目的 探討針刺治療對原發(fā)性高血壓患者血壓變異性和心率變異性的影響。方法 選擇符合條件的60例原發(fā)性高血壓患者進行針刺治療,療程為30 d,采用自身前后對照,分別于治療前后完善24 h動態(tài)血壓及24 h動態(tài)心電圖檢查。結果 針刺治療后血壓變異性各指標(24 h平均收縮壓、24 h平均舒張壓、24 h收縮壓標準差、24 h舒張壓標準差、白晝收縮壓標準差、白晝舒張壓標準差、夜間收縮壓標準差、夜間舒張壓標準差)均較治療前降低,差異具有統(tǒng)計學意義(P<0.05);心率變異性各指標(連續(xù)RR間期標準差、平均5 min RR間期標準差、平均5 min RR間期標準差的平均值、連續(xù)RR間期差值的均方根值、相鄰RR間期大于50 ms的百分數(shù))均較治療前有所改善,差異具有統(tǒng)計學意義(P<0.05)。結論 針刺治療能顯著降低原發(fā)性高血壓患者的血壓變異性,改善心率變異性,從而可能改善高血壓患者的靶器官損害。
針刺;原發(fā)性高血壓;血壓變異性;心率變異性
原發(fā)性高血壓患者的治療過程中不僅要降低血壓水平,更重要的是通過控制其血壓變異性(blood pressure variability, BPV)、改善心率變異性(heart rate variability, HRV)從而減輕或避免靶器官損害,提高生存質(zhì)量[1-2]。BPV是指一定時間內(nèi)血壓波動的程度,是體內(nèi)神經(jīng)內(nèi)分泌動態(tài)調(diào)節(jié)綜合平衡的結果[2];HRV是逐次心搏期間的微小差異,可反映交感與迷走神經(jīng)對心血管系統(tǒng)調(diào)節(jié)的動態(tài)平衡[3-4]。研究表明,交感神經(jīng)活性增強在原發(fā)性高血壓發(fā)病機制中占有重要地位,導致原發(fā)性高血壓患者血壓變異性增加,心率變異性減小[5-6];同時,上述機制是引起高血壓患者靶器官損害的獨立危險因素[7]。傳統(tǒng)中醫(yī)治療在高血壓領域具有悠久的歷史,針刺手法在降低高血壓患者血壓水平方面臨床療效顯著[8],本研究通過觀察針刺治療對原發(fā)性高血壓患者血壓變異性和心率變異性的影響,以期進一步探究傳統(tǒng)針刺治療高血壓的機制。
1.1 研究對象 研究2014年9月-2015年8月期間在我院心內(nèi)科住院且首次診斷為原發(fā)性高血壓的患者,滿足條件入選共60例,其中男35例,女25例,年齡45~79歲,根據(jù)2010年高血壓指南按血壓水平進行分級:高血壓1級32例[收縮壓140~159 mmHg和(或)舒張壓90~99 mmHg],高血壓2級28例[收縮壓160~179 mmHg和(或)舒張壓100~109 mmHg]。
1.2 入選標準及排除標準 參照2010年高血壓指南,高血壓診斷標準:在未使用降壓藥物的情況下,非同日3次測量血壓,收縮壓≥140 mmHg和(或)舒張壓≥90 mmHg。排除腎實質(zhì)病變、腎動脈狹窄、內(nèi)分泌紊亂、主動脈縮窄或藥物等引起的繼發(fā)性高血壓。另外,考慮到安全性問題及醫(yī)學倫理因素,高血壓3級未入選本項研究。
1.3 方法 采用自身前后對照設計,對60例原發(fā)性高血壓患者進行維期30 d的針刺治療,治療前后均完善動態(tài)血壓及動態(tài)心電圖檢查,采集BPV及HRV各指標并進行比較。針刺取穴:人迎、足三里、曲池、合谷、太沖。針刺刺法:人迎穴:患者平臥,避開頸動脈搏動處,垂直進針1~1.5寸,施以小幅度(<90°)、高頻率(>120 r/min ) 捻轉(zhuǎn)補法1 min;曲池、足三里穴:垂直進針1寸,施以捻轉(zhuǎn)補法1 min;合谷、太沖穴:垂直進針0.8~1寸,施以捻轉(zhuǎn)瀉法1 min(面向患者,以任脈為中心,拇指捻轉(zhuǎn)作用力為離心方向);上述穴位均留針20 min,2次/d[5]。
1.4 監(jiān)測指標

高血壓是我國發(fā)病率最高的慢性疾病,往往伴隨自主神經(jīng)、內(nèi)分泌功能障礙,長期控制不佳將引起全身多處靶器官損害[9-14]。
高血壓患者人群中,神經(jīng)內(nèi)分泌功能的障礙導致血壓波動性增高,在血流動力學上造成的異常引起血流的不穩(wěn)定,從而改變血流的切應力[15]。動脈粥樣硬化斑塊在局部環(huán)境中主要受其自身張力、所處血管管壁的張力變化以及施加于斑塊上的切應力等共同作用,血壓波動性的增高改變了施加于斑塊上的切應力,使得斑塊內(nèi)外受力不均,因而加劇了斑塊的不穩(wěn)定性,促進了動脈粥樣硬化的發(fā)生和發(fā)展,最終引起靶器官的損害[16]。因此,目前高血壓指南中強調(diào)24 h血壓監(jiān)測和平穩(wěn)降壓的重要性。同時,HRV作為一個無創(chuàng)定量反映自主神經(jīng)活性及其調(diào)節(jié)功能的檢測方法,對評價高血壓患者自主神經(jīng)的變化具有非常重要的臨床價值[13, 17-20]。研究表明,HRV對于高血壓患者心臟損傷具有判斷價值,高血壓引起心肌肥厚的患者HRV明顯降低[21]。目前已有高血壓藥物雖然能夠一定程度上將血壓控制在正常數(shù)值水平,但由于藥物代謝及機體自身的調(diào)節(jié)作用,往往很難控制好血壓變異性和心率變異性,從而難以最大程度地降低靶器官損害。
