Objective To investigate the antihypertensive effects of continuous airway positive pressure( CPAP) plus antihypertensive drugs on patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome ( OSAHS) and hypertension.Methods 82 OSAHS patients with hypertension were enrolled in this study. They were randomly divided into a CPAP treatment group( 44 patients, treated with antihypertensive drugs and CPAP) , and a control group( 38 patients, treated with antihypertensive drugs only) . All the patients were performed polysomnography and 24-hour blood pressure monitoring before and 12 weeks after the treatment. Results After 12 weeks treatment, except the systolic pressure in night time( nSBP) , all the parameters of 24-hour blood monitoring improved better in the CPAP group than in the control group( all P lt; 0. 05) . The blood pressure dropped to normal in 75. 0% ( 33/44) CPAP patients and in 52. 6% ( 20 /38) control patients. In the CPAP group, 8( 18. 2% ) cases were withdrawn from antihypertensive drugs, 13( 29. 5% )cases required single agents, and 9( 20. 5% ) cases required three agents to achieve blood pressure control.But in the control group, all the patients needed two or more antihypertensive agents, in which 23( 60. 6% )patients needed three agents to achieve blood pressure control. After the treatment, the patients with dipping pattern blood pressure increased from10 to 29( 22. 7% -65. 9% , P lt;0. 05) in the CPAP group, and from10to 14( 26. 3% -36. 8%, P gt;0. 05) in the control group. Conclusions Combination therapy with CPAP and antihypertensive drugs controls blood pressure better than antihypertensive medication only for OSAHS patients with hypertension with fewer types of antihypertensive agents or even withdrawal from antihypertensive medication in some patients.
【Abstract】 Objective To study the effects of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome ( OSAHS) on blood pressure variations, and explore the possible mechanism. Methods 84 adult patients ( mean age 50. 1 ±14. 8 years, male /female 67 /17) were recruited for polysomnography ( PSG) and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Four groups were identified based on apnea hyponea index ( AHI) ,ie. non-OSAHS group ( n=9) ,mild group ( n=19) , moderate group ( n=23) , and severe group ( n =33) .The blood pressure levels were compared among the four groups. Correlations between PSG indexes,variations of systolic blood pressure ( SBP) and diastolic blood pressure ( DBP) were analyzed. Results Inter-group blood pressure comparison showed significant differences in SBP and DBP( P lt;0. 05) , except forthe mild and the moderate OSAHS patients. As compared with the non-OSAHS patients, SBP for those with severe OSAHS was about 15 mm Hg higher, and DBP 10 mm Hg higher. Observation on SBP non-dipping rate indicated that, except for the mild and the moderate OSAHS patients where no significant differences were found, SBP non-dipping rate increased with the severity of OSAHS( the rates were 78. 3%, 57. 1% ,54. 5%, and 32. 6% , respectively for the four groups) , whereas DBP non-dipping rate significantly increased in the severe OSAHS patients( 54. 3% ) ( P lt;0. 05) . For the mild OSAHS patients, blood pressure was found to be correlated positively with the body mass index ( correlation coefficient for day time SBP was 0. 26, and for DBP was 0. 22) , the arousal index ( correlation coefficient for day time SBP was 0. 25, and for DBP was 0. 17) , and heart rate variation ( correlation coefficient for night time SBP was 0. 18, and for DBP was 0. 17) . For the moderate OSAHS patients, a positive correlation was also found between blood pressure and AHI ( correlation coefficient for day time SBP was 0. 31, and for DBP was 0. 22, correlation coefficient fornight time SBP was 0. 26) , and between blood pressure and the longest hypopnea time during sleep ( LH) ( correlation coefficient for night time DBP was 0. 2) . For the severe OSAHS patients, blood pressure was correlated positively with apnea index ( AI) ( correlation coefficient for day time SBP was 0. 61, and for DBP was 0. 5, correlation coefficient for night time SBP was 0. 57 and for night time DBP was 0. 48) . Conclusions OSAHS has ber impact on SBP than on DBP. DBP hypertension and SBP non-dipping are usually found in early OSAHS-affected patients. Factors affecting blood pressure differ with the severity of the OSAHS.
