Abstract:
Objective To explore the relation of high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and blood pressure variability(BPV) in primary hypertension. Methods Sixty-four patients with primary hypertension were divided into target organ damaged (TOD)group and no TOD group. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) was performed and BPV was assessed by coefficient of variation (CV) . Sixty-four patients were divided into higher CV group and lower CV group. Thirty controls were admitted into control group. The level of hs-CRP was measured. Results The systolic CV and the levels of hs-CRP was significandy different in TOD group [(16.12±2.17)%, (7.11±1.04)mg/L]and no TOD group [(13.30±2.64)%, (4.67±1.24)mg/L) ],compared with that in control group [(10.68±2.19)%, (1.68±1.49)mg/L]. The levels of hs-CRP were significantly different in higher CV group (n=32), and lower CV group(n = 32), compared with that in control group. Conclusion Inflammation may be involved in the occurrence and development of BPV.
