Why the study?
Blood pressure variability had been studied primarily in heart failure and hypertension, but its relationship with MACE in the setting of acute coronary syndrome was unclear.
Is 24-hour blood pressure variability associated with major adverse cardiac events in hospitalized patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Is 24-hour blood pressure variability associated with major adverse cardiac events in hospitalized patients with acute myocardial infarction?
24-hour blood pressure variability was not significantly associated with MACE during the acute phase of AMI overall, but may be a predictive factor in patients with baseline hypertension.
Elevated BPV was associated with higher MACE in AMI; leaves open whether BPV reduction improves outcomes in trials.
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a challenging cardiovascular disease leading to a high rate of mortality. Some cardiomyocytes in AMI were affected by ischemia and necrosis, resulting in a decrease in myocardial contractility, an acute proinflammatory response, and an increase in sympathetic tone. In the meantime, proinflammation and endothelial dysfunction are induced by high blood pressure variability (BPV), which increases left ventricular workload, heart rate, and myocardial oxygen demand. As a result, a high BPV and the pathological effects it causes are likely to affect the onset of acute cardiac complications in AMI and the physiological function of the heart [1]. Patients Pulse changeability (BPV) has been fundamentally concentrated on through the crystal of congestive cardiovascular breakdown (CHF) and hypertension, yet not in that frame of mind of an intense coronary condition (ACS). This study means to explore the relationship between transient BPV and major unfavorable heart occasions (MACE) in AMI patients. The following order can be used to define MACEs: Death > shock > cerebrovascular stroke > heart failure > hypertensive crisis > life-threatening arrhythmias .This prospective study used the weighted standard deviation of 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring readings to include 74 patients who were hospitalized in the cardiology department at ARRAZI hospital MOHAMED VI, MARRAKECH between September 2022 and February 2023. Results: The average systolic BPV value which was estimated as standard deviation (SD) and average real variability (ARV) was more significant in the MACE group than in the non-MACE group. Systolic SD and systolic ARV in the MACE group were 12,78 mmHg and 11,61 mmHg respectively. In the non-MACE group, systolic SD and systolic ARV were 10.45 mmHg and 7,23 mmHg respectively. There was no significant association between BPV and MACE. However, there were significant differences between systolic ARV in patients with hypertension who experienced MACE and patients without hypertension who experienced MACE, unlike patients who didn’t experienced MACE for whom the ARV was nearly the same for patient with and without HBP. Conclusion: MACE was higher in the group BPV of AMI patients than that of non-MACE AMI patients. There was no significant association between BPV and MACE during the acute phase of AMI, however the BPV was significantly more important for HBP patient who experienced MACE, which leads us to think that the screening of BPV in HBP patient may by a predictive factor for the development of MACEs.
