Changes in blood pressure during the normal menstrual cycle.

1. Changes in blood pressure during the normal menstrual cycle are not well documented, and previous studies have given conflicting results. 2. Thirty normotensive women and ten mildly hypertensive women measured their blood pressure at home each morning for 6 weeks, under standardized conditions, using a UA-751 semi-automatic sphygmomanometer. All had normal menstrual cycles and subjects entered the study at different phases of the cycle. 3. Blood pressure was higher at the onset of menstruation than at most other phases of the cycle (systolic blood pressure, P less than 0.05; diastolic blood pressure, P less than 0.001). Adjusted diastolic blood pressure was higher in the follicular than in the luteal phase (mean difference 1.23 mmHg, P less than 0.001). Similarly, blood pressure was lower during days 17-26 than during the remainder of the cycle (adjusted mean difference in systolic blood pressure -0.65 mmHg, P = 0.07; adjusted mean difference in diastolic blood pressure -1.19 mmHg, P less than 0.001). 4. Similar patterns were seen in normotensive and hypertensive subjects, and changes in plasma 17 beta-oestradiol and progesterone concentrations were also similar in the two groups.     

Effects of age on body temperature and blood pressure in cold environments

Mean deep body temperature fell by 0.4 +/- 0.1 (SD) degrees C in five sedentary, clothed 63-70 year old men and by 0.1 +/- 0.1 degrees C in four young adults after 2 h exposure in still air at 6 degrees C (P less than 0.001). The mean increase in systolic and diastolic pressure was significantly greater (P less than 0.002) in the older subjects (24 +/- 4 mmHg systolic, 13 +/- 4 mmHg diastolic) than in the young (14 +/- 6 mmHg systolic, 7 +/- 3 mmHg diastolic) after 2 h at 6 degrees C. A small rise in blood pressure occurred in the older men at 12 degrees C, but there was no increase in either group at 15 degrees C. The association of variables is particularly marked between systolic blood pressure and core temperature changes at 6 degrees C. There were no appreciable cold-adaptive changes in blood pressure or thermoregulatory responses after 7-10 days repeated exposure to 6 degrees C for 4 h each day. Blood pressure elevation in the cold was slower but more marked in the older men. These changes in blood pressure may provide a possible basis for delineating low domestic limiting temperature conditions.     

Blood pressure behaviour in chronic daily headache

The objective was to examine the association between high blood pressure (BP) and chronic daily headache using 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitorization (24-h ABPM). This was a cross sectional study in an out-patient clinic. Women were selected among patients referred for first evaluation, 62 with chronic daily headache and 57 without chronic daily headache. The main outcome measures were mean office systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP), mean systolic and diastolic daytime and night-time BP and BP load, and mean systolic and diastolic nocturnal fall. Office systolic BP was 138.2 mmHg for women with chronic daily headache and 141.7 mmHg for women without headache (P = 0.36). Office diastolic BP was 88.9 mmHg for women with headache and 92.7 mmHg for women without headache (P = 0.17). Mean daytime and mean night-time systolic BP was, respectively, 122.2 mmHg and 108.8 mmHg for women with headache and 122.9 mmHg and 109.5 for women without headache (P = 0.82 and P = 0.80, respectively). Mean daytime and mean night-time diastolic BP was, respectively, 78.6 mmHg and 65.4 mmHg for women with headache and 79.9 mmHg and 67.1 mmHg for the women without headache (P = 0.80 and P = 0.45, respectively). There was no difference between the two groups regarding systolic and diastolic BP load and nocturnal systolic and diastolic fall. No significant difference in BP values was observed in women with chronic daily headache compared with women without headache using 24-h ABPM.     

