▼ Poor sleep plays an important role in the prevalence of hypertension. It increases the prevalence rate to 60%. It is thought that sleep regulates stress hormones and helps nervous system. Overtime, lack of sleep hurt the body ability to regulate stress hormones, leading to high blood pressure. The night time dosing of blood pressure lowering drugs have yielded positive results. Scholars have rarely investigated the relationship between night time dosing of diuretics and the quality of sleep. The study aimed at evaluating quality and duration of sleep while on night time dosing of diuretics and determine the commonly used blood pressure lowering medication at University Teaching Hospital. Methods: The sample consisted of 43 patients with hypertension and on diuretic, 25 of whom were taking their medication in the evening at 10 PM and 18 were in the 10 AM dosing schedule. The BP was measured with cuff sphygmomanometer at enrolment and follow-ups. The quality of sleep was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score while the duration of sleep was measured with Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) score at enrolment and follow-ups. A PSQI score of less than 5 indicated good sleeps while an ESS score of 1-6 as a good duration of sleep. Results: Overall, 43 were included in the analysis. The 10AM group had 18 (41.8%), while the 10PM group had 25 (58.2%) at enrolment. The study recruited more women (72.0%) and the majority were on hydrochlorothiazide and amiloride combination (72.0%). The 10PM dosing showed significant differences in quality of sleep with p-value of 0.010 at 12 weeks follow-up. The duration of sleep did not show significant differences between the groups with p-value of 0.215. The blood pressure lowering was significant in the 10PM group with p-value of 0.020 at 12 weeks follow-up. Conclusions: The study suggested that the 10PM dosing of diuretics in hypertensive patients and the diuretic effect does not affect the quality and duration of sleep. Further, 10PM dosing lowers the blood pressure significantly compared with 10AM.

▼ Dietary flaxseed is a Manitoban crop rich in the n3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid, fibre and antioxidant lignans. Addition of flaxseed to the diet decreased brachial blood pressure in patients with hypertension and peripheral artery disease over one year (n=110). With the addition of flaxseed to standard of care, 21% of patients improved from blood pressure above goal (>140/90 mmHg) to blood pressure within goal (<140/90 mmHg). Dietary flaxseed may have induced these anti-hypertensive effects through the reduction of vascular constriction and inflammation. Healthy older adults, who consumed flaxseed every day for 4 weeks, exhibited significantly decreased concentrations of plasma pro-inflammatory oxylipins such as 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid and trihydroxyoctadecenoic acid. In patients with hypertension and peripheral artery disease, flaxseed consumption for 1 year significantly decreased plasma oxylipins that are responsible for propagating inflammation and vascular constriction. The oxylipins that decreased in the flaxseed group were all produced by the same enzyme, soluble epoxide hydrolase. Alpha-linolenic acid decreased soluble epoxide hydrolase activity in an activity assay. Thus, flaxseed may exert its anti-hypertensive effects through an inhibition of soluble epoxide hydrolase by alpha-linolenic acid. Flaxseed also induced a significant decrease in central aortic blood pressure without cardiac or arterial elasticity involvement as measured by pulse wave analysis. Some of the same oxylipins that decreased with flaxseed consumption were significantly associated with higher central aortic blood pressure and a higher prevalence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in patients with peripheral artery disease. Every 1 nM increase in plasma 16-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid increased the odds of a stroke by 55-fold, thus indicating the potential of particular oxylipins to act as diagnostic markers or therapeutic targets. New research is currently investigating if dietary flaxseed can lower blood pressure and prevent the need for anti-hypertensive medications in those newly diagnosed with hypertension. The implications of this research may change how standard of care is implemented for patients with hypertension and cardiovascular disease. The goal is to offer patients an additional effective strategy beyond anti-hypertensive medications for the management of hypertension in order to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events and to improve patient care and quality of life.

