Post‐resistance exercise hemodynamic and autonomic responses: Comparison between normotensive and hypertensive men

To compare post‐resistance exercise hypotension (PREH) and its mechanisms in normotensive and hypertensive individuals, 14 normotensives and 12 hypertensives underwent two experimental sessions: control (rest) and exercise (seven exercises, three sets, 50% of one repetition maximum). Hemodynamic and autonomic clinic measurements were taken before (Pre) and at two moments post‐interventions (Post 1: between 30 and 60 min; Post 2: after 7 h). Ambulatory blood pressure (BP) was monitored for 24 h. At Post 1, exercise decreased systolic BP similarly in normotensives and hypertensives (?8 ± 2 vs ?13 ± 2 mmHg, P > 0.05), whereas diastolic BP decreased more in hypertensives (?4 ± 1 vs ?9 ± 1 mmHg, P < 0.05). Cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance did not change in normotensives and hypertensives (0.0 ± 0.3 vs 0.0 ± 0.3 L/min; ?1 ± 1 vs ?2 ± 2 U, P > 0.05). After exercise, heart rate (+13 ± 3 vs +13 ± 2 bpm) and its variability (low‐ to high‐frequency components ratio, 1.9 ± 0.4 vs +1.4 ± 0.3) increased whereas stroke volume (?14 ± 5 vs ?11 ± 5 mL) decreased similarly in normotensives and hypertensives (all, P > 0.05). At Post 2, all variables returned to pre‐intervention, and ambulatory data were similar between sessions. Thus, a session of resistance exercise promoted PREH in normotensives and hypertensives. Although this PREH was greater in hypertensives, it did not last during the ambulatory period, which limits its clinical relevance. In addition, the mechanisms of PREH were similar in hypertensives and normotensives.

Isometric handgrip training lowers blood pressure and increases heart rate complexity in medicated hypertensive patients

Hypertension is characterized by elevated blood pressure (BP) and autonomic dysfunction, both thought to be improved with exercise training. Isometric handgrip (IHG) training may represent a beneficial, time‐effective exercise therapy. We investigated the effects of IHG training on BP and traditional and nonlinear measures of heart rate variability (HRV). Pre‐ and post‐measurements of BP and HRV were determined in 23 medicated hypertensive participants (mean ± SEM, 66 ± 2 years) following either 8 weeks of IHG training (n = 13) or control (n = 10). IHG exercise consisted of four unilateral 2‐min isometric contractions at 30% of maximal voluntary contraction, each separated by 4 min of rest. IHG training was performed 3 days/week for 8 weeks. IHG training decreased systolic BP (125 ± 3 mmHg to 120 ± 2 mmHg, P < 0.05) and mean BP (90 ± 2 mmHg to 87 ± 2 mmHg, P < 0.05), while sample entropy was increased (1.07 ± 0.1 to 1.35 ± 0.1, P < 0.05) and the fractal scaling distance score was decreased (0.34 ± 0.1 to 0.19 ± 0.1, P < 0.05). No significant changes were observed in traditional spectral or time‐domain measures of HRV or control participants. IHG training improves nonlinear HRV, but not traditional HRV, while reducing systolic and mean BP. These results may highlight the benefits of IHG training for patients with primary hypertension.

Static magnetic field reduces blood pressure short-term variability and enhances baro-receptor reflex sensitivity in spontaneously hypertensive rats

Purpose: It has been shown that chronic exposure of young spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) to static magnetic field (SMF) delays the development of overt hypertension. Therefore the aim of the present work was to investigate the effects of SMF on autonomic cardiovascular control in adult spontaneously hypertensive rats.

Materials and methods: Experiments were performed in freely moving spontaneously hypertensive rats equipped with femoral arterial catheter for blood pressure recording. Spontaneously hypertensive rats were exposed for 30 days to upward-oriented SMF (n?=?17) or downward-oriented SMF (n?=?17) of 16?mT intensity. A control group of spontaneously hypertensive rats (n?=?17) was not exposed to SMF. Neurogenic cardiovascular control was evaluated by spectral analysis of arterial blood pressure and heart rate short-term variability and baro-receptor reflex sensitivity using the sequence method.

Results: Exposure of spontaneously hypertensive rats to both upward- and downward-oriented SMF significantly reduced arterial blood pressure and enhanced baro-receptor reflex sensitivity. Downward-oriented SMF reduced heart rate, too. SMF of either orientation reduced systolic blood pressure variability in very low frequency domain while downward-oriented SMF also reduced low-frequency and increased high frequency domains.

Conclusion: It follows that prolonged exposure to SMF is beneficial for neurogenic cardiovascular control in hypertension.

