Association of mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin with office and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure in a Swiss general population sample.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Adrenomedullin (ADM) is a potent vasodilator. The association between plasma ADM levels and blood pressure (BP) remains unclear. We assessed the association between mid-regional-pro-ADM (MR-proADM) and BP in a multicenter population- and family-based cohort.

Methods

We used data from the Swiss Kidney Project on Genes in Hypertension (SKIPOGH). We included participants present at both baseline and 3-year follow-up (N = 843). We examined the association of baseline MR-proADM with baseline office and 24 h ambulatory BP as well as the 3-year change in office BP. In secondary analyses, we studied the association between baseline MR-proADM and 3-year changes in pulse wave velocity (PWV), renal resistive index (RRI) and augmentation index (AI).
