Influence of Baseline Diastolic Blood Pressure on the Effects of Systolic Blood Pressure Lowering on Cognitive Function in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lowering of systolic blood pressure (SBP) in patients with low diastolic blood pressure (DBP), can further lower DBP. This can potentially decrease cerebral perfusion and cognition. We examined the influence of baseline DBP on the effect of lowering SBP on cognition.

Methods

This is a post hoc analysis of the Memory in Diabetes (MIND) substudy (N = 1,430) of the Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD) study (NCT00000620). Standard neuropsychological tests (Digit Symbol Substitution Test [DSST], Mini-Mental State Examination [MMSE], Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test [RAVLT], and Stroop test) were performed at baseline and months 20 and 40. We compared the effects of intensive (goal SBP <120 mm Hg) vs. standard (goal SBP <140 mm Hg) SBP control on the changes in the 4 test scores from baseline to the averages of months 20 and 40 across the range of baseline DBP using cubic spline terms.

Results

Mean age was 63 ± 6 years, 55% were women and 66% White. Participates with lower baseline DBP were older, had more cardiovascular events and a longer duration of diabetes. There was no difference in the change in DSST (-0.22; 95% CI -0.97, 0.52), MMSE (-0.14; 95% CI -0.34, 0.06), RAVLT (-0.12; 95% CI -0.29, 0.06), and Stroop interference (-0.47; 95% CI -1.76, 0.82) in the intensive vs. standard SBP intervention. There was no interaction between baseline DBP and change in scores with the SBP intervention.

Conclusions

Intensive SBP reduction does not adversely affect cognition, even in those with low baseline DBP.

Project description:The influence of systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) on incident atrial fibrillation (AF) is not well studied among initially healthy, middle-aged women.A total of 34,221 women participating in the Women's Health Study were prospectively followed up for incident AF. The risk of AF across categories of systolic and diastolic BP was compared by use of Cox proportional-hazards models. During 12.4 years of follow-up, 644 incident AF events occurred. Using BP measurements at baseline, we discovered that the long-term risk of AF was significantly increased across categories of systolic and diastolic BP. Multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios for systolic BP categories (<120, 120 to 129, 130 to 139, 140 to 159, and > or =160 mm Hg) were 1.0, 1.00 (95% CI, 0.78 to 1.28), 1.28 (95% CI, 1.00 to 1.63), 1.56 (95% CI, 1.22 to 2.01), and 2.74 (95% CI, 1.77 to 4.22) (P for trend <0.0001). Adjusted hazard ratios across baseline diastolic BP categories (<65, 65 to 74, 75 to 84, 85 to 89, 90 to 94, and > or =95 mm Hg) were 1.0, 1.17 (95% CI, 0.81 to 1.69), 1.18 (95% CI, 0.84 to 1.65), 1.53 (95% CI, 1.05 to 2.23), 1.35 (95% CI, 0.82 to 2.22), and 2.15 (95% CI, 1.21 to 3.84) (P for trend=0.004). When BP changes over time were accounted for in updated models, multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios were 1.0, 1.14 (95% CI, 0.89 to 1.46), 1.37 (95% CI, 1.07 to 1.76), 1.71 (95% CI, 1.33 to 2.21), and 2.21 (95% CI, 1.45 to 3.36) (P for trend <0.0001) for systolic BP categories and 1.0, 1.12 (95% CI, 0.82 to 1.52), 1.13 (95% CI, 0.83 to 1.52), 1.30 (95% CI, 0.89 to 1.88), 1.50 (95% CI, 1.01 to 1.88), and 1.54 (95% CI, 0.75 to 3.14) (P for trend=0.026) for diastolic BP categories.In this large cohort of initially healthy women, BP was strongly associated with incident AF, and systolic BP was a better predictor than diastolic BP. Systolic BP levels within the nonhypertensive range were independently associated with incident AF even after BP changes over time were taken into account.

Project description:Over time, a focus on blood pressure has transferred from diastolic pressure to systolic pressure. Formal analyses of differences in predictive value are scarce. Our goal of the study was whether office SBP adds prognostic information to office DBP and whether both 24-h ambulatory SBP and 24-h ambulatory DBP is specifically important. The authors examined 2097 participants from a population cohort recruited in Copenhagen, Denmark. Cause-specific Cox regression was performed to predict 10-year person-specific absolute risks of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular (CV) events. Also, the time-dependent area under the receiver operator curve (AUC) was utilized to evaluate discriminative ability. The calibration plots of the models (Hosmer-May test) were calculated as well as the Brier score which combines (discrimination and calibration). Adding both 24-h ambulatory SBP and 24-h ambulatory diastolic blood pressure did not significantly increase AUC for CV mortality and CV events. Moreover, adding both office SBP and office DBP did not significantly improve AUC for both CV mortality and CV events. The difference in AUC (95% confidence interval; p-value) was .26% (-.2% to .73%; .27) for 10-year CV mortality and .69% (-.09% to 1.46%; .082) for 10-year risk of CV events. The difference in AUC was .12% (-.2% to .44%; .46) for 10-year CV mortality and .04% (-.35 to .42%; .85) for 10-year risk of CV events. Moreover, for both CV mortality and CV events, office SBP did not improve prognostic information to office DBP. In addition, the Brier scores of office BP in both CV mortality and CV events were .078 and .077, respectively. Furthermore, the Brier scores were .077 and .078 in CV mortality and CV events of 24-h ambulatory. For the average population as those participating in a population survey, the 10-year discriminative ability for long-term predictions of CV death and CV events is not improved by adding systolic to diastolic blood pressure. This finding is found for ambulatory as well as office blood pressure.