Effects of enalapril on the cardiovascular response to treadmill exercise in patients with mild to moderate systemic hypertension

The effects of the angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor enalapril on exercise-induced changes in blood pressure and heart rate were evaluated in 15 patients in the early stages of systemic hypertension. Multistage treadmill exercise was performed before and after eight weeks of enalapril administration, and the results of the two trials were compared. In patients at rest, enalapril decreased systolic blood pressure from 172 +/- 18 to 147 +/- 14 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure from 99 +/- 9 to 88 +/- 8 mmHg (both P less than 0.001). In patients at peak exercise, enalapril decreased systolic blood pressure from 216 +/- 13 to 195 +/- 18 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure from 106 +/- 12 to 99 +/- 12 mmHg (both P less than 0.001). There was also a significant decrease in blood pressure during the recovery period after treadmill exercise. Enalapril reduced heart rate at peak exercise (P less than 0.05), but not at rest or during recovery. Thus enalapril alleviated the response of blood pressure to exercise in hypertensive patients and may help prevent hypertensive complications during daily activities.     

Effects of cigarette smoking on short-term variability of blood pressure in smoking and non smoking healthy volunteers

The present trial was planned to study the effects of smoking on short-term variability of blood pressure and on haemodynamic parameters after an overnight cessation and after one day of repeated smoking in healthy cigarette smoking volunteers, compared to a control group of non-smokers who were not asked to smoke. 40 healthy male volunteers, 20 smokers and 20 non-smokers, participated in an open study with two period of measurements over a single day (morning and afternoon). Blood pressure and heart rate were measured using standard and finger recordings over 6 min before and 10 min after smoking one cigarette (in smokers only). During the two periods, smokers were asked to smoke 4 cm of a cigarette containing 1 mg of nicotine in 2 min, and a blood sample was taken for a plasma nicotine assay. In the smoking group, smoking the first cigarette of the day caused a significant increase of systolic blood pressure (+7%), diastolic blood pressure (+10%) and heart rate (+25%). The blood pressure variability in the frequency range of the Mayer waves (66-129 mHz) was increased after an overnight cessation of smoking in the smoking group in comparison to the non-smokers, and decreased significantly after the first cigarette of the day (7.1 +/- 4.0 to 3.2 +/- 1.8 mmHg2; P < 0.01). The changes observed in the afternoon after continuous smoking were significantly less important (3.8 +/- 1.9 to 3.2 +/- 1.9 mmHg2; NS). In the non-smoking group, the different parameters remained stable between the different measurements. These results suggest that an overnight cessation of smoking in smoking subjects is associated with a increase in sympathetic activity to the vascular system in the morning, which is released by smoking the first cigarette. This effect of smoking is reduced in the afternoon after a continuous nicotinic impregnation.

Urinary albumin excretion and blood pressure in the general population

1. Twenty-four hour urinary albumin excretion rate was measured by a sensitive radioimmunoassay in 99 male and 100 female randomly selected factory workers, aged between 20 and 60 years. 2. The median (range) albumin excretion rates for men and women of 4.67 (1.0-25.8) and 5.25 (0.2-33.0) mg/24 h, respectively, were not significantly different. 3. No correlation was established between diastolic, systolic or mean arterial blood pressure and albumin excretion rate for the whole group. 4. Twenty-eight subjects with systolic and/or diastolic blood pressures greater than or equal to 140/90 mmHg (18.7/12.0 kPa) showed a positive correlation between mean arterial blood pressure and albumin excretion rate (r = 0.412, P less than 0.01). 5. There was no significant relationship between number of cigarettes smoked, age or alcohol intake and albumin excretion rate. 6. The data suggest that in the general population albumin excretion rate is variable and not dependent on blood pressure, but at blood pressures greater than 140/90 mmHg (18.7/12.0 kPa) albumin excretion rate may become pressure dependent, although high albumin excretion rates were sometimes found in subjects with blood pressures less than 140/90 mmHg (18.7/12.0 kPa).     

