Background: The magnitude and duration of the hypotensive effect of exercise may be influence by the type of exercise performed. The aim of the present study was to compare systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure for 24 hours after a single session of continuous aerobic (CA), interval aerobic (IA), resistance (RE) exercise and control (C), among hypertensive older women under treatment.

Methods: The study was conducted on 30 women aged 67.5±5.2 years participating in all sessions applied in random order. After each session, blood pressure was obtained by an oscillometric device and they were submitted to 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.

Results: Immediately after the sessions, a lower SBP value was observed in groups CA and IA compared to groups C and RE. During the 24 hours after sessions, there was a greater reduction of SBP after IA than after other types of exercise, with the reduction after RE being greater than after CA and C (P<0.01). In wakefulness period, the reduction of SBP after IA was more intensive, and, during sleep, IA and RE promoted greater reductions of SBP, with reduction of DBP only after RE (P<0.01).

Conclusions: Immediately after the exercise sessions there was a fall in SBP only after aerobic exercises. However, aerobic exercise in the interval mode and RE were more effective in reducing BP over a period of 24 hours.

Background: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the leading surgically treatable cause of hypertension, with adrenalectomy as the definitive treatment for unilateral PA (UPA). However, some patients have persistent hypertension after surgery. This study aims to identify preoperative factors affecting surgical outcomes and develop a predictive model for postoperative hypertension resolution.

Aging and sex differences in salt sensitivity of blood pressure.

Clin Sci (Lond)

Department of Medicine, Division of Clinical Pharmacology, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN, U.S.A.

Salt sensitivity of blood pressure (SSBP) is a complex physiological trait characterized by changes in blood pressure in response to dietary salt intake. Aging introduces an additional layer of complexity to the pathophysiology of SSBP, with mitochondrial dysfunction, epigenetic modifications, and alterations in gut microbiota emerging as critical factors. Despite advancements in understanding these mechanisms, the processes driving increased salt sensitivity with age and their differential impacts across sexes remain unclear.

Glycocalyx disruption, endothelial dysfunction and vascular remodeling as underlying mechanisms and treatment targets of chronic venous disease.

The glycocalyx is an essential structural and functional component of endothelial cells. Extensive hemodynamic changes cause endothelial glycocalyx disruption and vascular dysfunction, leading to multiple arterial and venous disorders. Chronic venous disease (CVD) is a common disorder of the lower extremities with major health and socio-economic implications, but complex pathophysiology.
