Arterial Compliance, Systolic Pressure and Heart Rate in Elderly Women at Rest and on Exercise

Abstract: In two groups of elderly women, the relationships between arterial compliance, estimated by pulse wave velocity (PWV), and systolic blood pressure (SP), heart rate (HR), oxygen consumption and the time taken to run 400 m have been studied. Both at rest and with increasing levels of exercise, faster PWVs are associated with higher SPs. There is a tendency for resting HR to be higher with faster PWVs. The changes in HR and oxygen consumption from resting values are strikingly increased with faster PWVs. The time… Show more

“…In our study, positive correlations were found between PWV and diastolic and mean blood pressure (4,(10)(11)(12)(13) . Reduced arterial elasticity in increased blood pressure appears to be caused by structural changes, including smooth muscle hypertrophy, changes of extracellular matrix, and increased collagen levels of the vessel wall (14) .…”

“…Age is the most important factor that contributes to increased aortic PWV in our study. At the same time, many studies have investigated the effects of different factors, such as sex, weight, height, blood pressure, heart rate, inflammatory markers, such as C-reactive protein, and also age on PWV (4,(10)(11)(12) . Since the most important factor is age, decrease arterial elasticity caused by decrease in elastin fiber and increase in collagenous material are related with advanced age (4) .…”

“…Individual studies were included in more than one meta-analysis if multiple cardiovascular disease risk factors were able to be extracted or calculated. Some studies reported estimates for individual cardiovascular disease risk factors in sub-groups [11][12][13], which were combined prior to inclusion in meta-analyses and are described on page 3 of the supplementary material.…”

“…cholesterol or glucose) were taken in a fasting state in all studies except two [11,16]. The timing of each outcome measurement in relation to the exercise test varied between studies (Table S2, http://links.lww.com/ HJH/B732 pages [10][11][12][13][14]. All studies that measured aortic pulse wave velocity used tonometry, while flow-mediated dilation was measured using ultrasound.…”

“…Whether the blood pressure decrease or the distensibility increase has a preceding role in the WW decrease remains an interesting question, although both should have comparable clinical consequences: Lowering the arterial elasticity module (thus increasing distensibility) can decrease the cardiac postcharge and consequently improve cardiac efficiency. In elderly patients, there is a significant inverse correlation between PWV and the physical performance of the patient during exercise (26). This relationship between arterial distensibility and physical working capacity was also demonstrated in young men (9).…”
