Abstract

Objective: Morning blood pressure (BP) surge is considered to be an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. On the other hand, there is increasing evidence that central systolic pressure (CSP) is stronger correlated with target organ damage and cardiovascular events than peripheral systolic pressure. Therefore, the aim of study was to evaluate the difference in morning central BP surge between men and women.

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 morning surge (MS) was the difference between the morning pressure and the lowest nighttime BP. The preawakening MS was the difference between the morning BP and the preawakening BP (the average BP during the 2 hours before awakening).

Results: The 24-hour CSP was 129.5±10.6 mmHg in hypertensives and 110.5±12.4 mmHg in normotensives (p<0.05). The average daytime and nighttime CSP was 133.8±11.1 mmHg and 123.1±11.1 mmHg (p<0.05) in hypertensives whereas 114.3±13.7 mmHg and 104.8±11.7 (p<0.05) in normotensives, respectively. The values of morning BP surge are presented in the table.

Conclusion: Central sleep-through MS and preawakening MS are similar in men and women.

Men (n=35)	Women (n=15)	p
HYPERTENSIVES
Central sleep-through MS (mmHg)	19.38±7.59	16.74±5.99	0.24
Peripheral sleep-through MS (mmHg)	13.21±7.76	10.02±4.58	0.15
NORMOTENSIVES
Central sleep-through MS (mmHg)	16.21±7.90	20.56±20.30	0.28
Peripheral sleep-through MS (mmHg)	9.76±7.0	17.37±21.4	0.07