▼ In recent years, it has been recognised that reactive oxygen species play an important role in the pathophysiology of hypertension. Consequently, tethering an additional antioxidant pharmacophore to a conventional antihypertensive might generate a multipotent compound with improved blood pressure lowering ability. Sartans (selective AT1 receptor antagonist) are known to be the most direct and widely used class of antihypertensives that antagonise the vasoconstrictive angiotensin II at the AT1 receptor. Nitroxides, on the other hand, due to their ability to scavenge free radicals, are able to protect against oxidative damage in biological systems. It was therefore proposed that incorporating a nitroxide into a sartan would generate a dual-acting compound with both antihypertensive and antioxidant activity. Initial work was directed towards the generation of a series of nitroxide analogues 43, 44 and 82-87 of milfasartan. This approach involved reacting a series of differently substituted pyrimidones (49, 96-98) with two (bromomethyl) nitroxides (43 and 44). Furthermore, in order to investigate whether the N-O• moiety plays a role in interacting with the AT1 receptor, nitroxide analogue 43 of milfasartan was reduced to its amine derivative 114. Also prepared were nitroxide analogues 122 and 123 of eprosartan in which the decisive synthetic transformation comprised of an aldol condensation between imidazole 126 and either nitroxide 139 or 149. The syntheses of the nitroxide derivatives 158 and 159 of losartan then completed the collection of nitroxide-sartan analogues. The losartan analogues 158 and 159 were obtained via Steglich esterification between the protected losartan 156 and nitroxides 61 and 72. Pharmacological evaluations have suggested that both nitroxide analogues 43 and 44 of milfasartan display excellent AT1 receptor antagonist activities. Results from the CHO cell assays also suggested that the N-O• moiety on the nitroxide-containing sartans might play a role in enhancing the compounds’ ability to interact with the AT1 receptor. In addition, results from both the in vitro and in vivo assays have demonstrated that nitroxide-containing sartan 44, in particular, exhibited promising antioxidant, protection against vascular injury and cardioprotective properties. The AT1 receptor antagonism potencies of nitroxide-containing sartan 122/123 and 158/159 on the other hand, were found to be lower than their parent eprosartan (16) and losartan (8), respectively.

▼ Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally. These usually have two main types of risk factors namely modifiable risk factors and non-modifiable risk factors. Among these, hypertension is the primary risk factor. Accurate noninvasive monitoring of hypertension in high risk patients is therefore essential in order to tackle or prevent their cardiovascular diseases. In terms of hemodynamics, increased vascular stiffness has been recognized as the main contributing factor to hypertension. This leads to the observed increase in pressure pulse propagation velocity, or pulse wave velocity, in conduit arteries. Thus, a method that can afford continuous noninvasive monitoring of vascular stiffness will be clinically desirable. To achieve this, the current investigation provides a new method of application of a photoplethysmograph (PPG) that employs light emitting diodes of visible wavelengths coupled with new ambient light detectors for optimal recording of propagating pulses. PPG sensors are placed at two different superficial arterial sites (Dual PPG) for monitoring pulse transit time (PTT) and hence pulse wave velocity (PWV) in patients. Data were simultaneously recorded in a human model, sampled by means of a Biopac System and selective filtering was applied to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio. Vascular stiffness is obtained as elastic modulus through the Moens-Korteweg formula. Interventions were imposed to observe induced changes in vascular stiffness. Results show that our current design is accurate for continuous monitoring of vascular stiffness changes. Measured pulse wave velocities agree well with clinically reported values for different arterial sites, such as ear lobe artery to radial artery and brachial artery to index finger artery. The light-weight, low cost, continuous and noninvasive PPG design can be used for future routine screening of vascular stiffness. This can be used to predict hypertension, its severity in terms of structural changes, and potential evaluation of therapeutic efficacy of anti-hypertensive drugs in hypertensives.

