Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Public Institution(s). Main funding source(s): Tyumen Cardiology Research Center, Tomsk National Research Medical Center, Russian Academy of Sciences, Tomsk, Russia Objective To study the role of therapeutic exercises (TE) in the correction of blood pressure, stiffness of the vascular wall, metabolic indices of body structure (volume, mass, area of visceral fat)  and  bone mineral metabolism in postmenopausal hypertensive patients. Methods. The study included 138 patients (mean age was 58.32 ± 7.61 years). All patients are divided into 3 groups. The first control group is 20 women without arterial hypertension and menopausе. The second group consisted of 58 patients with arterial hypertension (AH) and postmenopause who was not undergone complex of TE and the 3rd group - 60 women with AH and postmenopause who was undergone TE complex. Patients of all groups were examined in dynamics: at the starting point of the study and in 12 months after, ambulatory monitoring of blood pressure; sphygmography; densitometry and test for serum biochemistry parameters of blood samples, including sex hormones, vitamin D. Results. In the course of the study, blood pressure, vascular wall stiffness parameters,  metabolic indices of body structure and disorder parameters of bone mineral metabolism  were comparable in group 2 and 3 against the background of significantly reduced levels of sex hormones. Multidirectional correlation relationships between the studied parameters are revealed. The basic therapy in combination with therapeutic exercises  led to a significant decrease in blood pressure and metabolic indices of body structure (p<.001) and to  a persistent tendency of decrease  the pulse wave velocity and increase of bone mineral metabolism in gr.3. Conclusion. The result of the study indicates that the exercise therapy complex used in the form of regular classes  can be recommended for implementation in clinical practice with the aim of comprehensively affecting the patient’s body and developing personalized treatment tactics for postmenopausal women with hypertension.

Abstract : Hypertension or high blood pressure is an abnormal increase in blood pressure in the arteries continuously over a period. The dangers of hypertension can lead to damage to various organs including kidneys, brain, heart, eye, causing vascular resistance and stroke. Hypertension takes care of the old and continuously. One effective way to lower blood pressure is to obediently take medicine so that it takes the role of families in monitoring patients taking the medication. With the participation of the family are expected to hypertension sufferers can be controlled. This study aims to determine the family's role in monitoring the adherence of hypertensive patients. The study was conducted in rural communities Slahung Ponorogo, a representative sample of 53 respondents taken by purposive sampling. Quantitative design with cross sectional design of the study the family's role in monitoring the adherence of hypertensive patients. Instruments in this study using questionnaires and observation sheets. The results of 53 respondents obtained the majority of the 29 respondents (55%) has the role of both families and 24 respondents (45%) families have a bad role in monitoring medication adherence. Age and education contribute to determining the role family. Intermediate (41-60 years old) and college education contribute to determining the role well. Conversely > 61 years of elementary education and contribute in a bad role.Keywords : the role of the family, medication adherence, hypertension. Abstrak : Hipertensi atau tekanan darah tinggi adalah suatu peningkatan abnormal tekanan darah dalam pembuluh darah arteri secara terus-menerus lebih dari suatu periode.

Arterial wall stiffness is an early marker of cardiovascular diseases. The gold standard for assessment of the stiffness of large vessels is presently pulse wave velocity (PWV). Work is in progress on the study of the reference values of PWV in people of different genders and ages. 24-hour blood pressure (BP) monitoring is not only a procedure that can estimate diurnal BP variability, but also monitor the indicators of vascular wall stiffness in a number of cases over a 24-hour period. The given review highlights the pathophysiology of arterial stiffness, methods for its assessment, and the aspects of use in therapeutic practice.

Background. Despite overall efforts, arterial hypertension remains one of the most significant medical and social problems. The risk of developing arterial hypertension is tripled in obese individuals compared with people who have normal body weight. According to clinical studies, individual biochemical markers can be predictors of initiation of remodeling processes in systems at a preclinical level. Endothelial dysfunction is the initial stage in the development of atherosclerosis. Mechanisms of the vascular inflammatory response in arterial hypertension with obesity can be considered a factor that largely determines the onset and course of the disease, a cause of its aggravation, development, and progression. Cardiovascular risk factors, genetic predisposition, deficit of sex hormones, and aging affect the endothelium function.Aim. To study specifics of hypertension in postmenopausal women with abdominal obesity and to evaluate the role of inflammatory response markers, leptin, and female sex hormones in the pathogenesis of vascular wall stiffness.Material and Methods. The study included 164 patients divided into three groups. Group 1 consisted of 42 healthy women aged 44.43 ± 14.26 years; group 2 comprised 62 hypertensive women aged 60.69 ± 7.09 years; group 3 comprised 60 hypertensive women with abdominal obesity aged 57.24 ± 7.40 years. Patients of all groups received 24-hour blood pressure monitoring, sphygmography, and assessment of sex hormones, lipids, inflammatory, and biochemical parameters in blood serum.Results. Results of analysis showed that patients of group 3 had significantly higher blood pressure compared with that in group 2. Higher pulse wave velocity was observed in women of group 2. Groups 2 and 3 had lower levels of sex hormones and significant increases in the levels of inflammatory markers compared with those in control group. Multiple multidirectional correlations between the studied parameters were revealed.Conclusions. Features of hypertension in postmenopausal women with obesity consist in a systolic-diastolic variant of hypertension, an increase in systolic blood pressure variability at night, an increase in diastolic blood pressure during the daytime, and increases in systolic and diastolic blood pressure at night. The method of logistic regression allowed to identify biochemical markers that determine the elastic properties of the vascular wall in this category of patients, namely: leptin, highsensitivity C-reactive protein, and endothelin-1.

