Abstract
Introduction: Hypertension is associated with changes in microcirculation, while increased blood pressure (BP) during exercise stress testing has been correlated with adverse outcomes.
Aim: To evaluate the relationship of microcirculation with exercise BP response in hypertensive individuals.
Methods: 105 hypertensive individuals underwent exercise stress testing and nail-fold videocapillaroscopy assessment, in order to evaluate the relationship of BP response to exercise with capillary density.
Results: A significant negative correlation between diastolic BP at 1-minute recovery and capillary density was revealed (Pearson's r = -0.365, p = 0.043). A significant negative correlation was also observed between capillary density and peak heart rate (HR) (Pearson's r = -0.364, p = 0.024) and HR increase from stage 1 to 2 (Pearson's r = -0.746, p = 0.013).
Conclusion: Capillary rarefaction is associated with an abnormal BP and HR response to exercise, highlighting the role of microcirculation in BP regulation during exercise.
导论:高血压与微循环改变有关,而运动应激试验期间血压升高与不良后果相关。目的:探讨高血压患者微循环与运动血压反应的关系。方法:对105例高血压患者进行运动应激试验和折甲血管镜检查,评价运动后血压反应与毛细血管密度的关系。结果:恢复1分钟时舒张压与毛细血管密度呈显著负相关(Pearson’s r = -0.365, p = 0.043)。毛细血管密度与峰值心率(HR) (Pearson’s r = -0.364, p = 0.024)和心率从1期到2期的增加(Pearson’s r = -0.746, p = 0.013)也呈显著负相关。结论:微循环在运动血压调节中的作用与运动时血压和心率的异常反应有关。
