RESUMEN
Antecedent: By means of sphygmokinetocardiography (SKCG) we developed and arterial rigidity index (ARI) which measure the pulse wave aortic carotid reflexion time over the left ventricular ejection time (LVET). This index, together with the pulse wave velocity (PWV) and the pulse pressure (PP) are indicators of arterial stiffness. In this paper we measured these index in 27 systemic artery hypertension. Cases (group A, GA), with and without left ventricular hypertrophy (subgroups: A1 SGA1, n = 13, and A2, SGA2, n = 14), respectively, and 28 normotensive cases (group B, GB). Protocol: In two occasions: after 3 minutes of sitting position (SP) and after 3 minute of jogging in an upright position (UP), blood pressure, ARI, PP, PWV (aortic-hand finger distance/aorto-hand finger pulse time) and R-IV interval (electrocardiographic R wave-left early ventricular kinetocardiography deflexion) were measured. Results: Demography was similar in GA and GB. Systolic, diastolic and pulse pressure were significantly higher in GA vs GB. LVET (ms) was lower in GA vs GB in SP (268 ± 42 vs 274 ± 40, p < 0.001, respectively) and higher postexercise UP (280 ± 42 vs 244 ± 46, p < 0.001). PWV m/s were higher in SP in GA vs GB (9.8 ± 2.8 vs 7.4 ± 1.2, p < 0.001, respectively) and in UP (10.1 ± 1.9 vs 7.9 ± 9, p < 0.001, respectively). ARI was lower in UP in GA vs GB (0.48 ± 0.3 vs 0.80 ± 0.3, p < 0.003). Correlation index of PP vs SBP, vs DBP and vs PWV were significant in SP and in UP. Height had a significant correlation vs ARI in SP and UP (r = 0.60, p < 0.01, and r = 0.42, p < 0.05, respectively). Conclusion: PWV is increased in GA vs GB patients. The ARI index is lower in GA vs GB cases in post exercise. PWV and PP showed a statistical significant correlation; height vs ARI had also a significant correlation: SKCG is a new method, that uses a not commercially instrument, which should have clinical application.
Antecedentes: Mediante esfigmoquinetocardiografía (EQCG) se desarrolló un índice de rigidez arterial (IRA) que mide el tiempo aorto-onda de reflexión arterial sobre el período expulsivo. Este índice junto con la velocidad de la onda del pulso (VOP) y la presión del pulso (PP) son signos de rigidez arterial. Aquí medimos estos indicadores en 27 casos con hipertensión arterial (grupo A, GA) con y sin hipertrofia del ventrículo izquierdo: subgrupo A1, SGA1 de 13 casos y 14 individuos (subgrupo A2, SGA2) respectivamente y 28 casos normotensos (grupo B, GB). Protocolo: En 2 ocasiones: después de 3 minutos de posición sedente (PS) y después de 3 minutos de trote en posición ortostática (PO), se midió: la presión arterial (PA), el IRA, la VOP (distancia aorta-dedo-mano/tiempo de la onda del pulso aorta-dedo-mano) la PP y el intervalo R-IV (onda R del electrocardiograma -final de la deflexión ventricular temprana en el EQCG. Resultados: La demografía fue similar en ambos grupos. La PP, las presiones sistólica y diastólica fueron más altas en el GA vs el GB. El PE (ms) fue menor en el GA vs el GB en PS (268 ± 42 vs 274 ± 40, p < 0.001, respect.) y más alto en PO (280 ± 42 vs 244 ± 46, p < 0.001) en el GA vs GB. La VOP m/s, fue más alta en PS en GA vs GB (9.8 ± 2.8 vs 7.4 ± 1.2, p < 0.001, respect.) y en PO (10.1 ± 1.9 vs 7.9 ± 9, p < 0.001, respect.). El IRA fue menor en PO en el GA vs GB (0.48 ± 0.3 vs 0.8 ± 0.3, p < 0.003). El índice de correlación de la PP vs PAS, PA y VOP tuvo significancia estadística en PS y en PO. La talla correlacionó con el IRA (r = 0.6, p < 0.01 en PS y r = 0.42, p < 0.05 en PO). Conclusiones: La VOP está aumentada y el IRA más bajo en el GA vs GB en PO (lo que indica mayor rigidez arterial). La VOP y la PP tuvieron correlación significativa con la talla al igual que esta última con el IRA. La EQCG es un método con aplicación clínica. (Arch Cardiol Mex 2003; 73:261-270).
