Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in normotensive individuals undergoing two single exercise sessions: resistive exercise training and aerobic exercise training

Ambrosina Maria Lignani de Miranda Bermudes et al. Dalton Valentim Vassallo Elisardo Corral Vasquez Eliudem Galvão Lima

OBJECTIVE: To assess the influence of 2 single exercise sessions on blood pressure in sedentary normotensive individuals: one of resistive exercise training (circuit weight training) and the other of aerobic exercise training. METHODS: Using ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, this study assessed 25 individuals as follows: in a controlled situation at rest (ABPM 1); after resistive exercise training (ABPM 2); and after aerobic exercise training (ABPM 3). Resistive exercise training was performed as circuit weight training with an intensity of 40% of each individual’s maximum strength. The aerobic exercise training was performed on a cycloergometer with intensity between 60% and 70% of the maximum heart rate (HR) reached during previous exercise testing. RESULTS: Systolic blood pressure (SBP) values during 24 hours and during subperiods of wakefulness and sleep showed no statistically significant variations when the results obtained at rest were compared with those of ABPM2 and ABPM3, and when the results of ABPM2 were compared with those of ABPM3. The mean heart rate during 24 hours and in the wakefulness period showed significant increases (P<0.05), when ABPM2 was compared with ABPM3. CONCLUSION: A single session of resistive exercise training in normotensive individuals was sufficient to cause significant reductions in blood pressure levels after exercise in the period of sleep. The session of aerobic exercise training in these same individuals was more effective in significantly reducing blood pressure levels.

A multicenter, open-label study of the efficacy and safety of telmisartan in mild to moderate hypertensive patients

Frida Liane Plavnik et al. Artur Beltrame Ribeiro

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of telmisartan, given once a day to patients with mild to moderate hypertension, as well as to assess the 24-hour blood pressure profile with ABPM. METHODS: Initially, 163 patients over 18 were selected, regardless of sex, with blood pressure levels >140/90mmHg at visit 1, which was confirmed at visit 2. One hundred thirty-four patients completed the study. After a 4-week placebo run-in phase, telmisartan 40mg/daily was given for 6 weeks. In those patients whose blood pressure (BP) levels were lower than 140/90mmHg, the same dosage was kept for an additional period of 6 weeks. For those who had BP higher than 140/90mmHg, the dosage was increased to 80mg/daily. Sixty-two patients were included in a subgroup that underwent ABPM 3 different times during the study. RESULTS: In the overall group, blood pressure reduction ranged from 162.3±14.5/101.3±5.75 mmHg (baseline) to 147.3±20.1/90.8±10.9 mmHg (week 12) (p<0.05). Mean blood pressure decreases were 14.4mmHg for systolic BP and 10.3mmHg for diastolic BP, after 12 weeks of active treatment. A subanalysis showed that 47 (35%) patients took telmisartan 40mg throughout the study and 81 (65%) had the dosage increased to 80mg daily. Using ABPM, an 8-mmHg reduction in systolic BP as well as a 5-mmHg reduction in diastolic BP were observed, when compared with baseline values in the final 6 hours (18-24 hours after the last dose of study medication). CONCLUSION: Our results confirm that telmisartan given once a day is effective in reducing blood pressure levels in mild to moderate hypertensive patients. This reduction occurs in a sustained and gradual manner during a 24-hour period confirmed by ABPM.

Single daily dose of verapamil (COER-24 180/240mg) in mild and moderate hypertension evaluated by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring

Katia Coelho Ortega et al. José Luis Santello Fernando Nobre Oswaldo Kohlman Jr … Paulo César B. Veiga Jardim Lilian Soares da Costa Guido Aranha Rosito José Joaquim Fernandes Raposo Fº Wille Oigman Décio Mion Jr

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the anti-hypertensive effecft of verapamil COER-24 180/240 mg in a single dose at bedtime as single therapy in mild to moderate hypertensives. METHODS: A multicentric, open, placebo controlled study of 81 hypertensive patients older than 20 years-old followed to 8 weeks. Blood pressure was measured in doctor’s office and by 24h ambulatory monitoring (ABPM). RESULTS: We observed a decreased in systolic and diastolic blood pressure in doctor’s office at 4th and 8th weeks. ABPM showed that both systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure, heart rate and the mean 24-hour blood pressure load decreased after the 8-week treatment. In addition, there was a reduction of the double-product, especially in the morning and 68% of the patients didn’t have any adverse events. CONCLUSION: The theraphy verapamil COER-24 180/240mg in a single dose is useful for mild and moderate hypertensive patients, with significant pressure decrease in both office blood pressure measurements and in the ABPM/24 hours, as well as showing good tolerability.

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in individuals with exaggerated blood pressure response to exercise, influence of exercise training

Eliudem Galvão Lima et al. Fernando Herkenhoff Elisardo Corral Vasquez

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effects of exercise training on ergometric test and Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) in normotensive individuals with exaggerated blood pressure response to exercise. METHODS: We studied 22 sedentary and normotensive subjects (mean 44±1 years old) showing an exaggerated systolic blood pressure response (SBP>220mmHg) during a cycloergometric test. These individuals were divided in two groups: sedentary hyperreactive group (SHG) and trained hyperreactive group (THG). The THG was submitted to a 4 month aerobic exercise training program. RESULTS: A program of moderate aerobic exercise did not reduce (P>0.05) ABPM blood pressure levels. However, in the submaximal loads of dynamic exercise we observed a significant fall in the SBP and heart rate (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Normotensive individuals with exaggerated blood pressure response to dynamical exercise submitted to physical training presented a reduction in their systolic blood pressure and heart rate response during the submaximal loads of the cycloergometric test. The ABPM blood pressure values, however, did not change in both groups. These results suggest the involvement of the sympathetic nervous system in the exaggerated blood pressure response observed in these individuals during dynamic exercise and a corresponding reduction of the sympathetic tonus after training. This effect, apparently, did not extend to their daily activities.
