- Description:
- Baroreflex control of heart rate was studied in inbred salt-sensitive (SS/Jr) and salt-resistant (SR/Jr) Dahl rats that were subjected to chronic dietary sodium chloride loading (for 4 weeks) either in youth or only in adulthood, i.e. from the age of 4 or 12 weeks. Using phenylephrine administration to pentobarbital-anesthetized male rats we have demonstrated the decreased baroreflex sensitivity (lower slope for reflex bradycardia) in young prehypertensive SS/Jr rats fed a low-salt diet as compared to age-matched SR/Jr animals. High salt intake further suppressed baroreflex sensitivity in young SS/Jr but not in SR/Jr rats. Baroreflex sensitivity decreased with age in SR/Jr rats, whereas it increased in SS/Jr rats fed a low-salt diet. Thus at the age of 16 weeks baroreflex sensitivity was much higher in SS/Jr than in SR/Jr animals. High salt intake lowered baroreflex sensitivity even in adult SS/Jr rats without affecting it in adult SR/Jr rats. Nevertheless, baroreflex sensitivity was significantly lower in young SS/Jr rats with a severe salt hypertension than in adult ones with a moderate blood pressure elevation. It is concluded that the alterations of baroreflex sensitivity in young inbred SS/Jr rats (including the response to high salt intake) are similar to those described earlier for outbred salt-sensitive Dahl rats. We have, however, disclosed contrasting age-dependent changes of baroreflex sensitivity in both inbred substrains of Dahl rats., J. Nedvídek, J. Zicha., and Obsahuje bibliografii

- Subject:
- premature infants, volume-clamp photoplethysmography, baroreflex sensitivity, blood pressure, postconceptional age, and sex differences
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- To characterize the differences in baroreflex sensitivity (BRS), blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR) and respiration rate (RR) in preterm infants with a similar postconceptional age reached by various combinations of gestational and postnatal ages. To detect potential sex differences in assessed cardiovascular parameters. The study included 49 children (24 boys and 25 girls), postconceptional age 34.6±1.9 weeks. Two subgroups of infants were selected with the similar postconceptional age (PcA) and current weight, but differing in gestational (GA) and postnatal (PnA) ages, as well as two matched subgroups of boys and girls. Blood pressure (BP) was recorded continuously using Portapres device (FMS). A stationary segment of 250 beat-to-beat BP values was analyzed for each child. Baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) was calculated by cross-correlation sequence method. Despite the same PcA age and current weight, children with longer GA had higher BRS, diastolic and mean BP than children with shorter GA and longer PnA age. Postconceptional age in preterm infants is a parameter of maturation better predicting baroreflex sensitivity and blood pressure values compared to postnatal age. Sex related differences in BRS, BP, HR and RR were not found in our group of preterm infants.

- Description:
- 1a_It has been known for many years that baroreflex sensitivity is lowered in hypertensive patients. There are several known factors implicating this association, e.g. high blood pressure leads to remodeling of the carotid arterial wall, to its stiffness and to a diminished activation of baroreceptors; leptin released from a fatty tissue activates the sympathetic nervous system etc. On the other hand, low baroreflex sensitivity (BRS, usually quantified in ms/mmHg) can be inborn. Studies on primary hypertension in children and adolescents have brought new information about the role of baroreflex in the development of an early stage of primary hypertension. BRS lower than 3.9 ms/mmHg was found in 5 % of healthy subjects. This value approaches the critical value for the risk of sudden cardiac death in patients after myocardial infarction and corresponds to the value present in hypertensive patients. A decreased BRS and BRSf (baroreflex sensitivity expressed in mHz/mmHg, index independent of the mean cardiac interval), was found not only in children with hypertension, but also in those with white-coat hypertension. This is in accordance with a single interpretation. The decrease of BRS/BRSf precedes a pathological blood pressure increase., 2a_The contribution of obesity and BRS/BRSf to the development of hypertension in adolescents was also compared. Both factors reach a sensitivity and a specificity between 60 % and 65 %, but there is no correlation between the values of the body mass index and BRS either in the group of hypertensive patients or in healthy controls. If a receiver operating curve (sensitivity versus specificity) is plotted for both values together using logistic regression analysis, a sensitivity higher than 70 % and a specificity over 80 % are reached. This means that low baroreflex sensitivity is an independent risk factor for the development of primary hypertension. Studies demonstrate that adolescents with increased blood pressure and with BRS under 7 ms/mmHg should be given care and intensively motivated to change their lifestyle including a change in diet and increase in physical activity., and N.

2939. Baroreflex Sensitivity as an Individual Characteristic Feature

- Subject:
- Baroreflex sensitivity, Reproducibility, and Interindividual variability
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- The reproducibility of baroreflex sensitivity (BRS in ms/mmHg; BRSf in mHz/mmHg) determined with respect to the coherence between the variability in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and inter-beat intervals (IBI) or heart rate (HR) was tested. SBP and IBI were recorded beat-to-beat for 5 min (Finapres, breathing at 0.33 Hz) in 116 subjects (aged 19-24 years) sitting at rest three times in periods of one week. BRS and BRSf was determined by a cross-spectral method in a frequency range of 0.067-0.133 Hz. Eight indices were evaluated: BRS0.1Hz/BRSf0.1Hz - the value at a frequency of 0.1 Hz; BRSCOHmax/BRSfCOHmax - the value at maximum coherence; BRSWcoh/BRSfWcoh - weighted value with respect to coherence values in the whole frequency range; BRSWPcoh/BRSWPcoh - weighted value with respect to coherence for frequencies with coherence above 0.5. All indices revealed a lower intraindividual than interindividual variability (p<0.001). The individual mean values of BRS or BRSf correlated (p<0.001) with standard deviation of their individual values for all indices. Baroreflex sensitivity is an individual characteristic feature with the highest reproducibility at its low values in spite of its resting variation. Reproducibility is not influenced by modification of the spectral method used.

- Subject:
- Fyziologie člověka a srovnávací fyziologie, infarkt myokardu, myocardial infarction, baroreflex sensitivity, spectral analysis, cardiac death, risk stratification, 14, and 612
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- Sympathetic overactivity and low parasympathetic activity is an autonomic dysfunction (AD) which enhances cardiac mortality. In the present study, the impact of AD on the mortality in patients after myocardial infarction was evaluated. We examined 162 patients 7-21 days after myocardial infarction, 20 patients of whom died in the course of two years. Baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) was estimated by spectral analysis of spontaneous fluctuations of systolic blood pressure and cardiac intervals (Finapres, 5 min recording, controlled breathing 20/min). The heart rate variability was determined as SDNN index (mean of standard deviations of RR intervals for all 5-min segments of 24-hour ECG recordings). BRS < 3 ms/mm Hg and/or SDNN index < 30 ms were taken as markers of AD. The risk stratification was performed according to the number of the following standard risk factors of increased risk of cardiac mortality (SRF): ejection fraction < 40 %, positive late potentials and the presence of ventricular extrasystoles > 10/h. No difference in mortality between patients with AD (4 %) and without AD (4.5 %) was found in 92 patients without SRF, the mortality in 6 patients with three SRF was 66.6 %. Five of these patients had AD. Out of 64 patients with one or two SRF, 32 had AD. The mortality of patients without AD was 6.25 % and 31.2 % of those with AD (p<0.025). It is concluded that AD enhanced two-years mortality five fold in our patients with moderate risks., N. Honzíková, B. Semrád, B. Fišer, R. Lábrová., and Obsahuje bibliografii
