Tilt test in essential hypertension. Differential responses in heart rate and vascular resistance.

چکیده
Changes in hemodynamic parameters following 50-degree head-up tilt were studied in a population of 56 men, including 35 subjects with sustained essential hypertension and 21 age-matched normotensive controls. The increase in heart rate following tilt was similar in groups and exhibited the same reduction in response with age. The increase in vascular resistance following tilt was strongly and positively correlated with both age and baseline vascular resistance. The latter finding was observed mainly in hypertensive subjects. The study provided evidence that differentiated responses of heart rate and vascular resistance may be observed following orthostasis. In both normal and hypertensive subjects, the age dependence of heart rate response possibly reflected differences in baroreceptor reflex control of parasympathetic and sympathetic activity. In hypertensive subjects, the vascular response was amplified with age and baseline vascular resistance, suggesting a role for structural changes of the vessels in the increased vascular response.

متن کاملHemodynamic responses to tilt and beta-adrenergic blockade in young patients with borderline hypertension.
SUMMARY Seventeen young patients with b9rderline hypertension (one female) and 18 normo-tensive paid volunteers (two females) were studied at rest and in the tilted position after 10 min of 450 head-up tilt. Cardiac output, heart rate, and intra-arterial pressure were recorded. The measurements at rest and during the tilt were repeated after beta-adrenergic blockade with propranolol. By compari...

Introduction & Objective: Change in function of general and regional rennin- angiotensin system is the most important factor in cardiovascular disorders and essential hypertension. Recent studies show that general rennin- angiotensin system influence immediate and short term responses and tissue or regional rennin- angiotensin system influence long term process in control of heart and vascula...
متن کاملInfluences of norepinephrine transporter function on the distribution of sympathetic activity in humans.
Previous studies suggest that neuronal norepinephrine transporter function may regulate the distribution of sympathetic activity among blood vessels, heart, and kidney; we tested the functional relevance in humans. Sixteen healthy men (26+/-1 years) ingested 8 mg of the selective norepinephrine reuptake transporter inhibitor reboxetine or a matching placebo on 2 separate days in a double-blind,...
متن کاملHaemodynamics of orally-active converting enzyme inhibitor (SQ 14225) in hypertensive patients.
1. The haemodynamic effects of oral converting enzyme inhibitor (SQ 14225) were assessed in eight patients with severe essential or renovascular hypertension. 2. Mean arterial pressure fell (149 +/- 5 to 127 +/- 8 mmHg, P less than 0.02), because of a fall in total peripheral resistance (6.9 +/- 0.53 to 5.7 +/- 0.40 kPa 1(-1)s m2) without a significant change in cardiac index. Two of the eight ...
