Abstract:
Objective To observe the incidence,clinical characteristics,related factors,adverse events during hospitalization and short-term prognosis of postprandial hypotension (PPH) in elderly patients with coronary heart disease.Methods One hundred and sixty-eight elderly patients with coronary heart disease hospitalized in the Department of Cardiology,Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2014 to January 2015 were selected as the research subjects.They were monitored by 24 h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.According to the diagnostic criteria of PPH,they were divided into postprandial hypotension group (PPH group) 34 cases and non-postprandial hypotension group (NPPH group) 134 cases.The clinical characteristics,risk factors related to PPH,occurrence of adverse events and prognosis of all-cause death,cardiovascular and cerebrovascular adverse events were compared between the two groups.Results Among 168 elderly patients with coronary heart disease,thirty-four patients had PPH,and the incidence rate was 20.2％ (34/168).The average systolic blood pressure before meals in PPH group was (139.8± 18.6) mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa).The proportion of taking calcium antagonists was 50.0％ (17/34) higher than that in NPPH group (127.4± 13.2) mmHg,27.6％ (37/134).The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t =6.463,x2=6.232,P＜ 0.05).PPH was higher in breakfast and dinner than in lunch;the higher the basal systolic blood pressure level,the higher the incidence of PPH.Logistic regression analysis showed that the basal systolic blood pressure level and age were positively correlated with the occurrence of PPH (r =0.301,r =0.208,P＜ 0.05).Follow-up for 26 months showed that the incidence of all-cause death and cerebrovascular events in PPH group was higher than that in NPPH group (x2 =5.800,11.560,P＜ 0.05).Conclusion The incidence of PPH in elderly patients with coronary heart disease during hospitalization is 20.2％.Breakfast and dinner at three meals are prone to PPH.Older age and high systolic blood pressure level will increase the incidence of PPH.PPH will increase the incidence of mid-term all-cause death and cerebrovascular events.
