RESUMO

PURPOSE: The mechanisms underlying orthostatic hypertension (OHT) remain poorly understood. The authors evaluated the cardiovascular, cerebrovascular dynamics, and autonomic response to head-up tilt test (HUTT) in young adults with symptoms of orthostatic intolerance and transient OHT. METHODS: Forty-four female subjects were included (34 ± 13 years old) and categorized in three groups after a 30-minute 70° passive HUTT: symptomatic patients with OHT (surge of systolic blood pressure ≥20 mm Hg for at least 5 minutes at any given time during HUTT), orthostatic intolerance (symptomatic patients without orthostatic blood pressure changes), and healthy asymptomatic control subjects. RESULTS: At baseline, OHT patients had lower systolic blood pressure than orthostatic intolerance patients (103 ± 8 vs. 116 ± 10 mm Hg, p < 0.01) and lower baroreflex sensitivity than control subjects (15.8 ± 8.3 vs. 27.1 ± 11.7 ms/mm Hg, p = 0.01). On tilt, cardiac output decreased in OHT patients from 6.1 ± 1.4 L/minute during baseline to 5.2 ± 0.8 L/minute after 10 minutes of HUTT (p = 0.01). In OHT patients at 30 minutes of HUTT, sympathetic efferent heart activity was higher (77.4 ± 14.9 normalized units or nu) than orthostatic intolerant patients (63.5 ± 11.8 nu, p = 0.02) and control subjects (65.8 ± 11.2 nu, p = 0.05). Cerebrovascular resistance in OHT was higher than control subjects after 30 minutes (2.2 ± 0.8 vs. 1.6 ± 0.3 cm/second, respectively, p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that transient OHT can occur at any given time during HUTT. These patients exhibit a decrease in cardiac output and a hyperadrenergic response to tilt.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to compare hemodynamic and autonomic responses during head-up tilt test (HUTT) between healthy volunteers and patients with a history of fainting and confirmed vasovagal syncope. We hypothesize that the autonomic and hemodynamic physiologic responses remain intact during orthostatic stress in people without previous fainting and negative HUTT, but deteriorate similarly in patients with recurrent vasovagal syncope and in asymptomatic healthy subjects who develop a vasovagal response during HUTT. METHODS: The study included 57 asymptomatic healthy volunteers (42% women, mean age 23.7 ± 3.6 years) categorized as negative HUTT (n = 41) and positive HUTT (n = 16). They were compared with 14 patients (50% women, mean age 24.2 ± 6.1 years) with previous spontaneous recurrent syncope and inducible vasovagal response during HUTT. Cerebral and cardiovascular hemodynamic variables were assessed noninvasively during the HUTT in each participant. RESULTS: In all patients with recurrent syncope, tilt was positive after a mean delay of 15.6 ± 8.6 minutes and did not differ from the time to syncope observed after 19.6 ± 6.9 minutes in asymptomatic healthy subjects with a positive test. A significant decrease throughout the tilting was observed in the blood pressure, peripheral resistances, cerebral blood flow, and vascular efferent sympathetic regulation in both groups of subjects with a positive test. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that there are subjects, without a history of syncope, who have a positive HUTT with hemodynamic and autonomic responses alike to patients with confirmed vasovagal syncope, precluding them to be selected as controls in vasovagal syncope studies.
