摘要：

Arginine vasopressin (AVP) has been found to participate in blood pressure maintenance especially when other pressor systems are endogenously or pharmacologically impaired. The purpose of this study was to assess the pressor contribution of AVP to orthostatic blood pressure maintenance in otherwise healthy patients with essential hypertension. Twenty-seven patients were grouped according to age (young n = 13, elderly n = 14) and race (white n = 13, black n = 14). Integrity of autonomic nervous system (ANS) was assessed by Valsalva's maneuver, cold pressor test and head-up tilt. AVP contribution to blood pressure was estimated by the fall in mean arterial pressure in response to IV injection of 0.5 mg of a V1 AVP inhibitor (AVPi). Elderly subjects were found to have a mild (sub-clinical) ANS impairment as indicated by absence of bradycardia in phase 4 of Valsalva's maneuver and hypotension without concurrent tachycardia during head up tilt. Depressor responses to AVPi while subjects were in the upright position, were greater in elderly and blacks (- 15 +/- 11 mm Hg and - 15 +/- 12 mm Hg, respectively, P < .05) than young and whites (- 8 +/- 6 and - 7 +/- 6 mm Hg, respectively, ns). The greater importance of the AVP component in the elderly may be at least partially explained by a mild ANS impairment, whereas hormonal characteristics of hypertension in blacks may explain greater AVPi induced fall in mean arterial pressure. Our data show that both age and race influence the response to AVPi.
