Genetic determinants of vascular reactivity

Abstract: Blood pressure is controlled by a complex combination of processes that influence cardiac output and peripheral vascular resistance. Multiple genes potentially influence each parameter involved in the control of blood pressure, and individuals with the same blood pressor level do not necessarily have the same genotype at relevant loci, nor do individuals with the same genotype at particular loci necessarily have the same blood pressure. Nevertheless, pharmacogenetic studies of vascular reactivity will certainl… Show more

“…1) as follows: (1) dysregulation of the sympathetic nervous system causes obesity and dyslipidaemia [11]; (2) dysregulation of lipogenesis and lipoprotein metabolism causes ectopic fat deposition, dyslipidaemia, inflammation and insulin resistance [12][13][14][15]; (3) abnormalities in stress and natriuretic responses and vascular reactivity contribute to hypertension [16,17] Fig. 1 The first component of SEM comprises a factor analysis model, in which closely correlated measured variables (in rectangles) are loaded onto latent factors (in ovals) to give a more precise interpretation.…”

“…Other possibilities include a direct pro-hypertrophic effect of tissue RAAS upregulation or to high myocardial oxygen demands in the high-risk group with a resulting failure to decrease stroke volume. High myocardial oxygen consumption has been previously reported in patients with high-risk RAAS genotypes, in particular the ACE DD genotype, especially during conditions with increased metabolic requirements 37, 32, 38, 39 .…”

“…This raises the point of a potential genetic driver of cerebrovascular response to particular vasopressors. Genetic polymorphisms within adrenoreceptors have been increasingly linked to hypertension and cardiovascular disease [16]. For example, the alpha 2B adrenergic insertion/deletion polymorphism has demonstrated greater degrees of peripheral vasoconstriction when stimulated with an alpha 2 agonist, dexmedetomidine, compared to controls [17].…”

“…Similarly, alterations in the beta 2 adrenoreceptor have been linked to refractory hypertension, related to impaired vasodilatory effects when stimulated. Endothelin-1, angiotensin II, and nitric oxide-cGMP pathway polymorphisms have also been linked to altered adrenergic vascular reactivity and are associated with hypertension [16]. All of the mentioned polymorphisms could contribute to undesired cerebrovascular reactivity to adrenergic stimulation with vasopressor agents.…”
