背景:本研究旨在调查原发性高血压患者血压昼夜节律与减速能力(DC)/加速能力(AC)之间的潜在关联。
方法:本研究纳入318例原发性高血压患者,无论他们是否正在接受抗高血压药物治疗,进行24小时动态血压监测(ABPM)。根据夜间收缩压(SBP)浸入的百分比,将患者分为三组:dipper,非北斗星和反向北斗星组。基线人口统计特征,动态血压监测参数,Holter录音(包括直流和交流),并收集超声心动图参数。
结果:在这项研究中,在反向北斗组观察到最低的DC值,其次是非北斗星组和北斗星组(6.46±2.06vs.6.65±1.95vs.8.07±1.79ms,P<.001)。此外,AC逐渐降低(-6.32±2.02vs.-6.55±1.95vs.-7.80±1.73ms,P<.001)。DC之间存在显著关联(r=.307,P<.001),AC(r=-.303,P<.001)和夜间SBP下降。此外,DC(β=0.785,P=0.001)与夜间SBP下降呈正相关,而AC与夜间SBP呈负相关(β=-0.753,P=.002)。通过多变量逻辑回归分析,减速能力[OR(95%CI):0.705(0.594-0.836),p<.001],和加速能力[OR(95%CI):1.357(1.141-1.614),p=.001]被确定为血压非二极状态的独立危险因素。ROC曲线分析显示,DC/AC预测血压昼夜节律的曲线下面积为0.711/0.697,敏感性为73.4%/65.1%,特异性为66.7%/71.2%。
结论:异常的DC和AC密度与夜间SBP的迟钝下降有关,提示原发性高血压患者血压昼夜节律与自主神经功能障碍之间存在潜在关联。
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate the potential association between the circadian rhythm of blood pressure and deceleration capacity (DC)/acceleration capacity (AC) in patients with essential hypertension.
METHODS: This study included 318 patients with essential hypertension, whether or not they were being treated with anti-hypertensive drugs, who underwent 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). Patients were categorized into three groups based on the percentage of nocturnal systolic blood pressure (SBP) dipping: the dipper, non-dipper and reverse dipper groups. Baseline demographic characteristics, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring parameters, Holter recordings (including DC and AC), and echocardiographic parameters were collected.
RESULTS: In this study, the lowest DC values were observed in the reverse dipper group, followed by the non-dipper and dipper groups (6.46 ± 2.06 vs. 6.65 ± 1.95 vs. 8.07 ± 1.79 ms, P < .001). Additionally, the AC gradually decreased (-6.32 ± 2.02 vs. -6.55 ± 1.95 vs. -7.80 ± 1.73 ms, P < .001). There was a significant association between DC (r = .307, P < .001), AC (r=-.303, P < .001) and nocturnal SBP decline. Furthermore, DC (β = 0.785, P = .001) was positively associated with nocturnal SBP decline, whereas AC was negatively associated with nocturnal SBP (β = -0.753, P = .002). By multivariate logistic regression analysis, deceleration capacity [OR (95% CI): 0.705 (0.594-0.836), p < .001], and acceleration capacity [OR (95% CI): 1.357 (1.141-1.614), p = .001] were identified as independent risk factors for blood pressure nondipper status. The analysis of ROC curves revealed that the area under the curve for DC/AC in predicting the circadian rhythm of blood pressure was 0.711/0.697, with a sensitivity of 73.4%/65.1% and specificity of 66.7%/71.2%.
CONCLUSIONS: Abnormal DC and AC density were correlated with a blunted decline in nighttime SBP, suggesting a potential association between the circadian rhythm of blood pressure in essential hypertension patients and autonomic nervous dysfunction.
