Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the relationship between arterial stiffness and variability of blood pressure (BPV) in senile patients with hypertension.
Methods: A total of 234 senile patients with hypertension were enrolled. The patients were examined by 24h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), BPV was identified by the standard deviation (SD) of blood pressure value. Based on increased percentage of baPWV, the patients were divided into 4 groups: Normal artery group, n=44, Mild arterial stiff group, n=72, Moderate arterial stiff group, n=78 and Severe arterial stiff group, n=40. The 24h ABPM results, BPV, biochemical indexes and their relationship to baPWV were compared among different groups.
Results:①The HDL-C level and 24hDBP, dDBP, 24hSBPSD, 24hDBPSD, dSBPSD, dDBPSD, nDBPSD were significantly different among each group, all P<0.05.②The increased percentage of baPWV was positively related to the age and 24hSBPSD, 24hDBPSD, dSBPSD, dDBPSD, nDBPSD, while negatively related to HDL-C level, all P<0.05.③The age and 24hSBPSD, 24hDBPSD, dSBPSD were the independent risk factors for baPWV elevation.
Conclusion: The arterial stiffness was closely related to BPV in senile patients with hypertension.