高血壓病在中醫(yī)屬“頭痛”、“眩暈”范疇,為氣血陰陽失調(diào)、上實下虛、本虛標實之證。針刺治療可通過調(diào)和氣血陰陽來達到降壓的目的[22-23]。人迎、足三里、曲池均為陽明經(jīng)穴,陽明經(jīng)為多氣多血之經(jīng),具有調(diào)和氣血之功;合谷、太沖為經(jīng)典配穴,合谷位于手陽明經(jīng),亦為多氣多血之經(jīng),太沖位于足厥陰經(jīng),瀉此二穴能達到瀉全身亢盛之氣而降壓,五穴合用陰平陽秘,氣血調(diào)和,平穩(wěn)降壓[23]。從現(xiàn)代醫(yī)學來看,人迎穴毗鄰頸動脈竇壓力感受器,針刺人迎穴,可以刺激感受器,使興奮傳導到延髓心血管中樞,此時興奮心迷走中樞、抑制心交感中樞來改善心率變異性。相關研究表明,針刺太沖、足三里能使高血壓患者血管緊張素轉(zhuǎn)化酶(ACE)表達升高,從而抑制腎素-血管緊張素-醛固酮系統(tǒng),降低血壓變異性[24-25]。在本研究中,我們選擇了較為公認的高血壓針刺穴位,時間限制未在針刺穴位選擇上進行對比分析,同時出于安全性考慮,將高血壓3級排除在入組研究范疇,這也是本研究的局限性。但是,我們發(fā)現(xiàn),通過30 d的針刺治療,能夠較好地降低患者血壓水平,可以有效降低血壓變異性,心率變異性得到改善,這將最終可能有利于減輕高血壓引起的靶器官損傷。
總之,本研究證實,對原發(fā)性高血壓患者實施針刺治療后,不僅能降低患者的血壓水平,進一步減少血壓變異性,達到平穩(wěn)降壓,同時能改善心率變異性,調(diào)節(jié)自主神經(jīng)功能。但由于研究時間的限制,未具體觀察患者高血壓對各個靶器官的損害情況,以及針刺從長期來看對靶器官的確切保護作用。

Objective To investigate the effects of acupuncture on blood pressure and heart rate variability in patients with essential hypertension. Methods 60 hypertensive patients were selected to be treated with acupuncture for 30 days. Before and after acupuncture treatment, 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure and 24 hours Holter were detected. Results After acupuncture treatment, blood pressure variability indexes (24 h average systolic and diastolic blood pressure, standard deviations of 24 h systolic and diastolic blood pressure, standard deviations of systolic and diastolic blood pressure at daytime, standard deviations of systolic and diastolic blood pressure at night) were significantly lower than those before treatment (P<0.05). Compared with original level, heart rate variability indexes (standard deviation of all RR intervals, standard deviation of the averages of RR intervals in all 5-minute segments of the entire recording, standard deviation of difference between adjacent RR intervals, square root of the mean of the sum of the squares of difference between adjacent RR interval, percent of difference between adjacent RR intervals that are greater than 50 ms) were improved after acupuncture treatment (P<0.05 ). Conclusion Acupuncture treatment can significantly reduce blood pressure variability in patients with essential hypertension, and improve heart rate variability, which may improve the target organ damage in patients with hypertension.