Headache in Patients with Hypertension

SYNOPSIS
The relationship between high blood pressure and headache (HA) was assessed retrospectively among 241 patients attending a hypertension clinic. HA was common (45.6%), particularly among women (68%). Patients with systolic blood pressure higher than 170 mmHg andor diastolic blood pressure higher than 110 mmHg had nocturnal andor early morning HA more often. Fifty-four subjects became HA free during antihypertensive therapy. Their blood pressure (BP) decrease was significantly greater than the BP fall of those whose HA did not disappear with treatment. Nocturnal and early morning HA may be a symptom of hypertension in subjects with markedly elevated BP, and control of BP may be beneficial in some hypertensive patients.     

Do elderly patients with an excessive fall in blood pressure on standing have evidence of autonomic failure?

1. Blood pressure, heart rate and plasma catecholamine responses were examined in two groups of elderly subjects distinguished by blood pressure responses to standing. Subjects in the control group showed a fall of less than 15 mmHg in systolic blood pressure on standing; subjects in the orthostatic hypotension group had falls of more than 20 mmHg systolic and 10 mmHg diastolic blood pressure on standing. 2. The heart pressure response on standing showed no significant difference between the two groups. 3. The orthostatic hypotension patients had lower plasma noradrenaline concentrations than the control patients (P less than 0.01) in the supine position, but during 10 min standing there was no significant difference in noradrenaline levels between the groups, and the percentage increase of noradrenaline levels in the orthostatic hypotension group was greater (P less than 0.05) than in the control group. 4. In the supine position, diastolic blood pressure was higher (P less than 0.05) in the orthostatic hypotension group than in the control group. 5. We conclude that impairment of baroreceptor function is not involved in most cases of orthostatic hypotension in the elderly, nor is there reduction of sympathetic nervous activity. We suggest that mechanical changes or adrenoreceptor dysfunction are more likely to be important factors in orthostatic hypotension in the elderly.     

Effect of insulin therapy on blood pressure in NIDDM patients with secondary failure.

OBJECTIVE--To assess the effect of insulin therapy on blood pressure in NIDDM patients with secondary failure. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS--The influence of insulin treatment on blood pressure was assessed retrospectively in a group of 80 NIDDM patients with secondary failure to diet and maximum doses of oral hypoglycemic agents. Weight, blood glucose, and blood pressure were recorded over a 3-mo period before and after the initiation of insulin therapy. RESULTS--There was a significant rise in systolic (131.8 +/- 1.7 to 148 +/- 1.9 mmHg, P less than 0.05) and diastolic (80.9 +/- 0.9 to 89.2 +/- 1.0 mmHg, P less than 0.02) blood pressures with insulin treatment. Insulin treatment was associated with a significant decrease in blood glucose (18.36 +/- 0.28 to 10.4 +/- 0.34 mM, P less than 0.01) and an increase in weight (72.1 +/- 1.6 to 78 +/- 1.7 kg, P = 0.01). A control group of 80 NIDDM patients matched for age, weight, BMI, and duration of diabetes demonstrated no significant change in blood pressure over a matched period of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS--This study has shown that insulin therapy is associated with significant elevation of both systolic and diastolic blood pressures.     

肝移植术后早期桡动脉与股动脉有创血压的差异研究

目的探讨肝移植术后早期患者桡动脉与股动脉有创血压监测的差异性。方法选择2015年1月至2015年12月间我院重症医学科收治的肝移植术后患者22例,对肝移植术后入ICU当时至术后1天内8个时间点,同步进行桡动脉和股动脉有创血压监测。根据股动脉收缩压水平分为3组:A组,收缩压(systolic blood pressure,SBP)90~140 mm Hg(1 mm Hg=0.133 k Pa);B组,SBP140 mm Hg;C组,SBP90 mm Hg,测量桡动脉与股动脉有创血压的差值。结果当股动脉收缩压在正常范围内,股动脉与桡动脉的收缩压、舒张压及平均动脉压无明显差异,差异无统计学意义(P0.05);当股动脉收缩压90 mm Hg时,股动脉的收缩压及平均动脉压明显高于桡动脉压,差异有统计学意义(P0.05);当股动脉收缩压140 mm Hg时,股动脉收缩压明显小于桡动脉,差异有统计学意义(P0.05)。结论肝移植术后患者早期低血压及高血压状态下,桡动脉与股动脉有创血压存在较大差异,低血压状态下桡动脉血压监测易低估患者实际血压水平,而高血压状态下表现为高估患者血压水平。     

