Why the study?

Is baroreceptor dysfunction (hypotensive response to orthostatic posture) associated with structural derangement of the carotid arteries in subjects with mild essential hypertension?

Population

30 subjects with mild essential hypertension, divided into group A and group B.

Comparison

Hyporeacting response to passive orthostatic… vs Normoreacting response to passive orthostatic…

Design

Cross-sectional

Discussion

Implication

Baroreflex hyporeactivity was associated with carotid bulb enlargement in mild hypertension; leaves open causality and clinical relevance.

Structured PICO

Is baroreceptor dysfunction (hypotensive response to orthostatic posture) associated with structural derangement of the carotid arteries in subjects with mild essential hypertension?

Population

30 subjects with mild essential hypertension, divided into group A (n=15, hyporeacting with a decrease in mean blood pressure >= 10 mmHg at the first minute of a passive orthostatic stress) and group B (n=15, normoreacting with an increase in mean blood pressure >= 5 mmHg).

Intervention

Hyporeacting response to passive orthostatic stress (Group A)

Comparator

Normoreacting response to passive orthostatic stress (Group B)

Outcome

Carotid artery structure evaluated by high definition echo Doppler ultrasonography, including arterial compliance index, volume of the carotid bulb, and a score expressing the degree of arteriopathy.surrogate

In mild essential hypertension, hypotensive responses to orthostatic stress are associated with structural derangements of the carotid artery, specifically increased carotid bulb volume and arteriopathy.