▼ In China stroke is now the leading cause of death. Because of the country's huge population, the medical approach to hypertension is proving expensive. It is also not very effective. Population-based primary prevention of hypertension would be cheaper and probably more effective. Based on the 1991 WHO/ISH statement on environmental factors and hypertension, and the distribution of those factors in Chinese society, we assume that: 1. In the genesis of essential hypertension in Chinese society, a high sodium — low potassium diet could be a fundamental environmental factor. Salt-induced hypertension could be a crucial contributor to the total occurrence of essential hypertension. 2. Reducing sodium intake, increasing potassium intake and reversing the existing high Na/K ratio to a desirable level (i.e. Na/K 1.0) should greatly assist in preventing essential hypertension in China. This thesis describes a preliminary trial undertaken in 1991-92 to test the feasibility of a proposed study in primary prevention of hypertension. Several hypotheses were tested. It was thought that a salt-free diet would modify and maintain users' urinary sodium and potassium excretion in the range of the Recommended Dietary Intakes (RDI) (adjusted for body weight) and keep the urinary Na/K ratio at 1.00. In areas prone to Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD) iodised rice was expected to take the place of iodised salt. It was expected that the new diet would cause no harmful physical and/or psychological problems and would be accepted and maintained voluntarily by the users after the trial. A total of 140 students aged 17-23 years joined the trial and 70 (about 20 females and 50 males) dropped out within the first month. The other 70 (26 females and 44 males) completed the trial. The trial procedures brought urinary sodium excretions down to the RDI for Australia (adjusted for body weight). Urinary Na/K ratios were brought down from 7.3 and maintained on about 1.3. Urinary iodine analyses showed the iodine supplement to be effective. With potassium supplementation urinary potassium excretions in the diet group were significantly higher than in the control group, however the overall average level did not meet the adjusted RDI. The trial also showed a gender difference in urinary electrolyte excretion opposite to that previously reported (more sodium in females) and unreported side effects including menstrual disorders and increased muscle cramping. The new diet was not positively accepted by the majority of the diet group and was difficult to maintain. In spite of dietary, managemental, cultural, and socio-economic difficulties, the author believes that the application of sodium restriction and potassium supplement to primary prevention of hypertension in Chinese society is a possible strategy. However people's habits and tastes would prove severe obstacles requiring the arts of persuasion.

▼ Glycine, a lipophilic non-essential amino acid biosynthesized from L-serine, L-alanine and L-threonine, plays a role in the biosynthesis of proteins, nucleotides, and glutathione. It is a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system and acts as a co-agonist at the N-methyl-D aspartate (NMDA) receptor. Oral administration of glycine is helpful in the management of schizophrenia. While long-term oral treatment with glycine is considered to exert a cardio-vascular protective role by overcoming endothelial dysfunction and oxidative stress, there are no systematic studies examining the cardiovascular effects of glycine. Recently, we showed that the precursor/metabolite of glycine, L-serine, evoked endothelium-dependent vasodilatation in rat mesenteric arterioles. Acute intravenous administration of L-serine produced a rapid, dose-dependent fall in blood pressure (BP) in both normotensive and hypertensive rats. These responses were abolished in the combined presence of the Ca2+ activated small and intermediate conductance K+ channel inhibitors, apamin and Tram-34/charybdotoxin. In contrast, intravenous administration of glycine evoked a fall in BP in normotensive Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats and an elevation of BP in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), and in WKY rats subjected to chronic nitric oxide (NO) synthase (NOS) inhibition by oral treatment with NOS inhibitor, L-NAME (NG-nitro-L-arginine-methylester). Therefore, in vivo and in vitro studies were designed to address the mechanisms that contribute to the opposite effects of glycine in normotensive vs. hypertensive rats. Experiments were performed using 14 weeks old male WKY, chronic L-NAME treated WKY and SHR strains. In vivo studies involved examination of changes in systemic hemodynamic parameters such as mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), total peripheral resistance (TPR) and cardiac output (CO) as well as regional hemodynamic parameters of changes in blood flow and vascular resistance in major organs/tissues following acute intravenous administration of glycine using fluorescent microsphere distribution technique. Parallel complementary in vitro studies were conducted to examine the effects of glycine on changes in basal tone and phenylephrine (PE) constricted tone in aortic rings with endothelium-intact and endothelium-denuded states after isolation from WKY and SHR strains. All these studies were conducted in the presence and absence of two NMDA antagonists, MK-801 and memantine. In normotensive WKY rats, glycine (1 mmol/L) administration decreased MAP (P Advisors/Committee Members: Gopalakrishnan, Venkat, Weber, Lynn, Desai, Kaushik, Sawicki, Greg, Yu, Peter, Richardson, J Steven.