Comparative evaluation of captopril and methyldopa monotherapy for hypertension: double-blind study in Indians

A double-blind, parallel-group study was conducted in 41 Indian men and women with hypertension to compare the antihypertensive effects of captopril and methyldopa. Twenty patients received 150 mg of captopril and 21 patients received 750 mg of methyldopa daily. The drugs were administered in three equally divided doses for four weeks. Blood pressure was measured after one, two, and four weeks of therapy. Relevant clinical and biochemical investigations were carried out before and after treatment. Sixteen patients given captopril and 11 given methyldopa responded to therapy. Among the captopril responders, initial mean systolic blood pressure (+/- SE) was 155 +/- 5.0 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure was 105 +/- 2.1 mmHg. These values were reduced to 119 +/- 9.8 and 80 +/- 6.1 mmHg, respectively, after four weeks of therapy. Similarly, among the methyldopa responders, initial mean systolic blood pressure was 180 +/- 7.4 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure was 112 +/- 3.8 mmHg. These values were reduced to 138 +/- 7.0 and 92 +/- 3.8 mmHg, respectively, after four weeks of therapy. The fall in the blood pressure in both groups was highly significant (P less than 0.001). None of the patients in either group had any clinically significant side effects. The results of this study suggest that monotherapy with captopril may be more effective than monotherapy with methyldopa in Indian hypertensives.     

Hypotensive effect of captopril and decreased rat uterine bradykinin receptors

To determine the role of local bradykinin at the level of the vascular smooth muscle receptors in the hypotensive effect of captopril, we assessed the effects of prolonged intravenous infusions for up to 7 days of bradykinin (0.1 microgram/min) and captopril (1.7 micrograms/min) on systolic blood pressure and uterine bradykinin receptors in normotensive rats. Bradykinin infusion was associated with a transient fall in systolic blood pressure at Day 1 (117.5 +/- 2.8 mmHg vs. 125.8 +/- 1.7, p less than 0.05) and returned to control levels by Day 3. Following captopril infusion there was a similar but more persistent fall in systolic blood pressure (115.3 +/- 2.4 mmHg vs. 125.8 +/- 1.7, p less than 0.01 at Day 1 and 111.0 +/- 2.4 mmHg vs. 125.0 +/- 1.9, p less than 0.001 at Day7). After 2 days of bradykinin infusion the number of bradykinin receptors was decreased (39.9 +/- 2.1 fmol/mg protein vs. 49. 9 +/- 2.4, p less than 0.01) and returned to controls at Day 7, while captopril infusion induced a prolonged decrease (42.3 +/- 1.8 fmol/mg protein vs. 49.9 +/- 2.4, p less than 0.05 at Day 2 and 38.8 +/- 2.4 fmol/mg protein vs. 44.5 +/- 1.3, p less than 0.05 at Day 7). Present results suggest that the increased vascular tissue level of bradykinin can contribute directly to the acute hypotensive effect of captopril. However, it may play only a minor role for the chronic hypotensive effect of captopril.     

Non-diabetic microalbuminuria in clinical practice and its relationship to posture, exercise and blood pressure.

