Abstract

Objective: Few studies have investigated whether the association between home blood pressure (BP) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) events is different according to prediabetes and diabetes populations. The main purpose of this study is to clarify the impact of home BP and office BP on CVD events in prediabetes and diabetes. Design and method: We used the database of the J-HOP (Japan Morning Surge-Home Blood Pressure) study, which enrolled 4,310 patients having at least one cardiovascular risk. We classified the patients with a self-reported clinical history of a physician's diagnosis, using of medication of diabetes mellitus, a fasting plasma glucose greater than or equal to 126 mg/dL, a casual plasma glucose level greater than or equal to 200 mg/dL or hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c;NGSP) greater than or equal to 6.5 % as diabetes (n = 1,034), those with HbA1c 5.7–6.4 % as prediabetes (n = 1,167), and the remaining patients as the patients with normal glucose metabolism (NGM) (n = 2,024). Outcome was measured against composite CVD outcome (first occurrence of coronary artery disease, stroke and heart failure). Results: During a median 6.2 ± 3.8 year follow-up, 259 CVD events occurred. Prediabetes was a risk of CVD events (Unadjusted Hazard ratios [uHR],1.43; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.05–1.95) and this association was followed by diabetes (uHR, 2.13; 95%CI, 1.59–2.85) compared to NGM. In NGM group, the adjusted HR expressing the risk of composite CVD events, were 1.15 (95%CI, 1.01–1.31) and 1.18 (95%CI, 1.03–1.36), 1.01(95%CI, 0.88–1.15) per 10 mmHg increase of morning and evening home systolic BP (SBP), office SBP, respectively. In diabetes, increased home SBP as a risk of composite CVD events had similar tendency and office SBP was also associated with a risk of CVD (adjusted HR, 1.16; 95%CI, 1.02–1.31). In prediabetes group, only morning home SBP was associated with a risk of CVD events (uHR, 1.15; 95%CI, 1.00–1.31), but was not in adjusted model. Conclusion: Prediabetes was a risk for CVD events as well as diabetes. Increased home BP contributes to CVD risk in diabetes, albeit weakly in prediabetes.