SPECT evaluation of cerebral blood flow during arm exercise in patients with subclavian steal

Objectives To explore the cerebral hemodynamics in subclavian steal syndrome, we examined the cerebral perfusion of seven patients with subclavian steal (one symptomatic and six asymptomatic) using single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) during resting, arm exercise, and acetazolamide-activated conditions. Methods The regional CBF (rCBF) was measured with SPECT under all conditions, and region of interest (ROI) analysis was performed using a three-dimensional stereotaxic ROI template (3DSRT). We evaluated the relationship between arm exercise-induced rCBF change and (1) presence of subclavian artery stenosis, (2) vertebral reverse flow severity, (3) presence of vertebro-basilar insufficiency (VBI) symptoms, and (4) cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) to acetazolamide. Results Overall, no arm exercise-induced rCBF reduction was observed on either the affected or the unaffected side, even in patients with severe vertebral reverse flow. One patient with VBI symptoms showed an arm exercise-induced global rCBF reduction in the cerebrum and cerebellum, whereas the other asymptomatic patients did not. The %rCBF changes in segments with severely impaired CVR (−8.6%± 10.7%, mean ± SD) were significantly lower than those in other segments with less impaired CVR (P < 0.01). Conclusions Our results suggest that subclavian steal is a benign condition in asymptomatic patients. On the other hand, arm exercise-induced rCBF reduction can occur in the cerebrum and cerebellum in patients with VBI symptoms possibly related to low CVR.

Yoga training modulates adipokines in adults with high‐normal blood pressure and metabolic syndrome

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases. Our previous study indicated that people with MetS showed a decrease in waist circumference and a decreasing trend in blood pressure after 1‐year yoga. This study investigated the effect of yoga on MetS people with high‐normal blood pressure by exploring modulations in proinflammatory adipokines (leptin, chemerin, visfatin, and plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 or PAI ‐1) and an anti‐inflammatory adipokine (adiponectin). A total of 97 Hong Kong Chinese individuals aged 57.6 ± 9.1 years with MetS and high‐normal blood pressure were randomly assigned to control (n = 45) and yoga groups (n = 52). Participants in the control group were not given any intervention but were contacted monthly to monitor their health status. Participants in the yoga group underwent a yoga training program with three 1‐hour yoga sessions weekly for 1 year. The participants’ sera were harvested and assessed for adipokines. Generalized estimating equation (GEE ) was used to examine the interaction effect between 1‐year time (pre vs post), and intervention (control vs yoga). GEE analyses revealed significant interaction effects between 1‐year time and yoga intervention for the decreases in leptin and chemerin and the increase in adiponectin concentration in the sera examined. These results demonstrated that 1‐year yoga training decreased proinflammatory adipokines and increased anti‐inflammatory adipokine in adults with MetS and high‐normal blood pressure. These findings support the beneficial role of yoga in managing MetS by favorably modulating adipokines.

准备运动与放松运动对剧烈运动中及运动后颈总动脉血流速度的影响

８名男性大学生参加了下列３组实验：（１）单纯５分钟的剧烈运动（大于９０％ｏｆＶＯ２ｍａｘ）;（２）５分钟的准备运动（５０％ｏｆＶＯ２ｍａｘ）后再进行上述剧烈运动;（３）上述剧烈运动后再进行５分钟的放松运动（５５％ｏｆＶＯ２ｍａｘ）。在上述实验的同时,检测了每位被试者的颈总动脉血流平均速度（平均ＶＣＣＡ）、心率（ｆｃ）、左肱动脉平均血压（Ｐｍ）,并根据血流速度参数计算出反映脑血流阻力的指标———阻抗指数（ＲＩ）。结果显示：在５分钟的剧烈运动中,不论有否准备运动,上述４种参数均明显增加。在准备运动中,平均ＶＣＣＡ和ｆｃ均有所增加,ＲＩ的增加几乎达到了剧烈运动时的水平。剧烈运动后,Ｐｍ和ｆｃ很快恢复,放松运动中这两个指标有所恢复。但是平均ＶＣＣＡ和ＲＩ在放松运动中保持着剧烈运动时的高水平。准备运动中阻抗指数明显增加提示脑血流阻力增加,这可防止由于颈总动脉平均血流速度和心率的增加而引起脑血流的过多增加（尤其是对那些有脑血管缺陷的人）,有利于机体接着进行剧烈的运动。本研究中的放松运动可减缓颈总动脉血流平均速度等几种生理指标在剧烈运动后的恢复速度,使剧烈运动后机体（尤其是心脑血管调节功能差的人）的生理功能逐渐得到恢复,?

Enhanced diastolic reflections on arterial pressure pulse during exercise recovery

During recovery from a maximal or submaximal aerobic exercise, augmentation of central (aortic) systolic pressure by reflected pressure waves is blunted in healthy humans. However, the extent to which reflected pressure waves modify the central pulse in diastole in these conditions remains unknown. We evaluated systolic and diastolic central reflected waves in 11 endurance-trained athletes on recovery from a maximal running test on a treadmill (treadmill-max) and a 4000 m run in field conditions. On both occasions in each subject, the radial pulse was recorded with applanation tonometry in the resting preexercise state and then 5, 15, 25, 35, and 45 min after exercise termination. From the central waveform, as reconstructed by application of a generalized transfer function, we computed a systolic (AIx) and a diastolic index (AId) of pressure augmentation by reflections. At 5 min, both indices were below preexercise. At further time-points, AIx remained low, while AId progressively increased, to overshoot above preexercise at 45 min. The same behavior was observed with both exercise types. Beyond the first few minutes of recovery following either maximal or submaximal aerobic exercise, reflected waves selectively augment the central pressure pulse in diastole, at least in endurance-trained athletes.
