters were reduced after 6 weeks of treatment with bisoprolol. The two common polymorphisms in ADRB1 and the c.393C > T polymorphism in GNAS had no significant association with the BP and HR response to bisoprolol in these patients.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is defined by pauses in breathing during sleep, but daytime breathing dysregulation may also be present. Sleep may unmask breathing instability in OSA that is usually masked by behavioral influences during wakefulness. A breath-hold (BH) challenge has been used to demonstrate breathing instability. One measure of breathing stability is breathing rate variability (BRV). We aimed to assess BRV during rest and in response to BH in OSA. METHODS We studied 62 participants (31 with untreated OSA: respiratory event index [mean ± SD] 20 ± 15 events/h, 12 females, age 51 ± 14 years, body mass index [BMI] 32 ± 8 kg/m2; 31 controls: 17 females, age 47 ± 13 years; BMI 26 ± 4 kg/m2). Breathing movements were collected using a chest belt for 5 minutes of rest and during a BH protocol (60 seconds baseline, 30 seconds BH, 90 seconds recovery, 3 repeats). From the breathing movements, we calculated median breathing rate (BR) and interquartile BRV at rest. We calculated change in BRV during BH recovery from baseline. Group comparisons of OSA vs control were conducted using analysis of covariance with age, sex, and BMI as covariates. RESULTS We found 10% higher BRV in OSA vs controls (P < .05) during rest. In response to BH, BRV increased 7% in OSA vs 1% in controls (P < .001). Resting BR was not significantly different in OSA and controls, and sex and age did not have any significant interaction effects. BMI was associated with BR at rest (P < .05) and change in BRV with BH (P < .001), but no significant BMI-by-group interaction effect was observed. CONCLUSIONS The findings suggest breathing instability as reflected by BRV is high in OSA during wakefulness, both at rest and in response to a stimulus. Breathing instability together with high blood pressure variability in OSA may reflect a compromised cardiorespiratory consequence in OSA during wakefulness.
