Caffeine increases aortic stiffness in hypertensive patients.
BACKGROUND Caffeine is the most widely used pharmacologic substance. Aortic stiffness is an important factor for cardiovascular system performance and a prognosticator of cardiovascular risk. We investigated the effect of caffeine on aortic stiffness in treated hypertensive patients. METHODS We studied the effect of caffeine (250 mg) in 12 treated hypertensive patients according to a randomiz...
متن کاملThe Relationship Between Ambulatory Arterial Stiffness Index and Blood Pressure Variability in Hypertensive Patients
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Ambulatory arterial stiffness index (AASI) is well known as a predictor of cardiovascular mortality in hypertensive patients. Mathematically, AASI reflect the standard deviation (SD) of blood pressure (BP) variation. AASI is measured higher levels in non-dipper than dipper. Thus, AASI has a possibility of not only reflecting arterial stiffness but also BP variability a...
متن کاملPlasma homocysteine, aortic stiffness, and renal function in hypertensive patients.
Hyperhomocysteinemia has been associated with both vascular structure alterations and vascular clinical end points. To assess the relation between plasma homocysteine, structure and function of large arteries, and the presence of clinical vascular disease, we investigated a population of 236 hypertensive patients. We estimated arterial stiffness by measuring the carotid-femoral pulse wave veloc...
متن کاملReproducibility of the ambulatory arterial stiffness index in hypertensive patients.
BACKGROUND We studied the repeatability of the ambulatory arterial stiffness index (AASI), which can be computed from 24-h blood pressure (BP) recordings as unity minus the regression slope of diastolic on systolic BP. METHODS One hundred and fifty-two hypertensive outpatients recruited in Nijmegen (mean age = 46.2 years; 76.3% with systolic and diastolic hypertension) and 145 patients enroll...
متن کاملSphingomyelin levels in nondipper and dipper hypertensive patients
A number of studies have focused on the association between sphingomyelin (SM) levels and atherosclerosis, however, there are few data concerning the correlation of SM with nondipper hypertension. The present study aimed to investigate the correlation between plasma SM levels and nondipper status in patients with hypertension. A total of 200 hypertensive patients were enrolled and divided into ...