▼ According to the National Center for Health Statistics, African Americans have among the highest rates of hypertension of any race or ethnic type in the world. Thirtyfive percent of African Americans have hypertension, which accounts for 20% of the African American deaths in the United States. This project addresses the question of genetic predisposition and environmental effects on hypertension in a population of African Americans through biological and statistical approaches. The primary objectives of this project are to (1) identify relevant gene(s) associated with hypertension in the population of African Americans by evaluating several candidate genes; (2) to investigate the genetic and environmental effects on hypertension in African Americans. Three Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms(SNPs) were chosen from three primary genes of the renin-angiotensin system. These three SNPs were M235T in the Angiotensinogen (AGT) gene, A-240T in the Angiotensin I Converting Enzyme (ACE) gene, and A44221G in the Angiotensinogen II receptor, subtype 1 (AGTR1) gene. A total of 706 African Americans, including 101 monozygotic twin pairs (MZ twins), 182 dizygotic twin pairs (DZ twins), 31 sibling pairs, and 78 singletons, were interviewed and genotyped at the three genetic loci. There were three steps in this project. Association tests and logistic regression analyses were performed to investigate the association between hypertension status and the three SNPs separately to find the gene(s) associated with high blood pressure in the population of African Americans. Next two general linear mixed models were built to explain the effect of particular relevant gene(s) and the effect of other determining factors on blood pressure in African Americans. Finally structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to estimate the genetic and environmental effects on blood pressure in African Americans. The measured genotype of the relevant gene(s) that had been detected by association tests were added into the traditional SEM with the aim to estimate the effect of particular genetic loci separately from the effect of unmeasured genetic factors and to assess the importance of particular gene(s) relative to the influence of genetic effects in sum.

▼ Background : Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) is an important chronic illness in the African American (AA) community. Elevated Pulmonary Artery Systolic Pressure (PASP) is associated with increased heart failure admissions and mortality. Female sex is an established risk factor for elevated PASP, but the factors contributing to these gender differences are not fully understood. Few studies have examined the gender differences in the prevalence and etiology of elevated PASP and associated clinical outcomes , HF admissions and mortality. Objective : We sought to examine if there are gender related differences in risk factors and clinical outcomes associated with elevated PASP , in subjects enrolled in the JHS ( Jackson Heart Study) cohort. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that relationships between elevated pulmonary artery systolic pressures and associated clinical characteristics and outcomes namely, future HF admissions and mortality, will be significantly different between African American men and women. Design, Setting, And Participants: Data from the Jackson Heart Study, a longitudinal, prospective observational cohort study of heart disease in African American individuals from Jackson, Mississippi, were analyzed. The study participants included self-identified African American individuals with tricuspid regurgitation that is used to estimate PASP on echocardiogram (n = 3286) at the time of first examination (2000-2004). Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis to study the relationship of clinical characteristics with echocardiography-derived PASP. Longitudinal outcomes were all-cause mortality and heart failure admissions. We used linear regression to evaluate the association of elevated PASP and gender. We used Cox proportional hazards models to examine relationship of PASP with clinical outcomes, namely future HF admissions and all-cause mortality. We performed stratified analysis for variables with significant interaction effects with gender. Results: A total of 3286 participants were analyzed in the study. The mean age of the study population was 56.1 ± 12.6 years with 67.5% female. Mean PASP was higher in women than men (Men: 26.8 ± 7.1 mmHg, Women: 28.4 ± 7.4 mmHg, p value < 0.05). The prevalence of PH (PASP ≥ 40 mm Hg) was 5.6%, with higher prevalence in women (Men: 4.0%, Women: 6.4 %, p value < 0.05). Significant gender interaction with PASP was seen with age, BMI, diagnosis of hypertension, systemic pulse pressure and spirometry patterns (p < 0.05). In a fully adjusted model, stratified analyses showed that higher body mass index (BMI) and obstructive and restrictive spirometry patterns were independently associated with PASP in women (p <0.05) but not in men. Also, age and pulse pressure had a stronger association with PASP in women compared to men. Median follow up time for all-cause mortality and incident HF admissions was 9.91 years (Range 0-12.3 years ) and 8 years (Range 0-8 years ), respectively. After adjustment for baseline risk factors , PASP was significantly associated with mortality (adjusted… Advisors/Committee Members: Chowdhary, Gaurav (Advisor), Jankowich, Mathew (Reader).

