Impact of abdominal obesity and ambulatory blood pressure in the diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy in never treated hypertensives.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The principal objective was to assess the prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in hypertensive, never treated patients, depending on adjustment for body surface or height. Secondary objectives were to determine geometric alterations of the left ventricle and to analyze the interdependence of hypertension and obesity to induce LVH. PATIENTS AND METHODS Cro...
متن کاملCircadian variation of blood pressure and heart rate in normotensives, white-coat, masked, treated and untreated hypertensives.
INTRODUCTION Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) forms the basis for the diagnosis of masked hypertension, a condition associated with increased target organ damage, and of white-coat hypertension, a common condition among subjects referred to hypertensive centers. The aim of this study was to compare the circadian blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) profiles in 1676 Greek subjects ...
متن کاملRelationship between left ventricular geometric pattern and systolic and diastolic function in treated Nigerian hypertensives
INTRODUCTION Despite a high worldwide prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy among black patients, the association of a specific left ventricular geometric pattern with left ventricular dysfunction is rare. The aim of this study was to explore the possibility of such an association in Nigerian hypertensives. METHODS This was a retrospective study consisting of 188 treated hypertensives. E...
متن کاملEvaluation of left ventricular diastolic function in hypertensives
Background: Recently much of attention is focused on the diastolic function of the heart. Since the systolic performance of the heart in hypertensive patients has been examined so far, but the study of the diastolic function of heart has emerged as a newer mode of study. Aim: To study non-invasively the diastolic function of left ventricle in patients with systemic hypertension. Materials and m...
متن کاملAdiponectin is Not Associated With Blood Pressure in Normotensives and Untreated Hypertensives With Normal Kidney Function
The role of adiponectin in hypertension is still a matter of debate. Obtained conflicting results could be mostly explained with diversity of subjects included in different studies. Our aim was to analyze association of adiponectin with blood pressure (BP) in a group of normotensive and untreated hypertensive subjects. Participants (N=257) were selected from a random sample of 2487 subjects enr...
