Circulating microvesicles across a population with various degree of cardiovascular burden are associated with systolic blood pressure.
Journal of Human Hypertension 2023 August 24
Circulating microvesicles (MVs) have been studied in heterogeneous, divergent, and rather small patient populations with cardiovascular risk . Therefore, we measured endothelial (EMVs), platelet (PMVs) and erythrocyte (RMVs) MVs in patients with divergent cardiovascular risk. We then compared them to coronary artery disease (CAD) and healthy subjects and identified independent MVs' predictors. We enrolled consecutive patients from our Cardiology, Hypertension, Diabetic, Rheumatic, and Nephrology Outpatient Units with MVs measurements. Central blood pressure (BP) was measured by either applanation tonometry or Mobil-O-graph device, while MVs by a standardized flow cytometry protocol. We studied 369 participants with increased cardiovascular risk: 63 with high cardiovascular risk (47 diabetes mellitus type II/DM and 16 end-stage renal disease/ESRD), 92 with chronic inflammatory disorders and 73 with untreated essential hypertension/UEH. We further included 53 subjects with CAD and 87 otherwise healthy individuals. All MVs were lower in patients with increased cardiovascular risk compared to CAD, showing predictive value with high sensitivity and specificity. Furthermore, PMVs and EMVs were increased in patients with cardiovascular risk compared to healthy individuals. DM and ESRD patients had increased EMVs versus UEH and chronic inflammatory disorders. In the whole study population, RMVs were associated only with history of essential hypertension. In multivariate analysis, systolic BP predicted PMVs. Aage, systolic BP, and DM predicted EMVs. In a large population of patients with divergent cardiovascular risk, MVs are independently associated with systolic blood pressure.