▼ Hypertension is a growing public health problem in many developing countries including Ethiopia and if left untreated can cause a major risk factor for heart failure, renal failure, stroke and even death. However, its prevention and control has not yet established payable attention. The aim of this study was to assess the main risk factors of hypertension among patients visiting in Adult emergency department of Black lion Specialized Hospital by using risk assessment form that contains 39 structured close-ended questionnaires. It is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted over a period of three months. Participants aged >18 years were recruited using convenience sampling technique and data was collected by face-to-face interview after verbal informed consent. Additionally, weight, height and Blood Pressure (BP) of participants were measure following standard procedures. Hypertension was defined as having BP ≥ 140/90 mmHg or reported use of regular anti-hypertensive medications. Data was collected by investigator assisted with clinical nurses and then entered into a computer using EPI Info version 3.5.1 and exported to SPSS version 21 for analysis. The study data was analyzed by using statistics such as mean, average and percentages. In this study 254 subjects consisting of 159(62.6%) men and 95(37.4%) women had hypertension. In this study from non modifiable risk factors age, gender, ethnicity, family history, and from modifiable risk factors smoking, alcohol drink, excessive salt intake, Khat chewing, DM,BMI, Physical inactivity, and Psychosocial stressors were observed. In which smoking 35(13.8%) and alcoholic 108(42.5%) might be considerable risk factors only seen in men. Moreover, psychological stressful condition, excessive salt food intake, physical inactivity and BMI were the mainly seen modifiable risk factors in both gender. By this study we concluded that more number of male was observed in the risk factors of hypertension than female and as the age is coming increasingly the probability of the magnitude of risk factors also increase in both gender and mostly avoidable risk factors was observed in high magnitude.

▼ Hypertension and coronary artery disease are complex diseases with both environmental and genetic contributions. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have revealed a number of common genetic variants with modest effects on the disease susceptibility. One of the novel genetic variants (SNP rs13107325, C ! T, Ala391Thr) identified in GWASs has been associated with a number of CVD-related traits, including SBP, DBP, HDL-C, body mass index, and schizophrenia. This SNP is located at exon 8 of the solute carrier family 39 member 8 gene (SLC39A8), and results in an amino acid substitution from Alanine to Threonine at amino acid position 391. SLC39A8 was first found to be highly induced by Mycobacterium bovis BCG cell wall and TNF-α. The encoded protein ZIP8 is a divalent cation/bicarbonate cotransporter with different affinities for a number of metal ions. Recent studies revealed the major role of ZIP8 in the uptake of cadmium and manganese. The objective of this project is to investigate whether the Ala391Thr polymorphism has an impact on the structure or function of ZIP8, and the underlying mechanisms responsible for the deleterious cell events associated with cadmium exposure, that over time, may contribute to the development of hypertension. We showed that ZIP8 containing the Ala391 variant resulted in higher intracellular accumulation of Cd2+ at low dose and Zn2+ at physiological concentration. Lower cell proliferation and higher cell death were observed in transfected HEKs and HuVECs exposed to Cd2+. This was accompanied by stronger ERK1/2 and NF-ĸB activation in HEK293 possibly induced by Cd2+ uptake. We also showed some evidence of ZIP8 participation in HDL3-mediated cholesterol efflux, however this needs to be further validated in an improved experimental model. 6" " Bioinformatics analysis suggested a possible structural impact of Ala391Thr on ZIP8 function, which was supported by conservation analysis of the alanine amino acid. Membrane protein structure analysis predicted a shift of an α-helical domain possibly caused by the change of the amino acid hydrophillicity. The secondary structure predicted by the Robetta algorithm based on a similar homologue supported that this structural change may be caused by the Ala391Thr variation. Our data indicate that the amino acid substitution (Ala391Thr) caused by SNP rs13107325 alters the transport activity of ZIP8 on metal ions, leading to differential activation of ERK1/2 and NF-κB pathways, which subsequently results in different levels of cell death on human kidney and endothelial cells. This study sought to provide the preliminary mechanistic explanations for the association of rs1310725 with blood pressure and HDL-C following the GWAS. These observations have demonstrated a promising start for further investigation of SLC39A8 in the context of hypertensive mice or human populations. This may enable further pharmacological studies for the development of a potential therapeutic candidate for hypertension treatment.

