Abstract:
Objective To study the current status of morning blood pressure peak in elderly masked hypertension patients and study the correlation between morning blood pressure peak and cognitive function.Methods A total of 72 elderly masked hypertension patients were selected in this study,.Morning blood pressure peak was measured by ABPM examination.The patients were divided into three groups according to the morning blood pressure peak.Morning blood pressure peak ≤ 30 mmHg were divided into non-Morning blood pressure surge group ( NMS group),morning blood pressure peak ＞30 mmHg were divided into Morning blood pressure surge group ( MS group).The cognitive function scale was determined (MMSE and MoCA).T-test and linear regression analysis were performed.Results MMSE score(27.69±2.04) and MoCA scores(24.85 ± 1.52) in MS group were lower than NMS group (28.87 ± 1.34,26.54± 1.53) ( P ＜0.01 ).MMSE and MoCA scores were negatively correlated with the morning blood pressure peak ( r =- 0.308,- 0.447,P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusions Elderly masked hypertension patients remained the phenomenon of the morning blood pressure peak,the morning blood pressure peak could lead to cognitive impairment.
