1 Arterial stiffness and central BP as goals for antihypertensive therapy in pre- and elderly Piotr Jankowski I Department of Cardiology and Hypertension CM UJ, Kraków, Poland piotrjankowski@interia.pl Vienna,

2 Outline Some pathophysiology Prognostic value of arterial stiffness and central BP 24-hour monitoring of central BP Modification od arterial stiffness and central BP

3 Some pathophysiology

4 The concept of Windkessel Left ventricle Aorta

5 The concept of Windkessel Windkessel literally means air chamber and is a German translation of a concept described by Stephen Hales, who linked the effect of the elastic arteries in dampening the arterial pulse to that of an air chamber in 18th century fire engines

6 Arterial stiffness CV risk Increases systolic and decreases diastolic BP. Increases pulsatile component of central BP. Damages microvasculature leading to coronary slow flow, kidney failure, etc. Induces atherosclerosis development

7 Forces acting on the vessel wall

8 Forces acting on the vessel wall Wall Circumferential tension Blood pressure Wall stress = Pr/h

9 Ruptured coronary plaque V. Fuster, JACC 2005.

14 In the arterial system, the secondary wave returns and interacts with the wave that created it, with a similar effect on the curve as seen on the bottom wave of the diagram.

61 TAKE HOME MESSAGE (1) Arterial stiffness increases pulsatile load leading to increase in (central) pulse pressure and subsequently to target organ damage and reduced survival.

62 TAKE HOME MESSAGE (2) BP is not constant along the arterial tree. Conventional BP measurements may not detect significant changes of central BP.

63 TAKE HOME MESSAGE (3) 24-hour profile of central hemodynamics differs according to age.

64 TAKE HOME MESSAGE (4) Any intervention decreasing BP reduces arterial stiffness. Also in elderly.

65 TAKE HOME MESSAGE (5) CV drugs may influence brachial and central BP differentially.
