Circadian blood pressure variation in patients with renovascular hypertension or primary aldosteronisn

Abstract: Circadian blood pressure (BP) variation were studied in patients with renovascular hypertension (RVH) and primary aldosteronism (PA). Ambulatory BP (ABP) was monitored every 5 min for 24 hrs in a ward setting in 23 patients with PA and 17 patients with RVH (13 patients with unilateral renal arterial stenosis and 4 with bilateral stenosis). In patients with RVH, ABP was monitored before and after treatment with a converting enzyme inhibitor or percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. Plasma renin activity (PRA) w… Show more

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] However, these observations are of limited value because either a small number of studied subjects have been used in previous reports (especially in the case of pheochromocytoma) or controversial results have been published regarding the circadian BP pattern in primary aldosteronism and also in pheochromocytoma. 1,2,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Until now, no study has been focused on differences in diurnal BP variations between the steroid-and catecholamine-induced hypertension.…”

“…[3][4][5] For example, autonomic failure, 6 Shy-Drager syndromes, 7 catecholamine excess states, 8 chronic renal failure, 9 Cushing's syndrome, 10 and diabetes mellitus 11 are all associated with an attenuation of the nocturnal BP decline. However, there are conflicting reports 8,[12][13][14][15][16][17] on whether patients with primary hyperaldosteronism have a normal circadian BP profile.…”

“…20,31-33 PA is also well known as a typical form of sodium-sensitive secondary hypertension. 34 Several groups have described a disturbed circadian rhythm of BP in PA, 20,35 while, in contrast, other reports showed that the circadian rhythm of BP was unchanged in PA. [36][37][38] However, many of these reports 20,35,36,38 included patients with PA that was caused by adenoma as well as PA caused by idiopathic hyperaldosteronism, and some of the reports 20,36,38 studied PA patients who were taking antihypertensive drugs. We studied eight patients with PA caused by unilateral adenoma (Conn's syndrome), and found no nocturnal fall in BP (158 Ϯ 24/95 Ϯ 11 mmHg during daytime vs 158 Ϯ 21/95 Ϯ 10 mmHg during night-time [systolic/diastolic BP, mean Ϯ SD].…”
