Endothelin-1 and nitrogen oxide metabolites in risk diagnostics of arterial hypertension in persons of young and middle ages occupied in harmful working conditions.

Hypertension is a global public health problem. One of the reasons contributing to the development of arterial hypertension is endothelial dysfunction, which is expressed in the imbalance of vasoactive indicators of vascular tone - nitrogen oxide and endothelin-1. Monitoring the indicators of endothelial dysfunction in workers exposed to harmful occupational factors will help to identify a risk group for the development of occupationally caused diseases of the cardiovascular system and, in particular, arterial hypertension, for early implementation of preventive measures. This study aims to identify the relationship between endothelin-1, nitrogen oxide metabolites and blood pressure in young and middle-aged people occupied in harmful working conditions, to evaluate the studied parameters as possible markers for diagnosing the risk of hypertension. Two hundred thirty-six (236) employees of young and middle age were examined of one of the metallurgical plants of the Nizhny Novgorod region. In order to characterize the state of vascular tone, a coefficient was used that represents the ratio of the concentration of nitrogen oxide (μmol/L) to endothelin-1 (pg/ml) (NOx/ET-1). It was revealed that in one-third of people with normal and high normal blood pressure, the NOx/ET-1 value was 2-3 times less than in people with optimal blood pressure, which indicates the occurrence of endothelial dysfunction and the possible development of persistent arterial hypertension. Harmful occupational factors negatively affect vascular tone - the value of NOx/ET-1 in individuals exposed to harmful factors was 3-4 times less than in individuals not subjected to such exposure. The NOx/ET-1 coefficient can be used as an informative indicator when monitoring health conditions with an in-depth examination of working people; it can be a criterion for the risk of developing hypertension.
