Background: Recent reports suggest that central blood pressure (BP) may be instrumental in the diagnosis and management of hypertension. Several reports have shown an association between salt intake and central hemodynamics, especially central systolic BP; however, this relationship remains unclear in Japanese outpatients with hypertension. Therefore, this study investigated the relationship between central systolic BP and salt intake in Japanese outpatients with hypertension. Methods: We recruited 141 Japanese outpatients with hypertension. Their daily salt intake was estimated using spot urine samples. Their central systolic BP was measured using an Omron HEM-9000AI device. Results: The median estimated salt intake was 9.81 (range, 8.34-11.47) g/day. The mean brachial systolic/diastolic BP and central systolic BP were 131.2 ± 16.5 /78.1 ± 10.9 mmHg and 135.6 ± 17.3 mmHg, respectively. The estimated salt intake was divided into four quartiles, with central systolic BP significantly higher in Q3 and Q4 than that in Q1 (P < 0.01). A significant positive correlation was observed between central systolic BP and estimated salt intake (r=0.275, P=0.001). Multiple regression analysis of central systolic BP showed that the estimated salt intake and BMI were significant factors (P = 0.014 and P = 0.027, respectively). Conclusions: We found that our Japanese outpatients with hypertension consumed higher amounts of salt than the target value recommended by Japanese guidelines. In addition, there was a moderate relationship between central systolic BP and the estimated salt intake. Therefore, a decrease in salt intake is important, even in outpatients with hypertension receiving antihypertensive medication.

Background: Aortic dissection is thought to develop and progress due to hypertension and atherosclerosis, but the detailed mechanisms of the onset and progression are still unknown. In this study, we investigated the relationship between type of aortic dissection and the atherosclerotic risk factors including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and discussed potential mechanisms. Methods: There were 52 consecutive patients with aortic dissection who were admitted to our hospital, and a sleep study was performed to look for OSA in 42 of them (27 men and 15 women, age: 67±12 years, BMI: 24±4, DeBakey type I: n=6, type IIIa: n=7, type IIIb: n=29). Results: In the 42 patients who had a sleep study, OSA was seen in 36 patients (86%). OSA was more frequent in type IIIb (n=27) than in type IIIa (n=4) aortic dissection (93% vs 57%, p= 0.01). Univariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the presence of OSA could distinguish type IIIb from IIIa (odds ratio: 10.125, 95% confidence interval: 1.272-80.623, P=0.029). Conclusion: OSA was frequently associated with aortic dissection and its prevalence was higher in type IIIb than type IIIa, suggesting that OSA may be associated with the development and progression of aortic dissection.
