Background In most patients having noncardiac surgery, blood pressure is measured with the oscillometric upper arm cuff method. Although the method is noninvasive and practical, it is known to overestimate intraarterial pressure in hypotension and to underestimate it in hypertension. A high-fidelity upper arm cuff incorporating a hydraulic sensor pad was recently developed. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether noninvasive blood pressure measurements with the new high-fidelity cuff correspond to invasive measurements with a femoral artery catheter, especially at low blood pressure. Methods Simultaneous measurements of blood pressure recorded from a femoral arterial catheter and from the high-fidelity upper arm cuff were compared in 110 patients having major abdominal surgery or neurosurgery. Results 550 pairs of blood pressure measurements (5 pairs per patient) were considered for analysis. For mean arterial pressure measurements, the average bias was 0 mmHg, and the precision was 3 mmHg. The Pearson correlation coefficient was 0.96 (P < 0.0001; 95% CI, 0.96 to 0.97), and the percentage error was 9%. Error grid analysis showed that the proportions of mean arterial pressure measurements done with the high-fidelity cuff method were 98.4% in zone A (no risk), 1.6% in zone B (low risk) and 0% in zones C, D, and E (moderate, significant, and dangerous risk, respectively). The high-fidelity cuff method detected mean arterial pressure values less than 65 mmHg with a sensitivity of 84% (95% CI, 74 to 92%) and a specificity of 97% (95% CI, 95% to 98%). To detect changes in mean arterial pressure of more than 5 mmHg, the concordance rate between the two methods was 99.7%. Comparable accuracy and precision were observed for systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurements. Conclusions The new high-fidelity upper arm cuff method met the current international standards in terms of accuracy and precision. It was also very accurate to track changes in blood pressure and reliably detect severe hypotension during noncardiac surgery.

Patients with hypertension (HT) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have a high risk of cardiovascular complications. Up to now, there is no optimal strategy for combined antihypertensive therapy. Still, the data of 24-hour blood pressure monitoring (BPM) are important while choosing treatment tactics. The aim of the paper is to study the features of indicators in patients with arterial hypertension (AH) and COPD. Materials and methods. 130 patients with HT were included in the study. The main group (n=90) included comorbid patients with HT and COPD, their average age was 61.30±1.01; the comparison group (n=40) consisted of patients with HT, their average age was 59.10±1.53. All patients underwent 24-hour BPM. Results. Comorbid patients revealed an increase in the mean 24-hour and night systolic and mean arterial pressure values as well as a significant increase in the load index of systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressure. Also, comorbid patients demonstrated higher blood pressure in contrast to the patients of the comparison group. They had increased systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure variability and a quicker rate of morning blood pressure rise. According to 24-hour blood pressure dynamics, pathological types of the 24-hour blood pressure curve, a higher frequency of the night-peaker profile dominated in patients with COPD if compared to patients with HT. Conclusion. The obtained data indicated a high risk of cardiovascular complications in comorbid patients, early target organ damage and an unfavorable disease prognosis. It means that both further study of hypertension clinical course in such patients and personalization of antihypertensive therapy are relevant.

Пациенты с артериальной гипертензией (АГ) и хронической обструктивной болезнью легких (ХОБЛ) имеют высокий риск возникновения кардиоваскулярных осложнений. В настоящее время в лечении не определена наиболее оптимальная стратегия комбинированной антигипертензивной терапии. Для выбора тактики терапии важную роль играют показатели суточного мониторирования артериального давления (СМАД). Цель. Изучить особенности показателей СМАД у пациентов с АГ на фоне ХОБЛ. Материалы и методы. В исследование включено 130 пациентов с АГ. В основную группу (n=90) вошли пациенты с АГ и ХОБЛ (средний возраст – 61,30±1,01 года), в группу сравнения (n=40) – больные только АГ (средний возраст – 59,10±1,53 года). Всем пациентам проведено СМАД. Результаты. У пациентов с коморбидностью выявлены следующие особенности суточных показателей артериального давления: увеличение значений среднесуточных и средненочных показателей систолического и среднего артериального давления; существенное повышение индекса нагрузки систолическим, диастолическим и средним артериальным давлением. Также эти больные отличались от пациентов группы сравнения более высокими значениями пульсового давления, имели повышенную вариабельность систолического, диастолического и среднего артериального давления, у них наблюдалось увеличение скорости утреннего подъема артериального давления. Суточная динамика артериального давления у пациентов с ХОБЛ характеризовалась преобладанием патологических типов суточной кривой АД, более высокой частотой профиля night-peaker по сравнению с больными только АГ. Выводы. Выявленные особенности свидетельствуют о высоком риске сердечно-сосудистых осложнений у пациентов с коморбидностью, раннем поражении органов-мишеней и неблагоприятном прогнозе заболевания, что требует дальнейшего изучения особенностей клинического течения АГ у таких больных и индивидуализации антигипертензивной терапии. Ключевые слова: артериальная гипертензия, хроническая обструктивная болезнь легких, суточное мониторирование, артериальное давление.

