Abstract
Objective: to evaluate the incidence and severity of thoracic aortic calcification, the relationship with endothelial dysfunction and fibroblast growth factor in patients with resistant arterial hypertension.
Materials and methods: the study involved 92 patients with resistant hypertension. Daily monitoring of blood pressure (ABPM) was performed, the functional state of the endothelium was assessed in a sample with reactive hyperemia, the calcium index (CI) of the thoracic aorta was determined using MSCT, and the serum level of FGF-23 was determined using enzyme immunoassay.
Results: based on ABPM, patients were divided into groups 1st-controlled (n=44) and 2nd-uncontrolled (n=48) resistant AH. In the 2nd group, a more pronounced dysfunction of the endothelium was revealed in the sample with reactive hyperemia and changes in the velocity parameters of blood flow. FGF23 levels and CI were higher in individuals with uncontrolled resistant hypertension. According to the results of correlation-regression analysis, CI was associated with the value of pulse pressure (r=0.49, p=0.007), the duration of hypertension (r=0.68, p=0.04) and the duration of regular antihypertensive therapy (r = −0 .33, p=0.02). FGF- 23 was found to be associated with PA hemodynamic parameters: with Ved (r=0.42, p=0.003), PI (r=0.43, p=0.041) and RI (r=0.46, p=0.025), as well as with CI (r=0.76, p=0.006).
Conclusion: patients with uncontrolled resistant hypertension showed a more pronounced decrease in brachial artery EVR and an increase in vascular resistance indices in the test with reactive hyperemia, which was statistically significantly associated with the level of FGF23. In patients with resistant hypertension, excessive calcification of the thoracic aorta was found according to the results of MSCT. Calcium index values are higher in patients with high pulse BP, longer duration of hypertension and high levels of FGF23.
