High-normal blood pressure (BP) increases the risk of cardiovascular (CV) disease. The mechanisms underlying this increased risk are not clear. Sympathetic activation appears to be a potential mechanism linking high-normal BP to CV disease. This study examined whether high-normal BP compared to optimal BP is linked to sympathoexcitation at rest and/or during laboratory stressors. Heart rate (HR), BP and muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) were obtained at rest and during stress tests (sustained hand grip and mental stress) in 18 subjects (15 males and 3 females) with high-normal BP (systolic BP of 130 to 139 mm Hg, diastolic BP of 85 to 89 mm Hg, or both) and in 12 subjects (10 males and 2 females) with optimal BP (<120/80 mm Hg) matched for age (34±3 years in both groups) and body mass index (25±2 kg/m2 in both groups). Despite the higher resting BP levels, MSNA was higher in subjects with high-normal BP than in the optimal BP group (26±3 vs 18±2 bursts/min, P<0.05). During sustained hand grip, MSNA increased by 37±14% in high-normal BP group compared with an increase of 49±15% in optimal BP group (P=0.55). Changes during mental stress were 50±28% and 37±12%, respectively (P=0.73). There were no significant differences in SBP responses to handgrip and mental stress between the high-normal and optimal BP groups. Baseline HR and chronotropic responses to stress tests were comparable between the two groups. In comparison to optimal BP, high-normal BP is associated with increased resting MSNA, but normal neural and circulatory responses to stress tests. These findings suggest that tonic activation of the sympathetic nervous system may precede overt arterial hypertensionand contribute to an excess risk of CV disease in subjects with high-normal BP.
