Abstract:

Objective To investigate the relationship between exercise blood pressure and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1(VCAM-1),soluble intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1(sICAM-1) and flow mediated dilation(FMD) in patients with essential hypertension. Methods Serum levels of VCAM-1 and sICAM-1 were determined in 80 patients with essential hypertension and 80 healthy subjects(healthy control group). The diastolic blood pressure of hypertensive patients(rest group),healthy control group at rest and hypertensive patients after moderate exercise(exercise group) were measured. According to the diastolic blood pressure after exercise,the exercise group was classified into diastolic blood pressure >11.97 kPa(90 mmHg) and diastolic blood pressure≤11.97 kPa(90 mmHg) groups. Pearson correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between various indicators. Results The levels of serum VCAM-1 and sICAM-1 in rest group were higher than those in healthy control group(P<0.05). Serum VCAM-1 level in exercise group was higher than that in rest group(P<0.01). Serum VCAM-1 and sICAM-1 in exercise group with diastolic blood pressure >11.97 kPa were higher than those with diastolic blood pressure ≤11.97 kPa(P<0.01). The diastolic blood pressure represented FMD. The healthy control group,rest group and exercise group had negative correlations between VCAM-1 level and FMD for diastolic blood pressure≤11.97 kPa(r values were -0.24,-0.63 and -0.52,respectively,P<0.05). In exercise group,there was no correlation between VCAM-1 level and FMD in patients >11.97 kPa(r=-0.34,P>0.05). The level of sICAM-1 in healthy control group was positively correlated with FMD(r=0.41,P<0.01). There was no correlation between the level of sICAM-1 and FMD in the other groups(P>0.05). Conclusions Exercise blood pressure in patients with hypertension is closely related to VCAM-1,sICAM-1 and FMD.
