Abstract:
ObjectiveTo investigate the plasma endothelin(ET),angiotensin (Ang) Ⅱ levels on middle cerebral artery resistance in hypertension patients.MethodsThe plasma ET and Ang Ⅱ levels were determined in hypertension grade 1 (grade 1 group,40 cases),grade 2 (grade 2 group,40 cases ),grade 3(grade 3 group,40 cases) and healthy adults (control group,50 cases).The systolic velocity and pulsatility index of middle cerebral artery were determined by transcranial Doppler,and 24 h ambulatory blood pressure was monitored.ResultsThe pulsatility index in grade 2 group and grade 3 group was higher than that in control group and grade 1 group (1.23 ±0.22,1.31 ±0.21 vs.0.76 ±0.18,0.78 +0.13)(P＜0.05).The systolic velocity in grade 2 group was higher than that in control group,grade 1 group and grade 3 group [(87.8 ± 11.7) cm/s vs.(60.8 ± 10.6),(63.8 ± 11.8),(49.9 ± 10.8) cm/s](P ＜ 0.05),and in grade 3 group was lower than that in control group,grade 1 group and grade 2 group(P ＜ 0.05 ).The plasma ET,Ang Ⅱ in grade 1,2,3 group was higher than that in control group[(46.83 ± 8.83 ),(55.63 ± 10.28 ),(67.19 ± 10.73)ng/L vs.( 38.94 ± 7.83 ) ng/L and ( 50.23 ± 9.23 ),(64.34 ± 12.23 ),( 79.83 ± 13.43 ) ng/L vs.(41.63 ± 8.76 )ng/L] (P ＜0.05).A increasing trend in the plasma ET and Ang Ⅱ was present with increasing the hypertension grade(P ＜ 0.05 ).The night average systolic pressure,night average diastolic pressure and plasma ET,Ang Ⅱ levels in dipper hypertension patients (60 cases) were lower than those in non-dipper hypertension patients(60 cases) [(121.83 ± 11.83) mm Hg(1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa) vs.(138.84 ± 13.29)mm Hg,(77.23 ± 8.54) mm Hg vs.(86.93 ± 10.34) mm Hg,(48.83 ± 10.14) ng/L vs.(59.83 ± 11.29)ng/L,(55.84 ± 10.83 ) ng/L vs.(72.83 ± 20.29) ng/L,P ＜ 0.05].ConclusionMonitoring plasma ET,Ang Ⅱ levels and ambulatory blood pressure in hypertension patients is helpful in using medicine to improve endothelial function and to promote its dynamic type into a dipper blood pressure in the treatment of patients,thereby to reduce the incidence of hypertension adverse events.
