Abstract:Objective To explore the effect of BPV intervention strategy on hypertensive leukoaraiosis (LA) and its prognosis of stroke and cognition. Methods A prospective study of 269 patients with hypertension from Zhengzhou People's Hospital from January 2013 to December 2016 was included. BPV was expressed as a standard deviation of blood pressure (SD) and a coefficient of variation (CV). Among them, no or mild LA group was defined as the control group, and moderate to severe LA group was defined as the disease group. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between BPV and LA. Different types of antihypertensive drugs were given after admission, and cognitive function status scores were performed using the Simple Mental Scale (MMSE). After 1 year, the patient's BPV and LA degree were reviewed again. To analyze the effects of different antihypertensive drugs on BPV, LA and stroke and cognitive function changes within 1 year. Results The systolic blood pressure CV, systolic blood pressure SD, and sputum type were significantly different from the control group (P?0.05). Higher systolic blood pressure SD, non-sputum type is a risk factor for LA. [OlR?=?2.168, (95% CI: 1.120, 4.195), P?=?0.022; OlR?=?2.764, (95% CI: 1.405, 5.437), P?=?0.003]. The ratio of moderate to severe LA and the incidence of stroke in the amlodipine group were lower than those in the enalapril and metoprolol groups (P?< 0.05); after administration of amlodipine, enalapril and metoprolol The SD were (13.756?±?2.919), (14.919?±?3.037) and (15.433?±?2.962) (P?0.05). The MMSE scores of amlodipine, enalapril and metoprolol were (27.484?±?2.267), (26.575?±?2.488) and (26.032?±?3.113) (P?0.05). Conclusions Systolic SD and non-sputum type are good and simple indicators for predicting LA. Calcium antagonists or long-acting antihypertensive drugs can reduce blood pressure variability and are effective measures to prevent LA, reduce stroke and cognitive decline.
