Abstract:
Objective To explore the relationship between blood pressure variability(BPV),white matter lesions(WMLs),regional cerebral blood flow(rCBF)and cognitive function.Methods The degree of WMLs was assessed by Fazekas scale.rCBF was detected by brain perfusion imaging.Twenty-four hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring was used to calculate the blood pressure coefficient of variation(CV)to measure BPV.Cognitive function was assessed by Montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA).Results Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that compared with those in 24 h systolic blood pressure CV Q1 group,mean white matter blood flow(MWCBF)in Q3 group and Q4 group were significantly decreased(OR=5.63,95%CI:1.31-24.14,OR=9.70,95%CI:2.23-42.17),the risk of moderate to severe cognitive impairment was significantly increased(OR=5.37,95%CI:1.24-23.21;OR=10.44,95%CI:2.39-45.65);the risk of severe WMLs in the Q4 group was significantly increased(OR=9.61,95%CI:2.00-46.26).Person correlation analysis showed that mean diurnal systolic blood pressure(MDSBP),mean nocturnal systolic blood pressure(MNSBP),mean diurnal diastolic blood pressure(MDDBP)and mean nocturnal diastolic blood pressure(MNDBP)were negatively correlated MWCBF(all P<0.01).MoCA score was positively correlated with MWCBF(P<0.01),and negatively correlated with daytime systolic blood pressure coefficient of variation(dSBPCV),nighttime systolic blood pressure coefficient of variation(nSBPCV),daytime diastolic blood pressure coefficient of variation(dDBPCV),nighttime diastolic blood pressure coefficient of variation(nDBPCV)and Fazekas score(all P<0.01).Fazekas score was positively correlated with dSBPCV,nSBPCV,dDBPCV and nDBPCV(all P<0.01),and negatively correlated with MWCBF(P<0.01).Conclusions High BPV is an independent risk factor for cognitive impairment in WMLs patients.Lower MWCBF is associated with lower MoCA score and higher BPV.
