Serum Soluble ST2 and Diastolic Dysfunction in Hypertensive Patients
BACKGROUND Echocardiographic evaluation of left ventricular (LV) structural and functional alterations in hypertension has some limitations, potentially overcome by using biomarkers. ST2, a prognostic biomarker for heart failure and myocardial infarction patients, was less studied in hypertension. AIM To analyze the relationship between serum ST2 levels and diastolic dysfunction (DD) in hyper...
متن کاملLayer-specific systolic and diastolic strain in hypertensive patients with and without mild diastolic dysfunction
This study sought to examine layer-specific longitudinal and circumferential systolic and diastolic strain, strain rate (SR) and diastolic time intervals in hypertensive patients with and without diastolic dysfunction. Fifty-eight treated hypertensive patients were assigned to normal diastolic function (NDF, N = 39) or mild diastolic dysfunction (DD, N = 19) group. Layer-specific systolic and d...
متن کاملPrognostic Value of Soluble ST2 (sST2) Serum Levels in Infants and Children with Heart Failure Complicating Congenital Heart Disease
Background Heart failure (HF) in infants and children with congenital heart disease (CHD) is a crucial complication with different outcomes. Many biomarkers are used as prognostic indicators. Soluble ST2 (sST2) is one of these markers studied in adults with HF. We aimed to study the prognostic value of sST2 in CHD children with HF. Materials and Methods In current case-control study, thirty-six...
متن کاملHypertensive myocardial fibrosis and diastolic dysfunction: another model of inflammation?
Excessive myocardial fibrosis deteriorates diastolic function in hypertensive hearts. Involvement of macrophages is suggested in fibrotic process in various diseased situations. We sought to examine the role of macrophages in myocardial remodeling and cardiac dysfunction in pressure-overloaded hearts. In Wistar rats with suprarenal aortic constriction, pressure overload induced perivascular mac...
متن کاملThe prevalence of diastolic dysfunction in adult hypertensive nigerians.
SUMMARY INTRODUCTION The prevalence of hypertension ranges between 10 to 20% in Nigeria. Studies elsewhere have revealed left ventricular diastolic dysfunction to be highly prevalent in hypertension. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prevalence of diastolic dysfunction in adult hypertensive Nigerians. PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred and five (105) hypertensive patients, with ages ranging from 18 t...
