Background: By 2030, approximately 20% of the population worldwide will be 65 years of age or older. In this age group, cardiovascular diseases (CVD) will result in 40% of all deaths. Heart rate variability (HRV) appears to be reduced under stress conditions and in many chronic diseases as cardiovascular diseases that appear to be associated with autonomic changes that usually include decreased parasympathetic activation and/or increased sympathetic modulation. Thus, aging is very important for altering neurohumoral mechanisms that control the cardiovascular system. Objective: To analyze the influence of level of physical activity in the HRV in elderly people. Methods: Cross-sectional analytical study which included 49 subjects (60 – 86 years), which answered the Baecke questionnaire. Results: The less physically active group had lower levels of plasma HDL (42±2.43mg/dL vs 52±3.8mg/dL) and higher systolic BP (131±117mmHg vs 117±4.07mmHg) when compared to the most active group. The more physically active group showed higher PI of variance (1849.6±387.7ms²) when compared to the moderate (892.1±141.9 ms²) and the less physically active groups (972.3±285.2 ms²). Moreover, the most physically active group presented lower LF/HF balance (1.6±0.2) when compared to the moderate (2.6±0.3) and the less active groups (2.5±0.2). Discussion: The results demonstrated the importance of physical activity to promote hemodynamic, autonomic and lipid profile improvement, suggesting a lower risk of developing or progressing the disease in the elderly.

Familial history of hypertension is associated with autonomic dysfunction and increase in blood pressure (BP). However, an active lifestyle has been found to improve a number of health outcomes and reduce all-cause mortality. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of an active lifestyle on hemodynamics, heart rate variability (HRV) and oxidative stress markers in offspring of hypertensive parents. One hundred twenty-seven subjects were assigned into four groups: sedentary offspring of normotensives (S-ON) or hypertensives (S-OH); and physically active offspring of normotensives (A-ON) or hypertensives (A-OH). Diastolic BP and heart rate were reduced in the physically active groups when compared to S-OH group. A-ON and A-OH groups presented increased values of RR total variance when compared to the sedentary ones (A-ON: 4,912 ± 538 vs. S-ON: 2,354 ± 159; A-OH: 3,112 ± 236 vs. S-OH: 2,232 ± 241 ms 2 ). Cardiac sympato-vagal balance (LF/HF), systemic hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anion were markedly increased in S-OH group when compared to all other studied groups. Additionally, important correlations were observed between LF/HF with diastolic BP (r = 0.30) and hydrogen peroxide (r = 0.41). Thus, our findings seem to confirm an early autonomic dysfunction in offspring of hypertensive parents, which was associated with a systemic increase in reactive oxygen species and blood pressure. However, our most important finding lies in the attenuation of such disorders in offspring of physically active hypertensives, thus emphasizing the importance of a physically active lifestyle in the prevention of early disorders that may be associated with onset of hypertension.

Objective: Hypertension is the leading cause of cardiovascular disease and premature death. New methods for early detection of hypertension and its consequences can reduce complications arising from uncontrolled hypertension. Pulse-wave velocity (PWV), a measure of arterial stiffness, has been recognized as a valuable tool in assessing risk for cardiovascular complications, although its use in clinical practice is currently limited. Here we examine whether brachial--ankle PWV (baPWV) and femoral--ankle PWV (faPWV) are elevated in nonhypertensive volunteers, with and without a history of familial hypertension. Methods: Volunteers were recruited and questioned as to their medical background and family history. Participants were divided into two groups based on history of familial hypertension and were measured for baPWV and faPWV. Carotid--femoral PWV was computed from these measurements. Results: A total of 82 healthy nonhypertensive volunteers (mean age 31.4 ± 9.6) were recruited. Among the study cohort, 43.7% had a history of familial hypertension. There were no between-group differences in any other clinical or demographic characteristics. Both baPWV and faPWV were significantly elevated in volunteers with a history of familial hypertension (10.86 ± 1.69 vs. 9.68 ± 1.52 m/s, P < 0.004, and 7.01 ± 1.65 vs. 6.28 ± 1.26 m/s, P < 0.028, respectively). Conclusion: Volunteers with a history of familial hypertension present with elevated baPWV and faPWV. This is suggestive of increased central and peripheral arterial stiffness in susceptible individuals before the onset of hypertension. Routine measurement of these parameters may allow for early intervention and risk stratification, especially in persons with a history of familial hypertension.
