STUDY OBJECTIVE: African Americans (AAs) show early signs of vascular dysfunction paired with elevated blood pressure (BP) and total peripheral resistance (TPR), which is thought to underlie their increased rates of cardiovascular health complications relative to European Americans (EAs). AAs paradoxically have higher cardiac vagal tone, indexed by heart rate variability (HRV), which is cardio-protective. This paradox has been termed the Cardiovascular Conundrum. The physiological mechanism underlying this phenomenon is not well understood. We examined race differences in baroreflex function, which might be an important mechanism underlying the Cardiovascular Conundrum.
DESIGN: Participants completed a 5-minute baseline period where resting cardiac metrics were assessed.
SETTING: Laboratory.
PARTICIPANTS: 130 college-aged individuals (54 women, 57 AAs).
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Baroreflex function was indexed as baroreflex sensitivity (BRS; the magnitude of changes in cardiovascular activity in accordance with BP changes) and effectiveness (BEI; the ratio of BP changes that elicit changes in cardiovascular activity) in the cardiac, vascular, and myocardial limbs.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Results showed AAs to have higher HRV and cardiac BRS in comparison to EAs, suggesting the baroreflex is more sensitive to correcting the heart period for changes in BP among AAs compared to EAs. However, AAs showed lower vascular BEI relative to EAs, suggesting less effective control of TPR. In sum, lower BEI in the vascular branch might be an important mechanism underlying the Cardiovascular Conundrum (i.e., higher HRV and BP) and by extension, health disparities in cardiovascular diseases between AAs and EAs.
