Abstract

Twenty men with coronary heart disease underwent the following exercise tests: a) bicycle ergometry, b) 5 kilometre walk and c) short march with a 5 kilogram weight carried in one hand. In each performed test during maximal work the following parameters were determined: oxygen uptake (VO2), plasma noradrenaline (NA) and lactate (LA) concentrations. ECG was monitored continuously and blood pressure was measured. It was found that a supplementary static load added to the dynamic work during short march with a weight resulted in the highest NA concentration. In that test, the rate-pressure product (HR X BPs) also increased and a greater ST segment depression and aggravation of arrhythmia were noted as compared to the findings obtained during the 5 kilometer march and also in the classic ergometric test.

Calpain-5 gene variants are associated with diastolic blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

BACKGROUND: Genes implicated in common complex disorders such as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) or cardiovascular diseases are not disease specific, since clinically related disorders also share genetic components. Cysteine protease Calpain 10 (CAPN10) has been associated with T2DM, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, increased body mass index (BMI) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a reproductive disorder of women in which isunlin resistance seems to play a pathogenic role. The calpain 5 gene (CAPN5) encodes a protein homologue of CAPN10. CAPN5 has been previously associated with PCOS by our group. In this new study, we have analysed the association of four CAPN5 gene variants(rs948976A>G, rs4945140G>A, rs2233546C>T and rs2233549G>A) with several cardiovascular risk factors related to metabolic syndrome in general population. METHODS: Anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, insulin, glucose and lipid profiles were determined in 606 individuals randomly chosen from a cross-sectional population-based epidemiological survey in the province of Segovia in Central Spain (Castille), recruited to investigate the prevalence of anthropometric and physiological parameters related to obesity and other components of the metabolic syndrome. Genotypes at the four polymorphic loci in CAPN5 gene were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). RESULTS: Genotype association analysis was significant for BMI (p < or = 0.041), diastolic blood pressure (p = 0.015) and HDL-cholesterol levels (p = 0.025). Different CAPN5 haplotypes were also associated with diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (0.0005 < or = p < or = 0.006) and total cholesterol levels (0.001 < or = p < or = 0.029). In addition, the AACA haplotype, over-represented in obese individuals, is also more frequent in individuals with metabolic syndrome defined by ATPIII criteria (p = 0.029). CONCLUSION: As its homologue CAPN10, CAPN5 seems to influence traits related to increased risk for cardiovascular diseases. Our results also may suggest CAPN5 as a candidate gene for metabolic syndrome.

Left ventricular mass, blood pressure, and lowered cognitive performance in the Framingham offspring.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether echocardiographic left ventricular mass is related to cognitive performance beyond casual blood pressure adjusting for the influence of other vascular risk factors. We used multivariable regression analyses to relate left ventricular mass assessed at a routine examination (1995-1998) to measures of cognitive ability obtained routinely (1998-2001) in 1673 Framingham Offspring Study participants (56% women; mean age: 57 years) free from stroke, transient ischemic attack, and dementia. We adjusted for the following covariates hierarchically: (1) age, education, sex, body weight, height, interval between left ventricular mass measurement and neuropsychological testing (basic model); (2) basic model+blood pressure+treatment for hypertension; and (3) basic model+blood pressure+treatment for hypertension+vascular risk factors and prevalent cardiovascular disease. For the basic model, left ventricular mass was inversely associated with abstract reasoning (similarities), visual-spatial memory and organization, and verbal memory. For the basic model+blood pressure+treatment for hypertension, left ventricular mass was inversely associated with similarities and visual-spatial memory and organization. For the basic+blood pressure+treatment for hypertension+risk factors+cardiovascular disease model, no significant associations were observed. Echocardiographic left ventricular mass is associated with cognitive performance beyond casual and time-averaged systolic blood pressure, but this association is attenuated and rendered nonsignificant with additional adjustment for cardiovascular risk factors and cardiovascular disease, thus suggesting that these variables play an important role in mediating the association between left ventricular mass and cognition.

Enhanced plasma soluble CD40 ligand levels in essential hypertensive patients with blunted nocturnal blood pressure decrease.

BACKGROUND: Hypertensives with a blunted nocturnal blood pressure (BP) decrease have increased risk of developing atherosclerotic disease. Soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L) is involved in the pathogenesis of risk factor-related vascular damage. Therefore, we evaluated the relationship between circulating sCD40L levels, circadian BP profile, and early carotid atherosclerosis in essential hypertensives. METHODS: Plasma sCD40L concentrations were assessed in two groups of 25 never-treated hypertensives, without additional cardiovascular risk factors, differentiated on the basis of a nocturnal decrease of BP either of >10% (dippers) or <10% (nondippers) of daytime values, and in 25 matched normotensives. Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) was also measured in all participants. RESULTS: Plasma sCD40L concentrations were higher in nondippers (4.9 +/- 1.2 ng/mL) than in dippers (3.7 +/- 0.7, P = .0005) and controls (1.6 +/- 0.6, P < .0001). These latter had lower sCD40L concentrations than dippers (P < .0001). The IMT was higher in both hypertensive groups than in normotensives (P < .0001). In the entire hypertensive population IMT directly correlated with circulating levels of sCD40L (r = 0.365, P = .01) and inversely correlated with nocturnal systolic BP decreases (r = -0.286, P = .043). In a multivariate regression analysis sCD40L was the main determinant of IMT (r(2) = 0.157, P = .004). CONCLUSIONS: Nondippers have enhanced plasma sCD40L levels, which may contribute to their increased susceptibility to develop vascular damage.
