    Summary

    Peripheral venous tone decreases in advanced essential hypertension. Reserpine treatment normalized venous tone in stage IIA hypertensive patients, indicating a potential therapeutic target for managing blood pressure and venous function.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Physiology
    • Hypertension Research
    • Clinical Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Essential hypertension is characterized by elevated arterial pressure.
    • Peripheral venous tone plays a crucial role in circulatory regulation.
    • Understanding venous tone alterations in hypertension is vital for comprehensive patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate peripheral venous tone in patients with essential hypertension.
    • To correlate venous tone with arterial pressure and disease stage.
    • To evaluate the effect of reserpine on venous tone in hypertensive patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Digital electroplethysmography was used to measure peripheral venous tone.
    • 124 patients with essential hypertension and 20 healthy controls were studied.
    • Venous tone was assessed in different stages of hypertension and during orthostasis.

    Main Results:

    • A significant decrease in venous tone was observed with increasing arterial tone in stage II hypertension.
    • Venous tone increased less than arterial tone during orthostasis.
    • Reserpine treatment in stage IIA hypertension led to decreased arterial pressure and normalized venous tone.

    Conclusions:

    • Peripheral venous tone is significantly altered in essential hypertension, particularly in advanced stages.
    • Venous capacity correlates with systolic and pulse pressure changes, allowing for venous pressure assessment.
    • Reserpine demonstrates a normalizing effect on venous tone in hypertensive patients, suggesting its therapeutic potential.
