中年人运动中及恢复期血压变化及其与血浆一氧化氮的关系

目的探讨中年人群运动中及恢复期血压变化及其与血浆一氧化氮(NO)的关系。方法选择49例健康的中年志愿者,于单次极量运动平板试验前、运动高峰期和运动终止30 min后抽取静脉血样,测定血浆NO的稳定代谢产物硝酸盐及亚硝酸盐的浓度之和,同时在运动及恢复期过程中监测血压。采用Pearson相关分析法分析血浆NO浓度与运动及恢复期血压间的关系,并比较恢复期血浆NO明显增加者与降低者的血压变化情况。结果运动前基线血浆NO浓度为(44．42±23．34)μmol／L,与基线收缩压呈负相关(r =-0．284,P<0．05)。运动高峰期血浆NO平均值增至(68．86±29．45)μmol／L(P<0．01),与运动高峰期血压无相关性。恢复期血浆NO平均值为(67．07±43．21)μmol／L,与恢复期7 min收缩压呈负相关(r= -0．337,P<0．05)。运动终止30 min后的恢复期,约25％志愿者恢复期血浆NO与运动高峰期比较明显增加,50％维持相近水平,另有25％明显下降。恢复期血浆NO增加组(A组)Bruce 2级运动收缩压明显低于恢复期血浆NO降低组(B组)(P<0．05),运动收缩压的增加较B组慢(P<0．05),恢复期3次收缩压均低于B组(均P<0．05或0．01),且恢复较快(P<0．05)。结论NO可能参与运动前血管张力的调节及运动终止后收缩压的恢复过程,运动时外周血管舒张能力可能与恢复期血浆NO的水平有关。     

冠状动脉造影正常女性冠状动脉血流与血管舒张功能的相关研究

目的探讨冠状动脉造影正常女性冠状动脉血流与血管舒张功能的相关性。方法选取2006年3月至2008年10月在北京煤炭总医院进行冠状动脉造影正常的女性患者130例,其中慢血流者67例（慢血流组）,正常血流者63例（正常组）。以Gibson方法进行TIMI帧数的分析,测定两组患者血浆内皮素（ET-1）和一氧化氮（NO）浓度,并分析其与冠状动脉血流的相关性。结果慢血流组左前降支[（36．84-6．0）帧与（32．14-5．5）帧]、左回旋支[（23．14-4．2）帧与（9．1±3．0）帧]、右冠状动脉[（22．24-4．4）帧与（18．8±3．6）帧]内血流帧数均大于正常组差异均有统计学意义（P值分别为0．003,0．019,0．014）。静息时,慢血流组ET-1和NO浓度与正常组比较差异均有统计学意义（P值分别为0．031,0．010）。运动后,慢血流组ET-1和NO浓度与正常组比较差异均有统计学意义（P值分别为0．026,0．017）。校正帧数与NO呈负相关（r=-0．850,P=0．009）,而与ET-1浓度呈正相关（r=0．381,P=0．008）。结论冠状动脉造影正常的女性患者,冠状动脉血流和血管舒张功能具有相关性,血管舒张功能下降可能是导致女性冠状动脉硬化形成的主要机制。

Arm and ankle blood pressure response to treadmill exercise in normal people

Summary. Ninteen healthy volunteers, 10 men and nine women (mean age 38 and 30 years), exercised on a treadmill. The systolic blood pressure (BP) was measured at the ankle and in the arm after submaximal (8 min with a final load of 2 W kg^-1 body weight) and maximal exercise. The BP was measured for 10 min after exercise, or until the elimination of a negative pressure difference between ankle and arm. The pre-study resting systolic arm and ankle pressures were 122 ± 11 and 144 ± 13 mmHg. One minute after submaximal exercise, arm and ankle BP were 147 ± 18 and 159 ± 19 mmHg (ankle-arm pressure difference 12 ± 13 mmHg); 1 min after maximal exercise the corresponding figures were 182 ± 26 and 153 ± 35 mmHg (ankle-arm pressure difference -29 ± 33 mmHg). We conclude that maximal exercise, but not an appropriately chosen submaximal exercise level, causes a negative BP difference between ankle and arm in normal people.