1. The effects of posture and exercise on the relationship between low-level urinary albumin excretion (microalbuminuria) and blood pressure was investigated in two groups of non-diabetic patients at increased cardiovascular risk: 21 otherwise healthy patients with untreated essential hypertension (blood pressure greater than 160/90 mmHg), and 14 age-matched patients with blood pressure at presentation within the normotensive range (less than 160/90 mmHg) attending a cardiovascular clinic for assessment of chest pain. 2. A significant linear relationship between logarithmically transformed 'spot' urinary albumin/creatinine ratio and simultaneous clinic blood pressure existed when data from both groups of patients were analysed (r = 0.58, P less than 0.05). The relationship between the scatter plot of blood pressure and the albumin/creatinine ratio appeared most marked when the mean blood pressure exceeded 120 mmHg. 3. In patients with essential hypertension, clinic systolic blood pressure was related to the albumin/creatinine ratio in simultaneous 'spot' urine samples (r = 0.69, P less than 0.05) and also to the albumin/creatinine ratio in early-morning urine samples (r = 0.51, P less than 0.05). However, the relationship between clinic blood pressure and simultaneous 'spot' urinary albumin/creatinine ratio in the patients with chest pain did not achieve significance when analysed independently. 4. Hourly averaged ambulatory intra-arterial blood pressure was recorded in four of the patients with essential hypertension during normal daytime activity, and a significant correlation with the simultaneous hourly daytime urinary albumin/creatinine ratio was found (r = 0.65, P less than 0.01).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Endobronchial adrenaline: should it be reconsidered? Dose response and haemodynamic effect in dogs

BACKGROUND: Tracheal drug administration is a route for drug delivery during cardiopulmonary resuscitation when intravenous access is not immediately available. However, tracheal adrenaline (epinephrine) injection has been recently shown to be associated with detrimental decrease in blood pressure. This was attributed to exaggerated early beta2 mediated effects unopposed by alpha-adrenergic vasoconstriction. We hypothesized that endobronchial adrenaline administration is associated with better drug absorption, which may abolish the deleterious drop of blood pressure associated with tracheal drug administration. OBJECTIVE: To determine haemodynamic variables after endobronchial adrenaline administration in a non-arrest canine model. DESIGN: Prospective, randomized, laboratory study. METHODS: Adrenaline (0.02, 0.05, 0.1 mg/kg) diluted with normal saline was injected into the bronchial tree of five anaesthetized dogs. Injection of 10-ml saline served as control. Heart rate, blood pressure and arterial blood gases were monitored for 60 min after drug instillation. The protocol was repeated after 1 week. RESULTS: Adrenaline at a dose of 0.02 mg/kg produced only a minor initial decrease in diastolic (from 90 +/- 5 to 78 +/- 3 mmHg, P=0.05), and mean blood pressure (from 107 +/- 4 to 100 +/- 3 mmHg, P=0.05), in all dogs. This effect lasted less then 30 s following the drug administration. In contrast, higher adrenaline doses (0.05 and 0.1 mg/kg) produced an immediate increase in diastolic (from 90 +/- 5 to 120 +/- 7 mmHg; and from 90 +/- 5 to 170 +/- 6 mmHg, respectively), and mean blood pressure (from 107 +/- 4 to 155 +/- 10 mmHg; and from 107 +/- 4 to 219 +/- 6 mmHg, respectively). All adrenaline doses resulted in an immediate increase in systolic blood pressure and pulse. Endobronchial administration of saline (control) affected none of the haemodynamic variables. CONCLUSIONS: In a non-arrest model, endobronchial adrenaline administration, as opposed to the effect of tracheal adrenaline, produced only a minor decrease in diastolic and mean blood pressure. We suggest that endobronchial adrenaline administration should be investigated further in a CPR low-flow model when maintaining adequate diastolic pressure may be crucial for survival.     

