High Rates Of Uncontrolled Blood Pressure: Pulse Wave Velocity And Future Opportunities, Merrill Elias, Kevin Sullivan, Gregory A. Dore, Michael A. Robbins
Maine-Syracuse Longitudinal Papers
The recent commentary on high rates of uncontrolled blood pressure (BP) and opportunities for health care providers in this Journal prompted an examination of treated but uncontrolled BP in relation to pulse wave velocity (PWV) in the Maine Syracuse Longitudinal Study (MSLS). Cohen and Townsend noted that a Center for Disease Control analysis2 of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data (2003–2010) indicated that the presence of uncontrolled hypertension (≥140 mm Hg systolic and ≥90 mm Hg diastolic) in US adults was 53.5%. They further noted that approximately 45% of these individuals with uncontrolled hypertension were aware of their …

Hypertension, a major risk factor in the cardiovascular system, is characterized by an increase in the arterial blood pressure. High dietary sodium is linked to multiple cardiovascular disorders including hypertension. Salt sensitivity, a measure of how the blood pressure responds to salt intake is observed in more than 50% of the hypertension cases. Nitric Oxide (NO), as an endogenous vasodilator serves many important biological roles in the cardiovascular physiology including blood pressure regulation. The physiological concentrations for NO bioactivity are reported to be in 0-500 nM range. Notably, the vascular response to NO is highly regulated within a small concentration …