▼ Objective: Abundant clinical and epidemiological data suggest that hypertension, or high blood pressure is a disease of high prevalence in industrialized societies, with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Although there are many standard conventional pharmacologic approaches to the control of high blood pressure available, concern about risk versus benefit in the use of antihypertensive drug therapy for patients with mild hypertension leads to the objective of this study. There is an increasing demand and interest in nonpharmacologic interventions and whether or not alternative management of hypertension is safe and effective. Recommendations for some nonpharmacologic approaches to the treatment of hypertension are investigated in this study. The pros and cons of nutritional interventions, exercise and biobehavioral treatments are discussed along with the use of botanical medicine for the safe and effective management and treatment of hypertension without the use of drugs. Basic Procedures: A review of literature on the effectiveness of nonpharmacologic management of hypertension and the adverse effects of long term antihypertensive drugs have been documented in a number of clinical studies, reviews and meta-analyses. For the purpose of this investigation, a systematic search and review of literature were conducted on 3 major online databases: UpToDate, PUBMED and the Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database. A systematic approach was used to search each database using relevant search criteria. Main Findings: Studies suggest that although the majority of patients will require drug therapy, non-pharmacological approaches are preferable if they can be used. Nonpharmacologic recommendations in the treatment of hypertension for which there appear to be sufficient requisite data include weight reduction for the obese, moderate sodium restriction (although this is controversial) and restriction of alcohol, dietary recommendations for healthy living and regular exercise. There is also sufficient evidence that supports the use of traditional botanical medicine for the treatment of cardiovascular disease including hypertension. Principal Conclusions: Non pharmacological management of hypertension has the potential of safely and effectively improving quality of life while avoiding the side effects of conventional treatment which can be life threatening. Despite the need for more studies and additional evidence of relative effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical management of hypertension, naturopathic doctors and most experts feel that healthy lifestyle changes including diet and exercise play one of the most important roles in many susceptible patients in the genesis and maintenance of hypertension. In addition, this investigation highlights the use of 3 potent traditional botanicals—Crateagus, Rauwolfia and Terminalis. Although these plants have been used in the treatment of heart disease for hundreds of years, current research methods shows us they can be utilized effectively in deadly modern day diseases, including…

▼ Hypertension (commonly known as "high blood pressure") is a disorder whose effects - either direct or indirect - are now widely recognized as capable of creating serious health problems in the segment of the population so affected. Estimates of the size of this segment depend on such factors as the criteria employed in the diagnosis of hypertension, but an overall figure of around 10% of the adult population is commonly quoted - along with the observation that the prevalence is greater among blacks, the elderly, and males in general. The major targets of hypertensive damage are the heart, the brain, the kidneys, and the retinae; consequently, heart attack and heart failure, stroke, and kidney failure are common causes of death among these patients. Unfortunately, the cause of the elevated arterial pressure can be "positively" identified in only some eight to twelve percent of all cases seen; the remaining patients are classified as "primary" or "essential" hypertensives. Research involving essential hypertension has been hampered by the complexity of the (as yet) poorly understood hemodynamic mechanisms of the body, and any sort of consensus here seems to be very slow in developing. Meanwhile, the disease is now being treated - upon discovery - with any one or a combination of three basic anti-hypertensive agents, all of which involve inconvenience, expense, and some rather unpleasant side effects. The wide-spread acceptance of these drugs has also had an unhappy effect on the