The incremental value of brachial flow-mediated dilation measurements in risk stratification for incident cardiovascular events: A systematic review

Abstract

Adequate risk assessment for cardiovascular disease (CVD) is essential as a guide to initiate drug treatment. Current methods based on traditional risk factors could be improved considerably. Although brachial flow-mediated dilation (FMD) predicts subsequent cardiovascular events, its predictive value on top of traditional risk factors is unknown. We performed a systematic review to evaluate the incremental predictive value of FMD on top of traditional risk factors in asymptomatic individuals.

Using PubMed and reference tracking, three studies were identified that reported on the incremental value of FMD using change in the area under the curve (AUC). Two large cohort studies found no improvement in AUC when FMD was added to traditional risk prediction models, whereas one small case-control study found an improvement. One study used the net reclassification improvement (NRI) to assess whether FMD measurement leads to correct risk stratification in risk categories. Although this study did not find an improvement in AUC, the NRI was statistically significant. Based on the reclassification results of this study, FMD measurement might be helpful in risk prediction.

Evidence supporting the use of FMD measurement in clinical practice for risk stratification for CVD on top of traditional risk factors is limited, and future studies are needed.     

Physiological characteristics and hormonal profile of young normotensive men with exaggerated blood pressure response to exercise

Exaggerated blood pressure (BP) response to exercise in normotensive subjects is considered as a predictor of future hypertension. The aim of the study was to find out whether elevated BP response to exercise is associated with any other haemody-namic, metabolic or hormonal abnormalities. Abnormal BP response to exercise, i.e. systolic BP (SBP)>200 mmHg at 150 W or lower workload, was found in 37 out of 180 normotensive, male students, aged 20–24 years. Fifteen students with elevated exercise BP (group E) volunteered for further examinations. Their resting and ambulatory BP showed high normal values. Eight of them had a family history of hypertension. Four subjects met the criteria of cardiac hypertrophy. Significant correlations were found between exercise SBP and left ventricular mass index, average 24 h and daytime SBP recordings. In comparison with normal subjects of the same age (group N, n=13), those from group E did not differ in body mass index, plasma lipid profile, fasting glucose, insulin and catecholamine (CA) concentrations, but had increased erythrocyte sodium content, slightly elevated plasma renin activity and cortisol level. During exercise, E subjects showed greater cardiac output (CO) increases with normal heart rate, total peripheral resistance (TPR) and plasma CA. There were no significant differences between groups in haemodynamic and plasma CA responses to posture change from supine to standing. Glucose ingestion (75 g) caused smaller increases in CO and smaller decreases in TPR in E than in N subjects without differences in BP, blood glucose, plasma insulin and CA. It is concluded that young normotensive men with exaggerated BP response to exercise show some other characteristics that may be considered as markers of predisposition to hypertension or factors promoting the development of hypertension.     

Increased dilator response to nitrate and decreased flow-mediated dilatation in migraineurs

Background.—It has been known that in a migraine attack intracranial and extracranial arteries on the headache side dilate and when the migraine attack has subsided, the intracranial arteries show segmental narrowing. We hypothesized that patients with migraine had an underlying systemic vasomotion abnormality and there might be an increased nitrate-mediated vasodilatory response in the brachial artery of migraineurs. Accordingly we aimed to measure endothelium dependent and independent functions of brachial artery in migraineurs and healthy subjects.
Materials and Methods.—Twenty-four patients who fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of migraine were enrolled in the study. Twenty-six age- and sex-matched healthy control subjects comprised the control group. Flow-mediated dilatation and nitrate-mediated dilatation were measured in all patients and control subjects by means of brachial artery ultrasonography.
Results.—Flow-mediated dilatation of patients with migraine was significantly lower than that of control subjects (7.6 ± 3.7% vs 10.4 ± 3.5%, respectively, P = .008). However, nitrate-mediated dilatation in migraineurs was significantly higher than that of nonmigraineurs (25% vs 14%, respectively, P < .001).
Conclusion.—We have shown that migraineurs have decreased endothelium dependent function whereas increased nitrate-mediated response in their brachial artery. It can be suggested that the mechanism underlying migraine may be a diffuse vascular vasomotion abnormalities and migraine may be a local manifestation of systemic vascular abnormality rather than a primary cerebral phenomenon.

