ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Subclinical life style disease can cause endothelial dysfunction associated with perfusion abnormalities and reduced vascular compliance. Subclinical elevated beta type natriuretic peptide (BNP) has been associated with altered fluid shift from extra to intracellular space during acute hypoxia. Therefore we measured vascular response and BNP levels during acute hypoxia to study endothelial functions among healthy individuals.METHODS:
Individuals were exposed to acute normobaric hypoxia of FiO2 = 0.15 for one hour in supine position and their pulmonary and systemic vascular response to hypoxia was compared. Individuals were divided into two groups based on either no response (Group 1) or rise in systolic pulmonary artery pressure to hypoxia (Group 2) and their BNP levels were compared.RESULTS:
BNP was raised after hypoxia exposure in group 2 only from 18.52 ± 7 to 21.56 ± 10.82 picogram/ml, p < 0.05. Group 2 also showed an increase in mean arterial pressure and no fall in total body water in response to acute hypoxia indicating decreased endothelial function compared to Group 1.CONCLUSION:
Rise in pulmonary artery pressure and BNP level in response to acute normobaric hypoxia indicates reduced endothelial function and can be used to screen subclinical lifestyle disease among healthy population.Keywords