Cerebral aneurysms (CAs) are dilations of the wall of an artery in the brain filled with blood. The prevalence of unrupted CA in general population is estimated at approximately 3%. Ruptured aneurysms are the cause of 85% of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) cases. The formation of cerebral aneurysms results from various factors, including chronic inflammation, hemodynamic stress and vascular wall remodeling. Reactive oxygen species may induce the endothelial dysfunction possibly through the activation of Nuclear Factor Kappa-B, which is a key regulator of the proinflammatory genes. Hypertension may additionally increase the hemodynamic stress and activate the local renin-angiotensin system. The aim of this review was to assess the role of selected diet-related factors in the formation and rupture of cerebral aneurysms. It appears that inadequate intake of dietary antioxidants, hyperhomocysteinemia, hypertension (including incidental elevated blood pressure) and alcohol consumption may increase the risk of intracranial aneurysms. Individuals at high risk of CA formation and/or rupture should consume adequate amounts of antioxidant vitamins (vitamin C, vitamin E and carotenoids), B vitamins (vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and folate), flavonoids and n-3 fatty acids, limit alcohol and caffeine consumption and regularly control their blood pressure. Vegetables, fruits, grains, pulses, nuts and fish, as well as herbs, spices and tea, should be the major components of the daily diet. Due to the synergistic effect of various dietary components on health, Mediterranean diet or Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, as they meet abovementioned requirements and have high anti-inflammatory potential, are thus recommended for the prevention of cerebral aneurysm formation and rupture.

Structural, mechanical and functional adjustments occur in small mesenteric arteries (SMA) of hypertensive models. However, the role of these properties to trigger hypertension is unknown. As expected, the systolic blood pressure was higher in adult (A, 6-month old) male SHR as compared to Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) (WKYA: 125±1.1 vs SHRA: 187±3.3 mmHg*); however, it was similar in young (Y, 6-week old) SHR as compared to age-matched WKY (WKYY: 117±1.8 vs SHRY: 120±2.1 mmHg). The 3rd order mesenteric arteries were mounted in a pressure myograph to analyze the structural [lumen diameter (L), cross sectional area (CSA), wall/lumen ratio (W/L)] and mechanical properties [β, representing wall stiffness]. Endothelium-dependent relaxation to acetylcholine (ACh, 10-10-10-5 M) or -independent relaxation to sodium nitroprusside (SNP, 10-9-10-4 M) were evaluated in SMA using wire myography. At the passive condition (Ca2+-free solution) and intraluminal pressure of 160 mmHg, the L was lower in SMA of both SHR (WKYY: 294±12.0 vs SHRY: 241±4.3*; WKYA: 353±4.7 vs SHRA: 283±6.2 μm*); while the W/L ratio was higher in SHR as compared to age-matched WKY. CSA was similar between age-matched groups. β value was higher in SHR independently of age (WKYY: 5.8±0.4 vs. SHRY: 7.8±0.4*; WKYA: 4.7±0.1 vs SHRA: 6.7±0.4*). The collagen area evaluated by picrosirius red staining was higher in SMA of SHRA as compared to WKYA (WKYA: 15±2.4 vs SHRA: 26±1.8%*), but it did not change in young rats. ACh-induced maximal relaxation was similar in SMA from young groups (WKYY: 93±3.8 vs SHRY: 92±3.1%); however, in SHRA ACh elicited a biphasic curve inducing contraction at concentrations higher than 10-7M, which was not observed in WKYA. Relaxation to SNP did not change among groups. Reactive oxygen species analyzed by dihydroethidium was higher in SMA of SHRA as compared to WKYA (WKYA: 100±3.7 vs SHRA: 126±10.3% of integrated density*), but did not change in young SMA. Although SMA of SHRY present eutrophic inward remodeling and wall stiffening, it does not present collagen deposition, oxidative stress or endothelial dysfunction as observed in SHRA; suggesting that vascular remodeling and wall stiffness of SMA are not sufficient to trigger hypertension, at least when endothelial function is preserved.
