In a recent publication, Okada et al1 reported that elderly blacks have a blunted sympathetic neural responsiveness, but greater pressor response to orthostasis than elderly whites. The authors conclude that elderly blacks had a greater response in total peripheral resistance for a given change in total muscle sympathetic nerve activity during tilting. The authors suggested that an augmented sympathetic vascular transduction or enhanced nonadrenergic vasoconstrictor mechanisms are involved in this enhanced pressor response. 1 In an earlier article, greater orthostatic tolerance was also found in black women. 2 Commenting on their suggestions, we offer a possible mechanistic contribution.We have proposed that black individuals have higher vascular contractility because of high creatine kinase (CK) activity. 3, 4 CK rapidly provides ATP for highly energy-demanding cellular responses and may increase ATP-buffering capacity leading to enhanced vascular contractility. 3, 4 At subcellular locations with high energy demands, CK rapidly regenerates ATP, near Na+/K+–ATPase and Ca2+–ATPase at membranes, as well as near myosin light chain kinase and myosin ATPase at the contractile proteins. 4 Even a small increase in the contractility of vascular smooth muscle could have a profound effect on resistance of flow and hence arterial pressure, as expressed in the Poiseuille–Hagen formula, blood flow and resistance in vivo are markedly affected by small changes in the caliber of the vessel. 3, 5
