    Depression and anxiety are associated with abnormal nocturnal blood pressure fall in hypertensive patients

    Background: Previous studies have shown that depression and anxiety were independent risk factors for hypertension. Non-dipper hypertension is associated with higher cardiovascular mortality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the anxiety and depression scores in patients with dipper and non-dipper hypertension. Methods: The study sample consisted of 153 hypertensive patients. All patients underwent 24-h blood pressure monitoring. Patients were classified into two groups according to their dipper or non-dipper hypertension status. We evaluated results of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale between groups. Results: Seventy-eight patients (38 male, mean age: 51.6 +/- 12.5 years) had dipper hypertension while 75 patients (27 male, mean age: 55.4 +/- 14.1 years) had non-dipper hypertension (p = 0.141, 0.072, respectively). Clinical characteristics were similar for both groups. Patients with non-dipper hypertension had significantly higher depression and anxiety scores compared to patients with dipper hypertension. Dipper and non-dipper status significantly correlated with anxiety (p: 0.025, r: 0.181) and depression score (p: 0.001, r: 0.255). In univariate analysis, smoking, alcohol usage, presence of diabetes, hyperlipidemia, anxiety score >8 and depression score >7 were predictors of dipper versus non-dipper status. In multivariate logistic regression analyses only depression score 47 was independent predictor of dipper versus non-dipper status (odds ratio: 2.74, confidence intervals: 1.41-5.37). A depression score of 7 or higher predicted non-dipper status with a sensitivity of 62.7% and specificity of 62.8%. Conclusion: Non-dipper patients have significantly higher anxiety and depression scores compared to dipper patients. Evaluation of anxiety and depression in patients with hypertension might help to detect non-dipper group and hence guide for better management.

    Severity of Depression and Anxiety Symptoms is Associated with Increased Arterial Stiffness in Depressive Disorder Patients Undergoing Psychiatric Treatment
    (KURE ILETISIM GRUBU A S, 2016-09) SARI, İBRAHİM; Yanartas, Omer; Sunbul, Murat; Durmus, Erdal; Kivrak, Tarik; Senkal, Zeynep; Subasi, Nilufer; Karaer, Gulhan; Ergun, Serhat; Sari, Ibrahim; Sayar, Kemal
    Objective: Depression and anxiety are associated with both subdinical and clinical cardiovascular disease. Endothelial dysfunction, atherosclerosis, and inflammation are some of the underlying mechanisms. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (Alx) are noninvasive markers for evaluation of arterial stiffness. The aim of this study was to examine the association between arterial stiffness parameters and depression/anxiety scores in depressive patients undergoing psychiatric treatment. Methods: The study population consisted of 30 patients with depression undergoing psychiatric treatment at least 4 weeks, and 25 age and gender matched healthy controls. Depression and anxiety were assessed by self-reported scales, including the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Measurements of arterial stiffness parameters were performed by using a Mobil-O-Graph arteriograph system, which detects signals from the brachial artery. Results: Baseline characteristics and clinical data were similar between the two groups. BDI and BAI scores were statistically significantly higher in patients with depression (p<0.001, p<0.01). PWV and Alx were statistically significantly higher in patients with depression compared to controls (6.40 +/- 1.31 m/s vs 5.51 +/- 0.41 m/s and 26.9 +/- 12.1 % vs 17.4 +/- 11.3 %, p=0.001, p=0.004, respectively). PWV and Alx positively, mildly and statistically significantly correlated with BDI and BAI scores. Conclusion: Arterial stiffness parameters were statistically significantly higher in depressive patients receiving antidepressant treatment. Moreover, arterial stiffness parameters statistically significantly correlated with BDI and BAI. Assessment of arterial stiffness parameters may be useful for early detection of cardiovascular deterioration in depressive patients undergoing antidepressant treatment.

    Effect of acute sleep deprivation on heart rate recovery in healthy young adults
    (SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2015) ÇİNÇİN, AHMET ALTUĞ; Cincin, Altug; Sari, Ibrahim; Oguz, Mustafa; Sert, Sena; Bozbay, Mehmet; Atas, Halil; Ozben, Beste; Tigen, Kursat; Basaran, Yelda
    Sleep deprivation (SD) is known to be associated with increased incidence of adverse cardiovascular events, but underlying pathophysiological mechanism has not been clearly demonstrated. Autonomic nervous system plays an important role in the regulation of cardiovascular function, and impairment in this system is associated with increased cardiovascular mortality. The aim of the current study was to investigate the effect of acute SD on autonomic regulation of cardiac function by determining heart rate recovery (HRR). Twenty-one healthy security officers and nine nurses (mean age 33.25 +/- 8.18) were evaluated. Treadmill exercise test was applied once after a night with regular sleep and once after a night shift in hospital. The HRR was calculated as the reduction in heart rate from peak exercise to the 30th second (HRR30), 1st minute (HRR1), 2nd minute (HRR2), 3rd minute (HRR3), and 5th minute (HRR5). The change in blood pressure (BP) measurements was also determined. Exercise capacity of individuals with SD was significantly lower (10.96 +/- 1.01 vs. 11.71 +/- 1.30 metabolic equivalent task (MET)s; p = 0.002), and peak systolic BP was significantly higher (173.8 +/- 16.3 vs. 166.2 +/- 9.9; p = 0.019). There was a signicant difference in HRR30 (12.74 +/- 6.19 vs. 17.66 +/- 5.46; p = 0.003) and HRR1 (31 +/- 6.49 vs. 36.10 +/- 7.78; p = 0.004). The ratio of these indices to peak HR was also significantly lower with SD (HRR%(30) 8.04 +/- 4.26 vs. 10.19 +/- 3.21; p = 0.025 and HRR%(1): 18.66 +/- 4.43 vs. 20.98 +/- 4.72; p = 0.013). The difference in other indices of HRR was not significant. Our findings suggest that SD blunts cardiovascular autonomic response, and consequences of this relation might be more pronounced in subjects who are exposed to sleeplessness regularly or in subjects with baseline cardiovascular disease.
