Abstract

Objective: Morning surge of peripheral blood pressure (BP) is considered to be an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. However, morning central blood pressure surge (MCBPS) has not been analyzed so far. Therefore, the aim of study was to evaluate the variables independently associated with MCBPS.

Methods: Fifty patients with never treated hypertension (age 40.4±11.5 years, 35 men) and 50 normotensive subjects (age 38.3±12.0 years, 35 men) were included into the study. Applanation tonometry of the radial artery and “n-point forward moving average” method have been used to derive 24-h CSP (BPro, HealtStats). The sleep-through MS was calculated as the difference between the morning pressure (the average BP during the 2 hours after awakening) and the lowest nighttime BP (the average of the lowest pressure and the 2 readings immediately preceding and after the lowest value). To assess the independent variables related to MCBPS multiple regression was used.

Results: Mean MCBPS was 17.3±7.8 mmHg in whole group, 18.6±7.3 mmHg in hypertensives, and 16.0±8.2 mmHg in normotensives (p=NS). Sex, smoking, BMI, 24-h heart rate, glucose level, and kidney function were not related to MCBPS. Independent variables correlated with MCBPS are presented in the table.

Conclusion: Morning central blood pressure surge may be related to age in normotensive, but not in hypertensive subjects.
