AbstractThe acute effects of exercise modes on pulse wave reflection (PWR) and their relationship with autonomic control remain undefined, particularly in individuals with elevated blood pressure (BP). We compared PWR and autonomic modulation after acute aerobic (AE), resistance (RE), and concurrent exercise (CE) in 15 men with stage-1 hypertension (mean ± SE: 34.7 ± 2.5 years, 28.4 ± 0.6 kg/m2, 133 ± 1/82 ± 2 mmHg). Participants underwent AE, RE, and CE on different days in counterbalanced order. Applanation tonometry and heart rate variability assessments were performed before and 30-min postexercise. Aortic pressure decreased after AE (− 2.4 ± 0.7 mmHg; P = 0.01), RE (− 2.2 ± 0.6 mmHg; P = 0.03), and CE (− 3.1 ± 0.5 mmHg; P = 0.003). Augmentation index remained stable after RE, but lowered after AE (− 5.1 ± 1.7%; P = 0.03) and CE (− 7.6 ± 2.4% P = 0.002). Systolic BP reduction occurred after CE (− 5.3 ± 1.9 mmHg). RR-intervals and parasympathetic modulation lowered after all conditions (~ 30–40%; P < 0.05), while the sympathovagal balance increased after RE (1.2 ± 0.3–1.3 ± 0.3 n.u., P < 0.05). Changes in PWR correlated inversely with sympathetic and directly with vagal modulation in CE. In conclusion, AE, RE, and CE lowered central aortic pressure, but only AE and CE reduced PWR. Overall, those reductions related to decreased parasympathetic and increased sympathetic outflows. Autonomic fluctuations seemed to represent more a consequence than a cause of reduced PWR.

Abstract Background Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is prevalent and substantially contributes to cardiovascular mortality particularly in the elderly, although the pathophysiological impact of PAD on heart itself still needs further investigation. In theory, PAD can increase pulse wave reflection which is an important determinant of subendocardial viability ratio (SEVR), a valuable estimate of myocardial perfusion as indicated by previous invasive studies. Thus, we hypothesize that PAD impairs myocardial perfusion through increasing pulse wave reflection. In this study, we aim to test this hypothesis in a large cohort from the Northern Shanghai Study. Methods A total of 2947 community-dwelling elderly Chinese (43.6% male, mean age: 71.3±5.9 years) were recruited. Ankle-brachial index were measured with the VP1000 device and used to diagnose PAD. Pulse wave reflection was estimated as aortic augmentation pressure (AP). Aortic BP, AP and SEVR were assessed by radial applanation tonometry. Multiple linear regression with SEVR and AP as dependent variable and PAD as independent variable, meanwhile adjusted for other covariates, were performed, respectively. Results 375 (12.7%) participants presented PAD. Compared to subjects without PAD, those with PAD showed significantly lower SEVR (126 vs. 132, P&lt;0.001) but higher AP (19 vs. 17 mmHg, P&lt;0.001). Multiple regression analysis revealed that both SEVR (regression coefficient [B] = −1.69, P=0.04, R2=0.61) and AP (B=1.19, P=0.04, R2=0.56) significantly associated with PAD, respectively. However, the association between SEVR and PAD was abolished when further adjusted for AP (B=−0.49, P=0.52). Similar results were obtained when inter-leg systolic BP difference was used to diagnose PAD. Conclusions PAD significantly and independently associates with myocardial perfusion; moreover, this association is mediated by increased pulse wave reflection. These findings provide a new dimension for understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms of cardiac damage of PAD. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None
