    Morning Blood Pressure Surge Is Associated with Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in Prehypertensive Patients
    (2017) Alpaydin, Sertac; Turan, Yasar; Caliskan, Mustafa; Caliskan, Zuhal; Aksu, Feyza; Ozyildirim, Serhan; Buyukterzi, Zafer; Kostek, Osman; Muderrisoglu, Haldun; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9635-6313; 28272109; AAG-8233-2020
    Objective Morning blood pressure (BP) surge (MBPS) is defined as an excessive increase in the morning BP from the lowest systolic BP during sleep and is reported as a risk factor for cardiovascular events in current clinical studies. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between MBPS and carotid intima-media thickness (C-IMT) in prehypertensive patients. Patients and methods We evaluated the association between the rate of BP variation derived from ambulatory BP monitoring and C-IMT in patients with prehypertension. Results One hundred and seventy patients with prehypertension were included in the study. All office BP measurements and ambulatory 24-h, day-time, and night-time measurements were similar between each group. C-IMT [0.60 (range: 0.57-0.65) vs. 0.55 (range: 0.50-0.60) cm; P < 0.001] and the mean platelet volume [8.7 (range: 7.9-9.1) vs. 7.9 (range: 7.3-8.8) fl; P = 0.002] were significantly higher in the greater MBPS group than the lower group. In multivariate analysis, male sex [odds ratio (OR): 2.271, confidence interval (CI): 1.011-5.100, P = 0.047], greater MBPS (OR: 8.474, CI: 3.623-19.608, P < 0.001), and elevated mean platelet volume levels (OR: 3.359, CI: 1.978-5.705, P < 0.001) were found to be independent predictors of greater C-IMT in prehypertensive patients. Conclusion Our study suggests that greater MBPS is associated independently with C-IMT in prehypertensive patients. Copyright (C) 2017 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved.

    Aortic arch calcification: a novel parameter for prediction of masked hypertension
    (2021) Akbay, Ertan; Coner, Ali; Akinci, Sinan; Adar, Adem; Cakan, Fahri; Muderrisoglu, Haldun; 0000-0002-9146-0621; 0000-0002-5711-8873; 0000-0001-5250-5404; 0000-0002-5427-3480; 33734125; AAD-5479-2021; ABD-7321-2021; AAD-5564-2021; GPT-4057-2022
    Background Masked hypertension is directly related to increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality but remains underdiagnosed in clinical practice. The aim of the study was to search the role of aortic arch calcification (AAC) in the diagnosis of masked hypertension. Methods and results Among the patients who underwent ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in our clinic, those with office blood pressure (OBP) <140/90 mmHg were included in the study population. According to OBP, they were divided into two groups as normal (<130/85 mmHg) and high normal (130-139/85-89 mmHg) OBP groups. Subjects were also investigated for the presence of masked hypertension with ABPM and searched in masked hypertension and control groups. Masked hypertension was defined as in the latest 2017 ACC/AHA Hypertension guideline and was diagnosed as the daytime BP >= 135/85 mmHg and nighttime BP >= 120/70 mmHg. AAC was evaluated on direct X-ray telecardiography. Diagnosis of masked hypertension was searched depending on the presence of AAC and OBP measurements as well. A total of 216 volunteers were involved in the study [mean age 45.2 +/- 12.2 years; female gender 120 (55.5%)]. One hundred ten volunteers (50.9%) had masked hypertension according to the ABPM. AAC was significantly more common in the masked hypertension group (44.5% vs. 26.4%) (P = 0.005). AAC had a positive predictive value of 79% in those with high normal OBP in the diagnosis of masked hypertension, and also AAC had a negative predictive value of 74% in those with normal OBP. Conclusion AAC can be used as a reliable diagnostic tool to exclude and predict masked hypertension during office examination.
