223: Gender peculiarities of pulse pressure and heartbeat rate in patients with arterial hypertension depending on age and presence of diabetes mellitus

Abstract

Resting heartbeat rate (HR) is an independent predictor of mortality especially in patients with arterial hypertension (AH) and coronary artery disease. Pulse pressure (PP) is a marker of artery stiffness. The peculiarities of PP and HR dynamics were studied in 70 men and 68 women of the young age - 1st group (mean age: m - 38,4 + 4,2 years; w - 39,2 + 3,8 years) as well as in middle age - the 2nd group (mean age: m - 56,8 + 6,4 years; w - 54,2 + 5,2 years) with AH of 2nd stage along with the presence or absence of subcompensated (HbA1c - 7,3 + 0,8%) diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM-2). Increase of PP and HR in patients with AH depends on gender, age and presence of DM-2. The data of our research show the highest values of PP and HR in women of middle age with DM-2. Women with AH and DM-2 have more significant increase of PP and HR than men along with ageing. Such changes raise cardiovascular risk and demand control as soon as possible.Table – Abstract 223.Empty CellAbsent DM (n=71)Empty CellPresent DM-2 (n=69)Empty Cellmen (n=34)Empty Cellwomen (n=37)Empty Cellmen (n=36)Empty Cellwomen (n=31)Empty CellEmpty Cell1st group (n=16)2nd group (n=18)1st group (n=18)2nd group (n=19)1st group (n=18)2nd group (n=18)2nd group (n=15)2nd group (n=16)Pulse pressure (mmHg)42,3+2,744,3+2,740,8+3,348,5+2,448,2+3,152,3+3,144,1+2,758,2+2,7Heartbeat rate (beats/min)72,4+1,474,3+2,770,8+2,374,8+3,476,2+2,482,2+2,676,8+3,188,3+3,2 Table – Abstract 223.
