Elevated short-term (24 hour) blood pressure variability (BPV) is associated with subclinical target organ damage and cardiovascular disease (CVD) among middle-aged/older (MA/O) adults with hypertension and obesity. Circulating total cholesterol (TC), low-density cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglycerides (TGs) increase with human obesity and are independent risk factors for CVD. In addition, BPV is increased in mouse models of hyperlipidemia and is normalized with statins. However, whether higher circulating lipoproteins independently contribute to greater short-term BPV among adults with obesity remains unclear. We hypothesized that higher LDL-C, TGs and lower high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) would be associated with greater short-term BPV among individuals with obesity. Fasting plasma lipids and 24 hour ambulatory BP monitoring were assessed in fifty-six MA/O adults with obesity defined as body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m 2 (56% F; age 54±7 yrs; BMI, 38.2±5.6 kg/m 2 ) and at least one other CVD risk factor. There was a significant relation between 24 hour systolic BPV and TC (r=0.30, P=0.03), TGs (r=0.34, P=0.01) and LDL-C (r=0.25, P=0.059), but not HDL-C (r=-0.07, P=0.61). Interestingly, these findings remained significant after adjusting for age, sex, BMI and 24 hour systolic BP (TC: r=0.34, P=0.01; TGs: r=0.39, P<0.01; LDL-C: r=0.31, P=0.03) but HDL-C remained non-significant (r=-0.16, P=0.27). In contrast, other cardiometabolic risk factors such as fasting glucose, insulin, c-reactive protein concentrations, carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity and HOMA-IR were not associated with 24 hour systolic BPV. In a multiple linear regression model that included age, sex, BMI, 24 hour systolic BP, TGs and LDL-C, only fasting TGs (β=0.02 ± 0.01, P=0.02) were a significant correlate of 24 hour systolic BPV (Model R 2 =0.24, P=0.03). Results were the same if TC was substituted for LDL-C in the model. In conclusion, higher plasma TC, LDL-C and TGs are associated with greater 24 hour BPV among MA/O adults with obesity with only TGs being independently associated with BPV. These data suggest that greater variability in BP among MA/O adults with obesity is mediated in part through circulating TGs suggesting that TGs may be a therapeutic target to modify short-term BPV.

Self-care education (SCE) through home visit is one of the methods with potential effects on self-care. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of home-based SCE on blood pressure and self-care behaviors among middle-aged patients with primary hypertension in Iran. This randomized controlled trial was conducted on 110 middle-aged patients with hypertension recruited from public healthcare centers in the south of Tehran, Iran in September 2019. After convenience sampling, Participants were simple randomly allocated to control and intervention groups. Intervention group received a 2-month home-based SCE while control group received routine care services. Before and 2 months after the intervention, self-care behaviors were assessed using the Hypertension Self-Care Activity Level Effects (H-SCALE). Data were analyzed using the SPSS software (v. 16.0) at a significance level of less than .05. After 2 months, the posttest mean scores of self-care behaviors in medication adherence (17.42 ± 1.03 vs 14.49 ± 1.01, p = .04), physical activity (8.16 ± 0.39 vs 6.47 ± 0.52, p = .01), low-salt diet (52.51 ± 3.8 vs 35.36 ± 3.47, p = .001), and blood pressure control (3.47 ± 0.22 vs 2.42 ± 1.89, p = .001), in the intervention group were significantly greater than the control group. However, there were no significant between-group differences respecting the posttest mean scores of the weight management ( p = .06) and smoking cessation ( p = .2). Also, the mean blood pressure between the 2 groups changed after the intervention, but this difference was not statistically significant. This study suggests the effectiveness of home-based SCE in significantly improving self-care behaviors among patients with hypertension. But more studies are needed to measure the effectiveness of intervention on blood pressure. IRCT code: IRCT20190623043985N1. Registered 06/30/2019, https://fa.irct.ir/trial/40351 .

Objectives. The association between accessory renal artery (ARA) and hypertension remains not fully understood. We observed the association between ARA and clinical characteristics among middle-aged patients with primary hypertension. Methods. One hundred and sixty-two middle-aged (mean 39.82 ± 10.25 years, 58.0% male) patients with primary hypertension were enrolled, and patients underwent Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) of renal arteries, ambulatory blood pressure monitor (ABPM), echocardiography, physical examination, and routine blood chemistry examinations. According to the CTA results, patients were divided into a non-ARA (n = 108) and ARA (n = 54) group. Direct renin concentration (DRC), plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC), ABPM, echocardiography, creatinine, and glomerular filtration rate were compared between the two groups. Results. DRC (mU/L) (11.21 (5.34, 20.87) vs. 18.24 (10.32, 33.59), P=0.002) was significantly higher in the ARA group than in the non-ARA group. However, PAC (ng/dL) (98.30 (67.30, 134.00) vs. 116.50 (78.80, 137.25), P=0.103) was similar between these two groups. ABPM (mmHg) results showed that daytime (146.75 ± 17.04/95.86 ± 11.39 vs. 155.50 ± 14.76/100.48 ± 10.69, P<0.05), night time (133.44 ± 17.50/85.28 ± 12.80 vs. 139.81 ± 14.64/89.83 ± 11.21, P<0.05), and 24 h blood pressure (143.95 ± 15.99/93.90 ± 11.78 vs. 152.07 ± 13.85/98.11 ± 10.36, P<0.05) were significantly higher in the ARA group than in the non-ARA group. Accordingly, echocardiographic-derived posterior left ventricular wall thickness value was higher in the ARA group than in the non-ARA group. Conclusion. ARA is related to higher blood pressure and higher direct renin concentration in middle-aged patients with primary hypertension, and these patients deserve stricter blood pressure control. Our results provide important evidence for that ARA is a cause of hypertension and target organs damages.

Dietary Sodium Restriction

Increased marinobufagenin (MBG) synthesis has been suggested in response to high dietary salt intake. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of short-term changes in sodium intake on plasma MBG levels in patients with primary salt-sensitive and salt-insensitive hypertension. In total, 51 patients with primary hypertension were evaluated during acute sodium restriction and sodium loading. Plasma or serum concentrations of MBG, natriuretic pro-peptides, aldosterone, sodium, potassium, as well as hematocrit (Hct) value, plasma renin activity (PRA) and urinary sodium and potassium excretion were measured. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and echocardiography were performed at baseline. In salt-sensitive patients with primary hypertension plasma MBG correlated positively with diastolic blood pressure (ABPM) and serum NT-proANP concentration at baseline and with serum NT-proANP concentration after dietary sodium restriction. In this subgroup plasma MBG concentration decreased during sodium restriction, and a parallel increase of PRA was observed. Acute salt loading further decreased plasma MBG concentration in salt-sensitive subjects in contrast to salt insensitive patients. No correlation was found between plasma MBG concentration and left ventricular mass index. In conclusion, in salt-sensitive hypertensive patients plasma MBG concentration correlates with 24-h diastolic blood pressure and dietary sodium restriction reduces plasma MBG levels. Decreased MBG secretion in response to acute salt loading may play an important role in the pathogenesis of salt sensitivity.
