TIME.DEPENDENT STRUCTURE & CONTROL OF ARTERIAL BP
INTRODUC'rlON:
Cardiovascular diseases constitute the leadin.g causes of dea-th~ff-~a~ United States: far beyond
the ~number of
deaths due to cancer, Approximately one.half the-cardiovascular, deaths is a consequence of high
blood
pressure (BP) (1).~ Thus, hypertension constitu'tesa significant medical and. social problem. !t is
the subject
of an extensive amount Of basic research devoted to mechanisms as well as clinical trials of
medications
devoted to its control. Although meaningful advances have oc.eurred in understanding the physiology
of BP
regulation by neural, cardiovascular, renal, and hormonal mechanisms, our work is far from complete.
Research into themeehanisms of BP maintenance in health and disease states such as hypertension is
.also
being strongly pursued. On the other hand, the facets and mechanisms 6f BP regulation in relation to
time,
especially in relationship to parahologieal and therapeutic implications, have received comparably
little scientific
attention until recently.
It, has become increasingly evident, especially through the applieation of ambulatory BP monitoring
technology
(2), that BP varies in a time-dependent fashion; the temporal organization of BP variability
.encompasses a
number of factors and mechanisms with specific time courses. Most scientists have focused on
.circadian (24-
hour) and to some extent seasonal components of BP variability. Others have been concerned with
ultradian
components having periodicities of less than 24 hours (4-6). Recently, there has been an
appreciation of the
analogous temporal structure of cardiovascular ~funetions as it relates to temporal patterns in
pathological
cardiovascular events (for review see ref. 7). In this regard, there has been a surge of scientific
interest in.the
field of medical chronobiology as it pertains to cardiovascular disease, including hype~___.m~.on.
Moreover,
there is growing appreciation for the role of circadian and other rhythms on the pharmacokinetics
(chronokinetics) and pharmacodynamics (chronesthesy) of antihypermnsive medications. Intriguingly
enough,
the time course of drug absorption and distribution need not coincide.withthe time course of drug
effects on.
BP (7). This phenomenon, which is referred to chronesthesy, infers that drug effect is not simply a
result of
drug concentration per se: it can be dependent on a set of mechanisms which are also variable in
time and
which-determine therapeutic results. A fascinating newfield of research known as chronopharmacology
(the
study of biological rhythms and medications) has great clinical relevance, considering the
aforementioned
medical and social impacts of hypertension and cardiovascular accidents which all exhibit very
.specific time
patterns.
The investigation of BP regulation and. the underlying mechanisms must include the role of
biological rhythms.
and other temporal factors which are influential. The results of such studies have clinical
implications,
especially in regard to the optimization of therapeutic interventions by timing antihypertensive
medications to
circadian or other biological rhythms .(chronotherapeutics). Complete understanding of the
chronobiologic and
other mechanisms of BP rhythms in essential or secondary hypertension .is still sought. Interest in
the
chronotherapy of hypertension is only in its infant. The conference which is being held. in Ferrara,
Italy
September, 1995 is intended to stimulate multi-disciplinary scientific inquiry into the
ehronobiology .and
chronotherapy of hypertension. ~The proceedings of the New York Academy of Sciences conference,
"Time,
Dependent Structure and Control of Arterial Blood Pressure" is anticipated to have broad appeal
since the
subject matter explores topics of certain interest to both basic and applied scientists -
physiologists,
pharmacologists, clinicians, epidemiologis~, biostatisticians, drug delivery and other
pharmaceutical scientists
plu.~.~egu!at0ry personnel.
CONFERENCE TOPICS AND ISSUES:
Five important topics and issues are to be addressed in depth at during the conference.

• FORMAT OF THE CONFERENCE:
The conferen~ will be divided into five separa~ sessions to cover the above topics. ,Neural
mechanisms of"
BP rhythms will be discussed in Session I instead~of Session II only for practical reasons, i.e, to
leave
adequa~. =ime for be. evening poser sess.ion~s).. A call for abstracts will be issued for this
purpose, and
submission from young investigators new to the field will be encouraged. Prominent scientis~ from
the five
comin~nL~ (7. 0f~26 young and 3 women inves:igamrs) have agreed, m contribute oral presemations and
manuscripts to the proceedings. The proposed agenda of the September, 1993 meeting is appended..The
proceedings and postsrabstracts will be publishcd in a future volume of the Annals of the New. York
Academy
of Sciences distributed worldwide to over 700 institutional libraries and also offered to the
Academy's 35,000

RELATED N~.ETINGS: ......
To our knowledge, during the last
{'1992) and the Sixth .(199~,) Inmrnmional Conference of Chronopharra~ology and Chronothempeudcs
which
took place at the~ Amelia Island Plantation Confer~nce Center, near .lm:~onville, Florida. under
the.auspices
of the Inmmational Society of Chronobioiogy, addressed the chronopharmacology and ~chronoff~empy of
antihyperrensive medications to a limi~d degree. Only marginal consideration .wa.~ given to the
issues of BP
rhythms and their control. The Society for Research on Biological Pdiythrm has also been gathering
in Am*-tia
Island for it~ biannual meeting, in 1992 and 1994, focusing mainly on non-.clinical aspecr.~ of
chronobioto.gy.-
The meetings of the societies of hypermnsion and related fields, do include BP monitoring and/or BP
control:
however-~ the conference we propose is unique in its being focused not .only on BP monitoring and BP
variability, but on the specific matmrs and mechanisms relating to the chronobiology and
ehronotherapeuti:s
of BP and hypertension. In conclusion, no other meeting ,or session held. during the last .three
year5 (or
scheduled for next year) has addressed the conference .topic. Hence, researchers from various
discipiin~s
concerned with BP regulation and hypertension should .find this conference unique~ and of great
scientific
interest.
