Abstract:
Objective To explore the effects of calcium channel blocker(CCB) on blood pressure and short-term prognosis of hypertension patients with different types of dyslipidemias. Methods The data was from 2 341 hypertensive patients with complete baseline blood lipid data in levoamlodipine maleate or amlodipine beaylate for treatment of hypertension: a comparative effectiveness research(LEADER). Under the study protocol, patients were followed up for 24 months(including 7 visits) after treated with amlodipine or levoamlodipine. According to the baseline serum total cholesterol(TC) and triglyceride(TG) levels, patients were divided into four groups: mixed high lipid group(TC≥6.2 mmol/L and TG≥2.3 mmol/L), high cholesterol group(TC≥6.2 mmol/L and TG<2.3 mmol/L), high triglyceride group(TC<6.2 mmol/L and TG≥2.3 mmol/L), and normal lipid group(TC<6.2 mmol/L and TG<2.3 mmol/L). The blood pressure compliance rate and blood pressure reduction in each group after the treatment were compared. Results The systolic blood pressure(SBP) reduction was significantly different between each group(F=3.451, P=0.016). The decrease of SBP(F=89.298, P<0.001) and diastolic blood pressure(F=41.774, P<0.001) were significantly different between each visits. The blood pressure compliance rate was significantly different between each group. Compared to the normal blood pressure group, the blood pressure compliance rate of high triglyceride group and mixed high lipid group was significantly lower(P<0.001). Compared with the baseline, the improvement of blood pressure compliance rate at each visit was statistically significant(P<0.05). After adjusting for confounding factors, compared with the normal lipid group, the reduction of SBP in the mixed high lipid group at 1
st(β=2.740, 95%CI 1.130-4.350), 2
nd(β=2.185, 95%CI 0.622-3.747), 3
rd(β=2.949, 95%CI 1.478-4.419), 6
th(β=2.556, 95%CI 1.159-3.953), 12
th(β=2.141, 95%CI 0.793-3.488) and 18
th month(β=1.776, 95%CI 0.490-3.062) after the treatment was significantly increased. After adjusting for confounding factors, blood pressure compliance rate of mixed high lipid group was lower than normal lipid group at the 1
st(OR=0.507, 95%CI 0.363-0.709), 2
nd(OR=0.557, 95%CI 0.390-0.796), 3
rd(OR=0.661, 95%CI 0.450-0.972), 6
th(OR=0.648, 95%CI 0.425-0.988), and 12
th month(OR=0.577, 95%CI 0.370-0.900) of CCB treatment, but didn’t show difference at the 18
th and 24
th month. Conclusions Hypertensive patients with hyperlipidemia had higher blood pressure and lower compliance rate. Hypertensive patients with different blood lipid levels may have different antihypertensive responses(SBP) to CCB, and CCB may have a better antihypertensive effect on patients with mixed hyperlipidemia.