Adrenergic supersensitivity in Parkinsonians with orthostatic hypotension

The adrenergic status was studied through evaluation of platelet alpha 2-adrenoceptor number [( 3H]yohimbine binding sites), plasma catecholamine levels and blood pressure response to noradrenaline infusion in three groups of subjects (1) Parkinsonians with orthostatic hypotension; (2) Parkinsonians without orthostatic hypotension; and (3) control subjects. In Parkinsonians with orthostatic hypotension, systolic and diastolic blood pressures significantly (P less than 0.05) decreased from 144 +/- 9 and 76 +/- 6 mmHg in the lying position to 95 +/- 12 and 60 +/- 7 mmHg after 5 min standing. In these patients, noradrenaline plasma levels were significantly low (62 +/- 11 pg ml-1, (P less than 0.05) when compared with controls (219 +/- 13 pg ml-1) whereas no difference was noticed in Parkinsonians without orthostatic hypotension (195 +/- 14 pg ml-1). The noradrenaline dose required for a 25 mmHg increase in systolic blood pressure was significantly (P less than 0.01) lower in Parkinsonians with orthostatic hypotension (0.19 +/- 0.03 microgram kg-1) when compared with Parkinsonians without orthostatic hypotension (0.86 +/- 0.11 microgram kg-1) or with controls (0.68 +/- 0.1 microgram kg-1). Platelet alpha 2-adrenoceptor number was higher in Parkinsonians with orthostatic hypotension (313 +/- 52 fmol mg-1 protein) than in Parkinsonians without orthostatic hypotension (168 +/- 9 fmol mg-1 protein) or in controls (175 +/- 4 fmol mg-1 protein) with no change in Kd. This study demonstrates that in patients with Parkinson's disease, orthostatic hypotension is associated with an increase in both vascular sensitivity to noradrenaline and platelet alpha 2-adrenoceptor number.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Haemodynamic responses to psychosocial stress during the menstrual cycle.

1. The haemodynamic effects of hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle were examined in 11 normotensive women (age 20-46 years). The subjects were studied on days 2-8 (follicular phase) and days 18-26 (luteal phase) in a randomized order. A standardized mental stress test and a 24 h recording of ambulatory blood pressure and heart rate were performed. 2. Pre-stress resting levels of heart rate and blood pressure were similar during the two phases of the menstrual cycle. 3. During mental stress, the heart rate response was significantly greater during the luteal phase than during the follicular phase (14.7 versus 9.7 beats/min; P less than 0.05). 4. Blood pressure, plasma catecholamine concentrations and subjective stress experience increased significantly in response to stress, without any significant differences between the two phases. 5. During 24 h ambulatory monitoring, higher levels of systolic blood pressure and heart rate were observed in the luteal phase than in the follicular phase (P less than 0.005 and P less than 0.0001, respectively). 6. These data indicate that cyclic variations in female sex hormones not only affect systolic blood pressure and heart rate, but also alter the haemodynamic responses to psychosocial stress.     

Effect of a high-carbohydrate versus a high--cis-monounsaturated fat diet on blood pressure in patients with type 2 diabetes

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether blood pressure is different in type 2 diabetic patients on a diet rich in carbohydrates versus a diet rich in cis-monounsaturated fatty acids. Data on the dietary effects on these diets' glucose and lipid metabolism have been previously published. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: The study compared the effect of feeding 42 type 2 diabetic patients a carefully controlled isoenergic high-carbohydrate (high-carb; 55% energy as carbohydrate, 30% as fat, and 10% as monounsaturated fat) and high-monounsaturated fat (high-mono; 45% energy as fat, 25% as monounsaturated fat, and 40% as carbohydrate) diet for 6 weeks each in a four-center, randomized, cross-over study on blood pressure. Twenty-one patients continued the diet they received during the second phase for an additional 8 weeks. RESULTS: According to repeated-measures ANOVA, blood pressure during the last 3 days of each phase was similar after 6 weeks of the high-carb and high-mono diets (systolic blood pressure: 128 +/- 16 vs. 127 +/- 15 mmHg, P = 0.9; diastolic blood pressure: 75 +/- 7 vs. 75 +/- 8 mmHg, P = 0.7). However, after 14 weeks of the high-carb diet (n = 13), there was a significant increase in blood pressure compared with 6 weeks of the high-mono diet (systolic blood pressure: 132 +/- 13 vs. 126 +/- 11 mmHg, P = 0.04; diastolic blood pressure: 83 +/- 6 vs. 76 +/- 7 mmHg, P = 0.002). After 14 weeks of the high-mono diet (n = 8), the reduction in blood pressure was not significant compared with 6 weeks of the high-carb diet (systolic blood pressure: 118 +/- 14 vs. 121 +/- 16 mmHg, P = 0.4; diastolic blood pressure: 71 +/- 8 vs. 75 +/- 10 mmHg, P = 0.3). CONCLUSION: Although the exchange of carbohydrates with monounsaturated fats may not affect blood pressure in the short term, long-term consumption of a high-carbohydrate diet may modestly raise blood pressure in type 2 diabetic patients.     

