Blood volume phenotypes and patient sex in resistant hypertension.
Journal of Hypertension 2024 Februrary 16
The relationship of blood volume (BV) to systemic blood pressure (BP) is not well defined in resistant hypertension (RH). The goal of this study was to examine the extent to which systemic BP stratified by patient sex would impact BV phenotypes. A retrospective analysis of clinical and quantitative BV data was undertaken in a cohort of ambulatory patients with a history of controlled and uncontrolled RH. We analyzed 253 unique BVs with 54% of patients above goal BP of <150 mmHg. BV phenotypes were highly variable but no correlation of systolic BP to absolute BV or percentage deviation from normal volume was identified in either sex. Males demonstrated overall larger absolute BVs with higher prevalence of large plasma volume (PV) expansion; females were overall more hypovolemic by total BV but with a higher frequency of normal PV than males. Females trended towards more RBC mass deficit (true anemia) (49% vs. 38%. P = 0.084) while more males demonstrated RBC mass excess (erythrocythemia) (21% vs. 11%, P = 0.029). Importantly, a significant portion (52%) of patients with true anemia identified by BVA would go undetected by hemoglobin measurement alone. BV phenotypes are highly diverse in patients with RH. However, absolute BV or variability in BV phenotypes even when stratified by patient sex did not demonstrate an association with systemic BP. BV phenotyping provides a key to optimizing clinical management by identifying RBC mass profiles particularly distinguishing true anemia, dilutional anemia, and erythrocythemia and the contribution of PV expansion. Findings support the clinical utility of BV phenotyping in RH.