evolution of our understanding of the clinical course of untreated hypertension, since now only the "mildest" cases may be studied in their natural form. Thus, many questions concerning hypertensive disease remain without satisfactory answers; an appreciation of the degree of uncertainty surrounding many of the issues may be had by examining the work of as few as three or four authors on the subject. Some of the unresolved (or only partially settled) issues include: the relative prognostic significance of the various signs and symptoms that are often associated with high blood pressure; the inter-relations that exist among these signs and symptoms; the pattern of change of the various symptoms over time and the relationship of such changes to the patient's outlook; and, finally, the nature and extent of the part played by hypertension within the broader problem of cardiovascular disease in general - and atherosclerosis in particular. Data on 48 male and 50 female primary hypertensives who received essentially no anti-hypertensive drug therapy, and who were followed until death (or for a maximum of ten years) are analyzed in this thesis, with the aim of illuminating the issues raised above - and others as well. Factors such as age, sex, blood pressure (average as well as extreme values), heart, brain, kidney, and retinal symptoms are examined, both in terms of their association with survival time as well as their inter-relations; sex differences and time trends are also explored. The bulk of the exploratory work is done with ordinary…

▼ The Okamoto-Aoki strain of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) is probably the most studied animal model of hypertension. Previous experience from our laboratory indicated that the vascular smooth muscle of the SHR is hyper-reactive to pressor agents in vitro, and that the sensitivity to calcium is also altered in these tissues. Since there is evidence for sodium ion and sodium pump abnormalities in erythrocytes of hypertensive patients and animals, the decision was made to use the erythrocyte membrane as a model for studying calcium-membrane interactions in the SHR. The Ca⁺⁺/Mg⁺⁺ ATPase activities (both high and low affinity) in the erythrocyte membrane from SHR were measured and found to be significantly elevated when compared to those of normotensive controls (WKY). Other erythrocyte membrane enzymes are not different between the two groups. Passive calcium influx into intact erythrocytes at 4°C was examined using ⁴⁵Ca as tracer and a significant increase in the passive permeability to calcium across the SHRs erythrocyte membrane was found when compared to the WKYs. Other abnormalities in the SHR erythrocyte include a reduction in osmotic fragility and increased levels of membrane cholesterol, phosphatidyl choline and sphingomyelin with marginal decreases in phosphatidyl ethanolamine and phosphatidyl serine. These findings indicate that structural and compositional alterations are present in the SHR erythrocyte membrane and these may be related to the increased passive permeability to calcium and the possibly compensatory increase in Ca⁺⁺/Mg⁺⁺ ATPase activity described earlier. Studies on the erythrocyte membranes of DOCA/salt hypertensive (DOCA) rats revealed no major differences in the activities of the membrane enzymes between the DOCA and nephrectomized controls (NC) animals. Furthermore, no difference was observed in passive calcium permeability between the erythrocytes from both groups of animals. Contrary to what was found in the SHR, osmotic fragility of the DOCA erythrocytes is slightly higher than that of NC's at all NaCl concentrations studied. No gross differences in membrane cholesterol and phospholipid profile were detected between the erythrocyte membranes from the two groups of animals'. These findings can be viewed as supportive evidence for the hypothesis that the membrane abnormalities observed in the SHR erythrocyte are probably genetically determined and not a consequence of elevated arterial pressure. In the third model of hypertension studied, rats were given increasing amounts of ethanol in their drinking water over period of 12 weeks, and a mild but significant (approx. 20%) elevation of systolic pressure was .observable beginning at week 4 and persisting through week 12. Urine ion analysis revealed that the ethanol-treated animals have reduced 24 hour urinary output and significant sodium retention. These findings prompted us to study the plasma volume in the animals using ¹⁴C-methyl-Y-globulins as an indicator. The plasma volume of the ethanol-treated animals averaged…