Abnormal vascular reactivity at rest and exercise in obese boys

Background Obese children exhibit vascular disorders at rest depending on their pubertal status, degree of obesity, and level of insulin resistance. However, data regarding their vascular function during exercise remain scarce. The aims of the present study were to evaluate vascular morphology and function at rest, and lower limb blood flow during exercise, in prepubertal boys with mild‐to‐moderate obesity and in lean controls. Materials and methods Twelve moderately obese prepubertal boys [Body Mass Index (BMI: 23·9 ± 2·6 kg m^?2)] and thirteen controls (BMI:17·4 ± 1·8 kg m^?2), matched for age (mean age: 11·6 ± 0·6 years) were recruited. We measured carotid intima‐media thickness (IMT) and wall compliance and incremental elastic modulus, resting brachial flow‐mediated dilation (FMD) and nitrate‐dependent dilation (NDD), lower limb blood flow during local knee‐extensor incremental and maximal exercise, body fat content (DEXA), blood pressure, blood lipids, insulin and glucose. Results Compared to lean controls, obese boys had greater IMT (0·47 ± 0·06 vs. 0·42 ± 0·03 mm, P < 0·05) but lower FMD (4·6 ± 2·8 vs. 8·8 ± 3·2%, P < 0·01) in spite of similar maximal shear rate, without NDD differences. Lower limb blood flow (mL min^?1·100 g^?1) increased significantly from rest to maximal exercise in both groups, although obese children reached lower values than lean counterparts whatever the exercise intensity. Conclusions Mild‐to‐moderate obesity in prepubertal boys without insulin resistance is associated with impaired endothelial function and blunted muscle perfusion response to local dynamic exercise without alteration of vascular smooth muscle reactivity.     

活动平板运动试验中血压异常增高的意义

目的探讨活动平板运动试验所激发的血压异常增高的现象及临床意义。方法从561例受检者中选择运动中SBP≥200mmHg45例作为血压异常增高组,高血压血压反应正常组40例,对照组54例,比较3组间运动与血压反应关系。结果血压异常增高组:运动前静息时的血压(SBP/DBP)均高于其他两组(P<0.001);运动中SBP、血压上升幅度(ΔSBP)显著增高,有统计学意义(P<0.001);而运动时间(time)、代谢当量(Mets)均小于其他两组(P<0.05),说明该组病人运动耐量有不同程度的减退。结论运动所激发的血压异常增高可预示发生高血压的可能性,而对高血压患者应注意运动时血压高峰的控制及运动处方的制定。     

A Tai Chi exercise programme improved exercise behaviour and reduced blood pressure in outpatients with hypertension

This two‐group pretest and posttest quasi‐experimental study aimed to evaluate the effects of a Tai Chi exercise programme on exercise behaviour and blood pressure (BP) in outpatients with hypertension. The experimental group (n = 27) received the Yang‐style Tai Chi exercise programme three times a week for 8 weeks. The control group (n = 31) received routine care with no Tai Chi exercise. Exercise behaviour and exercise time using Routine Health Care Behaviour scale and BP were assessed at baseline and 8 weeks. The experimental group had a significant improvement on exercise behaviour (t = 2.11, P < 0.001) and exercise time (t = 1.44, P = 0.003), and a significant reduction in systolic BP (t = 2.57, P < 0.001) and diastolic BPs (t = 2.86, P < 0.001) compared with those of the control group. Tai Chi is an inexpensive and viable exercise and can improve exercise behaviour and BP control in outpatients with hypertension. Tai Chi exercise might offer outpatients with hypertension additional options, such as an adjunct to formal cardiac rehabilitation or as an exercise alternative in their management of hypertension. Nursing staff can easily learn and incorporate this exercise in patient education or care planning in the care of patients with hypertension in outpatient settings.
