          Abstract

          OBJETIVO: Avaliar a influência do antecedente familiar de hipertensão arterial sistêmica (HASF) sobre o efeito do estresse do trabalho em bombeiros militares comunicantes (BMC), através da monitorização ambulatorial da pressão arterial (MAPA). MÉTODOS: Estudo prospectivo caso-controle. Foi realizada a MAPA em 66 BMC saudáveis, durante 12 horas de trabalho na central de comunicações (CC), sendo 34 filhos de hipertensos (grupo 1) e 32 filhos de normotensos (grupo 2). RESULTADOS: O grupo 1 diferiu do grupo 2, pois apresentou, no trabalho, maiores médias sistólicas (134,1 ± 9,9 mmHg X 120,8 ± 9,9 mmHg p < 0,0001) e diatólicas (83,8 ± 8,3 mmHg X 72,9 ± 8,6 mmHg p < 0,001) e maiores cargas sistólicas (31,4 ± 25,6 % X 9,4 ± 9,4 % p = 0,0001) e diastólicas (28,3 ± 26,6 % X 6,1 ± 8,9 % p = 0,0001). A prevalência de hipertensão arterial sistêmica (HAS) no grupo 1, no trabalho, foi de 32,3 %. Estes indivíduos, monitorados fora do trabalho, normalizaram a pressão arterial (hipertensos funcionais). O grupo 2 revelou pressão arterial (PA) normal no trabalho. CONCLUSÃO: A pressão arterial mais elevada em BMC filhos de hipertensos é explicada de maneira independente pela HASF e aqueles que desenvolveram HAS durante o turno de trabalho na CC, podem ser considerados hipertensos funcionais, enquanto, os BMC filhos de normotensos, submetidos ao estresse psicológico, estão livres de alterações na pressão arterial.

          OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the influence of family history of systemic arterial hypertension (FSAH) on the effect of stress from work in Uniformed Firefighters (BMCs) through Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM). METHODS: A prospective case-control study. Sixty-six healthy BMC underwent ABPM during 12 hours of work at the Communication Center (CC). Thirty-four had hypertensive parents (group 1) and thirty-two had normotensive parents (group 2). RESULTS: Group I differed from group 2 in that it showed higher mean systolic (134.1 ± 9.9 mmHg X 120.8 ± 9.9 mmHg p < 0.0001) and diastolic (83.8 ± 8.3 mmHg X 72.9 ± 8.6 mmHg p < 0.001) blood pressure, in addition to greater systolic (31.4 ± 25.6 % X 9.4 ± 9.4 % p = 0.0001) and diastolic (28.3 ± 26.6 % X 6.1 ± 8.9 % p = 0.0001) loads. The prevalence of systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) in group 1 at the workplace was 32.3%. Monitored away from the job, these subjects showed normal blood pressure (functionally hypertensive). Group 2 revealed normal blood pressure (BP) at work. CONCLUSION: Higher blood pressure in BMC with hypertensive parents is explained independently by the SAH. Subjects who developed SAH during their work at the CC may be considered functionally hypertensive, whereas those with normotensive parents and who underwent psychological stress are free of blood pressure changes.
