Item Determinants of reverse dipping blood pressure in normotensive, non-diabetic population with an office measurement below 130/85mmHg(2021) Coner, Ali; Akbay, Ertan; Akinci, Sinan; Ozyildiz, Gokhan; Genctoy, Gultekin; Muderrisoglu, Haldun; 0000-0002-5711-8873; 0000-0002-9146-0621; 0000-0001-5250-5404; 0000-0002-5145-2280; 34151642; ABD-7321-2021; AAD-5479-2021; AAD-5564-2021; AAJ-5551-2021Objective: The role of dipping blood pressure pattern in normotensives is unclear. The study aims to search the circadian blood pressure rhythm and the clinical determinants related to reverse dipping pattern in a strictly selected, normotensive population. Methods: The study population was divided into three groups depending on the nocturnal dipping pattern as dipping, non-dipping, and reverse dipping. Basal clinical characteristics, anthropometric measurements, and spot urine samples from the first-morning void were collected. Clinical determinants related to the presence of reverse dipping pattern were tested by the Multiple Binary Logistic Regression analysis. Results: A total of 233 participants were involved in the study population (median age 45 years [40-50]). Dipping pattern was detected in 55.4%, non-dipping pattern in 33.0%, and reverse dipping pattern in 11.6% of the study population. There was no difference between the groups in terms of basal clinical features. Albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) (p < .001) and hs-CRP levels (p = .006) were also statistically significant across the groups. ACR (HR: 1.195, 95% CI: 1.067-1.338, p = .002) and hs-CRP (HR: 2.438, 95% CI: 1.023-5.808, p = .044) were found to be related to the presence of reverse dipping blood pressure pattern. Conclusions: The absence of nocturnal physiological dipping is seen at a remarkable rate in the normotensive Turkish population. ACR and hs-CRP are the clinical determinants related to the presence of reverse dipping blood pressure pattern.Item Assessment of vascular inflammation and subclinical nephropathy in exaggerated blood pressure response to exercise test(2019) Coner, Ali; Genctoy, Gultekin; Akinci, Sinan; Altin, Cihan; Muderrisoglu, Haldun; 0000-0002-9635-6313; 30969228; AAG-8233-2020Objectives Exaggerated blood pressure response (EBPR) to exercise tests is an additional cardiovascular risk factor and predictor of future development of hypertension. However, there are conflicting data on the diagnostic threshold of EBPR and its clinical importance in kidney disease. The aim of this study was to investigate vascular inflammation and subclinical nephropathy in otherwise healthy volunteers with EBPR. Patients and methods The study included 170 middle-aged, healthy volunteers (mean age: 43.3 +/- 6.9; range: 35-65 years: 100 men and 70 women). Participants performed a treadmill exercise test until they reached their age-adjusted maximum heart rate and were divided into EBPR and normal/physiological blood pressure response groups. Before exercise tests, serum high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio were measured to evaluate vascular inflammation and subclinical nephropathy, respectively. Anthropometrical measurements, fasting serum glucose, fasting lipid profile, and the full blood count of participants were also evaluated. Results EBPR was detected in 31 (18.2%) participants. Hs-CRP levels (1.03 vs. 0.46 mg/l) (P<0.001) and albumin-to-creatinine ratio levels (6.90 vs. 5.22 mg/g) (P=0.002) were higher in the EBPR group. BMI, abdominal obesity, and hs-CRP levels were found to be related to increased development of EBPR. Conclusion EBPR is an overlooked clinical finding during exercise tests and should be evaluated in apparently healthy, middle-aged populations for the early detection of possible subclinical nephropathy.
