Objective:To analyze hemodynamic characteristics during the initial phase of the head-up tilt test (HUTT) in children with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and the value for predicting vasovagal syncope(VVS).Methods:This was a case-control study involving 123 POTS patients who underwent HUTT in the Pediatric Cardiovascular Department at the Children's Hospital,Capital Institute of Pediatrics,from January 2021 to August 2023.According to HUTT results,participants were divided into POTS combined with VVS group( n=82) and POTS group( n=41).The general conditions,clinical symptoms,24-hour urine sodium levels,and hemodynamics changes during the initial phase of HUTT between the two groups were compared. Results:The prevalence of POTS combined with VVS was 66.13% (82/123).There were no significant differences in age,sex,body mass index,24-hour urinary sodium,heart rate,heart rate variability,and maximum heart rate variability during the initial phase of HUTT between the two groups( P>0.05).Compared to the POTS group,the 10-minute systolic blood pressure(SBP10),10-minute diastolic blood pressure (DBP10),and 10-minute mean blood pressure(MBP10) in the POTS combined with VVS group were significantly lower [SBP10: 104(98.8,114.3) vs. 111(105,121.5)mmHg, Z=-3.071, P<0.05; DBP10: 63.44±8.36 vs. 68.29±6.43 mmHg, t=-3.265, P <0.05; MBP10: 78.31±9.74 vs. 83.28±7.30 mmHg, t =-2.879, P<0.05].Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that DBP10,the difference between baseline DBP and DBP at 10-minute (△DBP10),and the in creasing rate of DBP10(△DBPR10) were predictive factors for POTS combined with VVS,with cut-off values of 67.5 mmHg (AUC=0.687,sensitivity 67.5%,specificity 72.0%),7.5 mmHg (AUC=0.633,sensitivity 43.9%,specificity 79.3%),and -2.84% (AUC=0.631,sensitivity 92.7%,specificity 31.7%),respectively.The combined predictive value was more significant (AUC=0.709, P<0.05),with sensitivity and specificity of 70.7% and 67.1%,respectively.In terms of age,DBP10 exhibited a higher predictive value in patients aged 13-18 years,with a DBP10 cut-off of 64.5 mmHg,AUC of 0.762,sensitivity of 92.7%,and specificity of 31.7%. Conclusion:The rate of HUTT-proven VVS in POTS was 66.13%.△DBP10,DBP10 and △DBPR10 have predictive value for POTS combined with VVS.Additionally,DBP10 shows a higher predictive value in patients aged 13-18 years.

Objective To explore the effect of maternal exercise on blood pressure,cardiac pheno-type and susceptibility to myocardial is chemia/reperfusion(MI/R)injury in adult male offsprings of mice.Methods Pregnant mice were randomly divided into a sedentary group(p-Ctr)and an exercise group(p-EX),each of 12.The exercise group underwent daily 60-minutenon-weight bearing swim-ming from gestational day(GD)1 to 18,6 days a week.Then,their male offsprings at 3 months of age(3M)were selected as the research subjects,namely the Ctr-3M group and the EX-3M group,with 12 mice in each group.The MI/R model was established by ligation of the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery(LAD)surgery(30 min of ischemia,24 h of reperfusion).Then,the systolic blood pressure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP),and mean arterial pressure(MAP)were monitored non-invasively via tail artery blood pressure measurement,while the cardiac function was detected by using the small animal ultrasound.Moreover,the cardiac morphology and col-lagen volume fraction(CVF)of myocardium was observed by HE staining and Masson staining,respec-tively.Meanwhile,the cross-sectional area(CSA)of myocardial cells and myocardial infarction area(INF/AAR)was measured using WGA staining and Evans Blue-TTC double staining,accordingly.What's more,the apoptosis index(AI)of myocardial cells and serum cardiac troponin I(cTnI)were de-tected by using TUNEL staining and ELISA,respectively,while the expression levels of Bax and Bcl-2 proteins were determined by using Western blotting.Results 1)From GD11 to GD19,the body weight of females in the p-EX group was always significantly lower than that in the p-Ctr group(GD11,GD13;P<0.05;GD12,GD14~GD19;P<0.01),but there was no significant difference in the litter size and abortion rate(P>0.05).2)There were no significant differences between the EX-3M and Ctr-3M groups in the heart weight(HW),body weight(BW)and heart weight to body weight ratio(HW/BW),SBP,DBP,MAP,myocardial CVF,and CSA of male offsprings(P>0.05).After MI/R surgery,in both p-Ctr and p-EX groups,myocardial transverse striations disappeared and cardiomyocytes were disarranged with degeneration and necrosis.Moreover,CVF of the EX-3M group was significantly lower than the Ctr-3M group after MI/R surgery(P<0.05).3)No significant differenc-es were found between the Ctr-3M and EX-3M groups in the average cardiac ejection fraction(EF),fractional shortening(FS),left ventricle internal diameter in diastole(LVIDd),and left ventricle inter-nal diameter in systole(LVIDs)(P>0.05).However,after the MI/R surgery,the postoperative EF and FS(P<0.01),and LVIDs(P<0.05)in the EX-3M group were significantly higher than the Ctr-3M group,without significant difference in LVIDd(P>0.05).4)After MI/R surgery,the average AI,INF/AAR and serum cTnI level of the EX-3M group were significantly lower than the Ctr-3M group(P<0.01 for all).5)The relative expression level of myocardial Bcl-2 protein after MI/R surgery in the EX-3M group was significantly higher than the Ctr-3M group(P<0.05),while that of myocardial Bax protein(P<0.05)and the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio(P<0.01)were significantly lower than the latter.Conclu-sions Prenatal exercise significantly reduces the susceptibility to myocardial ischemia injury in 3-month-old male mice offspring,improves the contractile function of their heart,and attenuates the degree of cardiomyocyte apoptosis and necrosis,exerting a cardioprotective effect in MI/R injury.