Objective To investigate the characteristics of blood pressure and coronary artery impairment in patients with essential hypertension (EH) combining coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods A total of 358 patients with EH combining CHD and other 144 patients with CHD were measured with ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), and the parameters of ambulatory blood pressure were analyzed. All the patients underwent coronary angiography. The severity of coronary artery stenosis was evaluated in accordance with the number of impaired arteries. Results Compared to the patients with simplex CHD, those with EH combining CHD had much heavier artery stenosis and more diffuse lesions, with significant differences (χ2=6.03, P=0.019). The 24h systolic blood pressure (SBP), day SBP, night SBP, 24h pulse pressure (PP), day PP and night PP were higher in the patients with EH combining CHD compared to those of the patients with simplex CHD (The t values were 2.580, 2.045, 2.675, 2.037, 2.601, and 1.995, respectively, while the P values were 0.015, 0.037, 0.009, 0.041, 0.017, and 0.047, respectively). Conclusion Compared to the patients with simplex CHD, the patients with EH combining CHD suffer from much severe coronary artery impairment, so a good controlling of blood pressure is advisable to improve the coronary artery impairment for the patients with EH combining CHD.

ObjectiveTo investigate the significance of using the term "high-normal blood pressure" and its intervention in the early stage. MethodsIn 1992 and 2007, we performed two similar investigations focusing on cardiovascular risk factors in 711 people in Chengdu city. Since 114 individuals were diagnosed with hypertension, 597 people without hypertension were eligible and divided into two groups:the normal-pressure[<120/80 mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa)] group and the high-normal blood pressure (systolic blood pressure 120-139 mm Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure 80-89 mm Hg) group. Data in the two investigations were compared to explore the relationship among high-normal blood pressure, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and hypertension. ResultsThe high-normal blood pressure group had a higher level of CVD risk factors both in 1992 and 2007, and the 15-year cumulative incidence of hypertension in the high-normal blood pressure group was higher than that of normal-pressure group (91.2% vs. 22.2%, P<0.001). After adjusting for serum lipid, body weight and other CVD risk factors, high-normal blood pressure could predict the progression into hypertension[HR=5.354, 95% CI (4.094, 7.002), P=0.001]. There was no statistics difference in CVD prevalence in the two groups in 1992, but in 2007 the prevalence of CVD tended to be higher in the high-normal blood pressure group (6.6% vs. 3.1%, P=0.052). ConclusionHigh-normal blood pressure is a special stage of blood pressure with high level of CVD risk factors and high potential to progress into hypertension. The term should be emphasized and intervention should be done in the early stage for high-normal blood pressure people to prevent from hypertension and CVD.
ObjectiveTo investigate the value of morning blood pressure surge in the evaluation of atherosclerosis by the observation of the relationship between morning blood pressure surge and ambulatory arterial stiffness index. MethodsFrom May 2011 to March 2013, we followed up 300 hypertensive patients who received ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, and they were divide into elevated morning blood pressure surge group and non-elevated morning blood pressure surge group. The AASI value was recorded and compared between the two groups according to the grade of hypertension. ResultsMorning blood pressure surge was more common in patients with hypertension. Compared with patients in the non-elevated morning blood pressure surge group, ambulatory arterial stiffness index was significantly higher in patients in the elevated morning blood pressure surge group. ConclusionThere is a certain correlation between morning blood pressure surge and arterial stiffness, which is an important factor leading to a variety of target organ damage.
To investigate the effect of stepwise paced breathing (PB) on pulse transit time (PTT), we collected physiological signals of electrocardiogram (ECG), respiration and arterial pulse wave during a procedure of stepwise PB, which consists of 6 different breathing rates changing in a protocol of 14.0-12.5-11.0-9.5-8.0-7.0 breath per minute (BPM), with each breathing rate lasting 3 minutes. Twenty two healthy adults involved in this experiment and the change of PTT was analyzed during the stepwise PB procedure. In our study, the PTT was measured by calculating the time interval from the R-spike of the ECG to the peaks of the second derivative of the arterial pulse wave. Ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) was applied to PTT to decompose the signal into different intrinsic mode function, and respiratory oscillation and trend component (baseline) in PTT were further extracted. It was found that the respiratory oscillations in the PTT increased with decreasing of the PB rate, and many of the subjects (14 out of 22) showed the phenomena of PTT baseline increasing during the stepwise PB procedure. The results indicated that the stepwise PB procedure induced a high level of cardiovascular oscillation and produced an accumulative effect of PTT baseline increase. As PTT is capable of predicting changes in BP over a short period of time, increase of PTT baseline indicates the decrease of blood pressure. The experiments showed that the stepwise PB procedure could reduce blood pressure for most subjects. For future work, it is necessary to develop certain indices differentiating the effectiveness of the stepwise PB procedure on the PTT baseline change, and to test the effectiveness of this stepwise PB procedure on blood pressure reduction for patients with essential hypertension.
