Abstract

Increased penetration of pulsatile power to the brain has been implicated in the pathogenesis of age-related cognitive dysfunction and dementia, a common comorbidity in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, there is a lack of knowledge on the effects of organic and inorganic nitrates administration in this population on the power carried by pressure and flow waves traveling through the proximal aorta and penetrating the carotid artery into the brain microvasculature. We assessed aortic and carotid hemodynamics non-invasively in two sub-studies: (1) at baseline and after administration of 0.4 mg of sublingual nitroglycerine (an organic nitrate; n  =  26); and (2) in a randomized controlled trial of placebo (PB) versus inorganic nitrate administration (beetroot-juice (BR), 12.9 mmol NO3; n  =  16). Wave and hydraulic power analysis demonstrated that NTG increased total hydraulic power (from 5.68% at baseline to 8.62%, P  =  0.001) and energy penetration (from 8.69% to 11.63%; P  =  0.01) from the aorta to the carotid, while inorganic nitrate administration did not induce significant changes in aortic and carotid wave power (power: 5.49%PB versus 6.25%BR, P  =  0.49; energy: 8.89%PB versus 1...Continue Reading
