Physical exercise and isoflavone supplementation are potential strategies to prevent and treat cardiovascular diseases in postmenopausal women. The aim of this study was to investigate whether there are additive effects of isoflavone supplementation when associated with combined aerobic and resistance exercise on resting and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and in blood pressure variability (BPV). Thirty-one non-obese postmenopausal women were randomly allocated into two groups: placebo and exercise (Placebo n = 19); and isoflavone supplementation (100 mg/day) and exercise (isoflavone n = 19). ABPM and BPV were evaluated before and after 10 weeks of moderate combined (aerobic and resistance) exercise training. Generalized Estimating Equation (GEE) with Bonferroni correction and intention-to-treat analysis was used to compare the effects of interventions on resting BP, ABPM and BPV. Combined exercise training decreased resting systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and reduced 24 h and awake ambulatory SBP, DBP and mean blood pressure over time, with no additional effects of isoflavone supplementation. No changes were observed in sleep period, or in BPV indexes (Standard Deviation of 24 h (SD), daytime and nighttime interval (SDdn) and average real variability (ARV) in both groups. We conclude that isoflavone supplementation does not potentiate the effects of combined training on resting and ambulatorial systolic and diastolic blood pressure in non-obese postmenopausal women.

Combined exercise training (CT) including aerobic plus resistance exercises could be more effective in comparison with aerobic exercise (AT) alone in reducing blood pressure variability (BPV) in hypertensive patients. We report that CT was indeed more effective than AT in reducing short-term BPV, and both exercise modalities reduced BP levels to the same extent. CT appears to be a more appropriate exercise modality if the objective is to reduce BPV in addition to BP levels.

The aim of the study was to determine the peculiarities of ABPM indices in middle-aged and elderly hypertensive patients depending on the daily BP profile. Material and methods. Indices of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring were identified in 57 middle-aged patients (45-59 years) (group I) and 43 elderly patients (60-74 years) (group II), who underwent two-week in-patient treatment. The control group consisted of 15 patients for every of the surveyed categories (group III - middle-aged and group IV – elderly respectively) matched with basic by age and gender. Results. We have shown that one of the factors that determines the change in hemodynamics in patients with essential hypertension is age, with the age patients experience the decrease in diastolic blood pressure with steadily increased systolic blood pressure, that should be considered in the prescription of antihypertensive treatment. With age, a gradual increase in systolic blood pressure is associated with the increased aortic stiffness, partially with the increase in collagen and the decrease in elastic fibrils and the formation of isolated systolic hypertension. Thus, it is proved that in the formation of isolated hypertension the growth of pulse blood pressure for more than 60 mm Hg is unfavorable in a development of cerebrovascular events. Pulse arterial blood pressure was stronger risk factor than systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure or average arterial pressure in the elderly. Recently, taking into account age characteristics, all three indices were recognized as comparable predictors at the age of 50-59 years as the transitional period, and at the age of 60-79 years diastolic blood pressure adversely affecting the cardiovascular risk, increased pulse blood pressure prognostically above the level of systolic arterial pressure.

Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus. Cardiovascular reflex tests (CARTs) are the gold standard in the diagnosis of CAN, but the handgrip test is no longer recommended to be performed. Previously, the inverse association between the presence of hypertension and handgrip test abnormality was demonstrated and hypertension as major cause for excessive diastolic blood pressure rise during handgrip testing in diabetic individuals proposed. The aim of the present study is to describe more precisely the association between handgrip test and hypertension by performing ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) among diabetic patients. A more comprehensive evaluation of the relationship between cardiovascular autonomic function, hypertension and the handgrip test was targeted using heart rate variability (HRV) analysis. Our study involved 163 patients with diabetes. Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy was assessed by the CARTs and sustained handgrip test was performed. All patients underwent ABPM and HRV analysis well. CAN was diagnosed in 69 patients. Significant associations were found between the diastolic blood pressure increase in response to handgrip exercise and the 24-h (rho = 0.245, p = 0.003), daytime (rho = 0.230, p = 0.005) and night-time (rho = 0.230, p = 0.006) mean systolic and 24-h diastolic (rho = 0.176, p = 0.034) blood pressure values, systolic blood pressure load (rho = 0.252, p = 0.003) and systolic (rho = 0.236, p = 0.005) and diastolic (rho = 0.165, p = 0.047) hyperbaric impacts. Higher values of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring parameters are associated with greater increases in diastolic blood pressure during isometric handgrip exercise. Diastolic blood pressure elevations during the handgrip test are also correlated, in order to diminished heart rate variability parameters attributable to parasympathetic dysfunction highlighting the pivotal role of sympathetic overactivity in evolving handgrip test results. Our study provides further evidence on the inverse association between handgrip test abnormality and hypertension in diabetic patients.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Corticosteroids are still a cornerstone in multiple myeloma (MM) therapy, both as a single agent and as a part of many protocols, including VAD regimen (vincristine, adriblastine, dexamethasone). Corticosteroids are known to be involved in blood pressure (BP) regulation and to affect this parameter. The impact of dexamethasone (Dex) administration on BP in MM patients during VAD protocol treatment is poorly documented. AIM: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the blood pressure changes during Dex administration in patients treated with VAD protocol due to MM. METHODS: Thirteen patients with MM (7 men and 6 women; mean age 62,45 ± 8,14) were assessed. Primary hypertensive patients (7 persons) were not excluded. They were administered Dex in standard dose of 40 mg (day 1–4, 9–12, 17–21) according to VAD protocol. Blood pressure was assessed by the use of commercially available instruments of Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM). The BP recordings lasted 48 hours, were started on the day before the first day of VAD and were obtained every 10 minutes during mornings, every 15 minutes during the rest of days and every 20 minutes during nights. Average of systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP/DBP) were estimated for the 2-hour time before Dex and for the 14-hour time in the 2-hour periods after Dex. Minimal and maximal range of SBP/DBP increase and the mean amount of SBP/DBP increase were also determined. RESULTS: 48-hour BP recordings revealed a significant increase in systolic and diastolic blood pressure after Dex administration in all patients. SBP and DBP began to increase after 3 hours after Dex, then rose continually and reached the peak in the period from 6 to 10 hour after Dex. In comparison to 2-hour period before Dex, in which SBP/DBP amounted 139,63/82,92 ± 23,47/9,38 mmHg, the mean SBP/DBP increase rate was: in the 2–4 hour period after Dex - 146,68/88,15 ± 24,38/10,51 mmHg (p<0,05), in the 6–8 – 148,07/92,66 ± 14,07/9,04 mmHg (ns), in the 8–10 – 147,8/87,99 ± 14,07/9,04 mmHg (p<0,01), in the 10–12 – 143,44/86,12 ± 17,22/9,77 mmHg (p<0,05) and in the 12–14 – 144,47/88,59 ± 17,04/12,54 mmHg (p<0,01). The minimal range of SBP/DBP increase was 10,50/−2,00 mmHg, maximal range of SBP/DBP increase was 35,43/40,00 mmHg and the mean amount of SBP/DBP increase was 20,06/11,6 ± 8,36/14,23 mmHg. CONCLUSION: Our preliminary study revealed that Dex administration causes an increase in BP in all patients. The mean increase in BP amounted 20,06/11,6 ± 8,36/14,23 mmHg and was similar in all patients, regardless their initial value of BP. So our study demonstrates the need of individualized hypertension treatment with strict control of BP in hypertensive patients when corticosteroid therapy is indicated.