102例危重病患者有创血压和无创血压的对比

目的比较102例危重病患者有创血压（IBP）和无创血压（NBP）测量结果的一致性。 方法收集2016年3~9月在西安交通大学第二附属医院重症医学科住院治疗的102例危重病患者的尺/桡动脉IBP和同侧上臂NBP数据1072对,先对所有数据分别按收缩压、舒张压、脉压（PP）和平均动脉压（MAP）进行配对t检验;再将数据分为高血压组（MAP≥107 mmHg）（1 mmHg=0.133 kPa）、正常血压组（70 mmHg≤MAP<107 mmHg）和低血压组（MAP<70 mmHg）三个亚组,分别进行IBP和NBP的收缩压、舒张压、PP以及MAP间的配对t检验。以P<0.05为差异具有统计学意义。 结果有创收缩压和无创收缩压之间比较,差异具有统计学意义［（128.08±35.48）mmHg vs（122.56±24.84）mmHg,t=7.896,P<0.001）］;有创舒张压和无创舒张压之间比较,差异具有统计学意义［（65.66±13.69）mmHg vs（67.98±13.31）mmHg,t=-8.294,P<0.001］;有创PP和无创PP之间比较,差异具有统计学意义［（62.42±28.93）mmHg vs（54.58±20.00）mmHg,t=11.697,P<0.001］;有创MAP和无创MAP之间比较,差异无统计学意义［（86.47±18.94）mmHg vs（86.17±15.33）mmHg,t=0.867,P=0.386］。亚组分析显示高血压组（n=254）：有创收缩压和无创收缩压之间比较,差异具有统计学意义［（163.75±33.93）mmHg vs（152.16±16.78）mmHg,t=6.52,P<0.001］,有创舒张压和无创舒张压之间比较,差异具有统计学意义［（79.17±11.03）mmHg vs（83.69±9.50）mmHg,t=-6.85,P<0.001）］,有创PP和无创PP之间比较,差异具有统计学意义［（84.57±31.50）mmHg vs （68.47±20.72）mmHg,t=9.76,P<0.001］;正常血压组（n=687）：有创收缩压和无创收缩压之间比较,差异具有统计学意义［（122.66±24.74）mmHg vs（118.70±15.14）mmHg,t=5.071,P<0.001）］,有创舒张压和无创舒张压之间比较,差异具有统计学意义［（63.97±10.34）mmHg vs（65.60±8.49）mmHg,t=-5.049,P<0.001）］,有创PP和无创PP之间比较,差异具有统计学意义［（58.69±23.05）mmHg vs （53.10±11.90）mmHg,t=7.682,P<0.001］;低血压组（n=131）：有创收缩压和无创收缩压之间比较,差异无统计学意义［（87.35±24.33）mmHg vs（85.41±11.99）mmHg,t=1.109,P=0.269］,有创舒张压和无创舒张压之间比较,差异具有统计学意义［（48.32±8.27）mmHg vs（49.98±8.06）mmHg,t=-2.073,P=0.040］,有创PP和无创PP之间比较,差异具有统计学意义［（39.03±24.00）mmHg vs（35.43±13.97）mmHg,t=1.806,P<0.001］。 结论有创收缩压大于无创收缩压、有创舒张压小于无创舒张压、有创PP大于无创PP,而有创MAP等于无创MAP。采用MAP数值较采用收缩压和（或）舒张压数值可以消除IBP和NBP测量之间的差异。
