Abstract

Introduction: Arterial blood pressure, an important physiological parameter has great etiological significance in epidemiology of cardiovascular disease due to its association with age, height, weight, diet, stress, socioeconomic status. Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are ubiquitous reactive derivatives of O2 metabolism found in the environment and in all biological systems. ROS are implicated in many intracellular signaling pathways leading to changes in gene transcription and protein synthesis and consequently in cell function. Within the cardiovascular system, ROS play a crucial physiological role in maintaining cardiac and vascular integrity and a pathophysiological role in cardiovascular dysfunction associated with several clinical conditions, including hypertension. ROS is generated by psychological and physical stress they are involved in the cardiovascular dysfunctions and also in the male and female infertility, therefore it is hypothesised that the blood pressure may be one of the cardiovascular parameter that may be affected in both the partners of the couples suffering with unexplained infertility. Therefore, this study was undertaken to assess the blood pressure in both partners of the couples with unexplained infertility and to compare the blood pressure in both the partners. Materials and Methods: The blood pressure was recorded using the standard auscultatory technique in both the partners of 50 couples with unexplained infertility and having all the investigations within normal limits. The data obtained was analyzed statistically using student’s ttest. Results: The mean age of the male partners was 33.1±7.4 years and female partners was 31.3±3.6 years. The significant increase in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was observed in the male partners. Conclusions: The male partners of the couples with unexplained infertility have elevated blood pressure as compared to the female partners.
