Relationships between 24-h blood pressure variability and 24-h central arterial pressure, pulse wave velocity and augmentation index in hypertensive patients
Abstract
Twenty-four-h blood pressure variability (BPV) predicts cardiovascular complications in hypertension, but its association with pulse wave indices (central arterial pressure, pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (AIx)) is poorly understood. In the present study, we assessed the degree of the effect of 24-h BPV on 24-h pulse wave indices. Brachial blood pressure was measured non-invasively over the 24 h with an electronic, oscillometric, automated device (BPLab) in 661 uncomplicated treated or untreated hypertensive patients. Digitalized oscillometric waveforms were analyzed with a validated algorithm to obtain pulse wave indices. Twenty-four-h BPV was calculated as the unweighted (SDu) or weighted s.d. (SDw) of the mean blood pressure or as the average real variability (ARV). Twenty-four-h systolic BPV showed a direct and significant relationship with the central arterial systolic pressure (r=0.28 SDu, r=0.40 SDw, r=0.34 ARV), PWV (r=0.10 SDu, r=0.21 SDw, r=0.19 ARV) and AIx (r=0.17 SDu, r=0.27 SDw, r=0.23 ARV). After adjustment for age, sex, body mass index, antihypertensive treatment and 24-h systolic blood pressure, the relationship lost some power but was still significant for all measures, except for the AIx. Pulse wave indices were higher in patients with high BPV than in those with low BPV: after adjustment, these differences were abolished for the AIx. The diastolic BPV showed a weak association with the pulse wave indices. In conclusion, in hypertensive patients, 24-h systolic BPV is moderately and independently associated with 24-h central arterial pressure and stiffness.
