ABSTRACT
Objective Heightened nocturnal blood pressure (BP) may be attributed to the disruption of sleep, a condition worsened by alcohol ingestion. This study investigated the effects of acute alcohol ingestion on hemodynamics and sleep architecture in a young, healthy cohort of male. METHODS:
Subjects (n = 17) underwent acute alcohol ingestion reaching a breath alcohol content of 0.08. Each subject endured a battery of hemodynamic tests and had their sleep architecture and nocturnal blood pressure monitored pre- and post-ingestion.Results:
Systolic blood pressure (SBP) increased both 30 minutes and 12 hours after alcohol. Ambulatory nocturnal SBP significantly increased after alcohol compared to baseline measures. Minutes of total, rapid eye movement, and light sleep all increased after alcohol ingestion, while a decrease was observed for sleep latency.Conclusions:
An acute bout of heavy alcohol consumption may attenuate nocturnal BP dipping that, in turn, may hasten the progression of hypertension-related cardiovascular disease.Palavras-chave