The role of serotonin (5-HT) neurons in cardiovascular responses to acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) has not been studied in the neonatal period. We hypothesized that a partial loss of 5-HT neurons would reduce arterial blood pressure (BP) at rest, increase the fall in BP during hypoxia, and reduce the long-term facilitation of breathing (vLTF) and BP following AIH. We exposed 2-wk-old, 5,7-dihydroxytryptamine-treated and controls to AIH (10% O2; n = 13 control, 14 treated), acute intermittent hypercapnia (5% CO2; n = 12 and 11), or acute intermittent hypercapnic hypoxia (AIHH; 10% O2, 5% CO2; n = 15 and 17). We gave five 5-min challenges of AIH and acute intermittent hypercapnia, and twenty ∼20-s challenges of AIHH to mimic sleep apnea. Systolic BP (sBP), diastolic BP, mean arterial pressure, heart rate (HR), ventilation (V̇e), and metabolic rate (V̇o2) were continuously monitored. 5,7-Dihydroxytryptamine induced an ∼35% loss of 5-HT neurons from the medullary raphe. Compared with controls, pups deficient in 5-HT neurons had reduced resting sBP (∼6 mmHg), mean arterial pressure (∼5 mmHg), and HR (56 beats/min), and experienced a reduced drop in BP during hypoxia. AIHH induced vLTF in both groups, reflected in increased V̇e and V̇e/V̇o2, and decreased arterial Pco2. The sBP of pups deficient in 5-HT neurons, but not controls, was increased 1 h following AIHH. Our data suggest that a relatively small loss of 5-HT neurons compromises resting BP and HR, but has no influence on ventilatory plasticity induced by AIHH. AIHH may be useful for reversing cardiorespiratory defects related to partial 5-HT system dysfunction.

1. In human sympathetic denervation due to primary autonomic failure, food and exercise in combination may produce a cumulative blood pressure lowering effect due to simultaneous splanchnic and skeletal muscle dilatation unopposed by corrective cardiovascular reflexes. We studied 12 patients with autonomic failure during and after 9 min of supine exercise, when fasted and after a liquid meal. Standing blood pressure was also measured before and after exercise. 2. When fasted, blood pressure fell during exercise from 162 ± 7/92 ± 4 to 129 ± 9/70 ± 5 mmHg (mean arterial pressure by 22 ± 5%), P < 0.0005. After the meal, blood pressure fell from 159 ± 8/88 ± 6 to 129 ± 6/70 ± 4 mmHg (mean arterial pressure by 22 ± 3%), P < 0.0001, and further during exercise to 123 ± 6/61 ± 3 mmHg (mean arterial pressure by 9 ± 3%), P < 0.01. The stroke distance—heart rate product, an index of cardiac output, did not change after the meal. During exercise, changes in the stroke distance—heart rate product were greater when fasted. 3. Resting forearm and calf vascular resistance were higher when fasted. Calf vascular resistance fell further after exercise when fasted. Resting superior mesenteric artery vascular resistance was lower when fed; 0.19 ± 0.02 compared with 032 ± 0.06, P < 0.05. After exercise, superior mesenteric artery vascular resistance had risen by 82%, to 0.53 ± 0.12, P < 0.05 (fasted) and by 47%, to 0.29 ± 0.05, P < 0.05 (fed). 4. On standing, absolute levels of blood pressure were higher when fasted [83 ± 7/52 ± 7 compared with 71 ± 2/41 ± 3 (fed), each P < 0.05]. Subjects were more symptomatic on standing post-exercise when fed. 5. In human sympathetic denervation, exercise in the fed state lowered blood pressure further than when fasted and worsened symptoms of postural hypotension.

The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of a spinal cord injury (SCI) on resting vascular resistance in paralyzed legs in humans. To accomplish this goal, we measured blood pressure and resting flow above and below the lesion (by using venous occlusion plethysmography) in 11 patients with SCI and in 10 healthy controls (C). Relative vascular resistance was calculated as mean arterial pressure in millimeters of mercury divided by the arterial blood flow in milliliters per minute per 100 milliliters of tissue. Arterial blood flow in the sympathetically deprived and paralyzed legs of SCI was significantly lower than leg blood flow in C. Because mean arterial pressure showed no differences between both groups, leg vascular resistance in SCI was significantly higher than in C. Within the SCI group, arterial blood flow was significantly higher and vascular resistance significantly lower in the arms than in the legs. To distinguish between the effect of loss of central neural control vs. deconditioning, a group of nine SCI patients was trained for 6 wk and showed a 30% increase in leg blood flow with unchanged blood pressure levels, indicating a marked reduction in vascular resistance. In conclusion, vascular resistance is increased in the paralyzed legs of individuals with SCI and is reversible by training.
