Popis: | Background Arterial reflected wave is determined by not only atherosclerosis but also sympathetic nerve activity. Recently, Arterial Velocity pulse Index (AVI), which is an index of arterial reflected waves, and Arterial Pressure volume Index (API), which is an index of volume of a conductive blood vessel, have been proposed as new index of arterial stiffness. However, it is unclear whether API and AVI would be associated with muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) in hypertensive subjects. Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between AVI, API and MSNA in hypertensive subjects. Method 41 hypertensive patients and 40 non-hypertensive subjects were included in this study. We performed a cross-sectional, observational study. Hypertension (HT) was defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥140 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥90 mmHg or medical treatment for HT. AVI and API was measured by NAS-1000 (Nihon Koden, Japan). MSNA, central sympathetic outflow to peripheral muscle, was recorded directly from peroneal nerve. MSNA was expressed by burst frequency (bursts/minute) and burst incidence (bursts/100heartbeats). Blood pressure, heart rate and MSNA were recorded simultaneously. Results Age, systolic and diastolic pressure were significantly higher in hypertensive patients compared to control (40±15 vs 61±13 years, p Conclusion Our finding showed that AVI relates to MSNA independent of API in patients with hypertension. It suggested that Novel index of arterial reflected waves, AVI, is helpful to estimate augmented SNA in hypertensive subjects regardless of volume of a conductive blood vessel.
