Association of adiponectin with left ventricular mass in blacks: the Jackson Heart Study.
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND Blacks have a higher prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy than whites. Several population-based studies have reported an inverse association between adiponectin and left ventricular mass (LVM); however, the relationship between adiponectin levels and LVM has yet to be defined in blacks. The Jackson Heart Study cohort provides an opportunity to test the hypothesis that the inverse association between adiponectin and LVM may be modified by risk factors common among blacks. METHODS AND RESULTS The study population included 2649 black Jackson Heart Study participants (mean age 51±12 years, 63% women, 51% obese, 54% with hypertension, and 16% with diabetes). Multiple linear and spline regression was used to assess the association, with adjustment for demographic, clinical, and behavioral covariates. Among all the participants, there was a statistically significant but modest inverse association between adiponectin and LVM index. Hypertension and insulin resistance emerged as statistically significant effect modifiers of this relationship. The inverse association present among the normotensive participants was explained by obesity measures such as the body mass index. Among participants with both hypertension and insulin resistance, there was a significant direct association between adiponectin and the LVM index after multivariable adjustment (β=1.55, P=0.04, per 1-SD increment in the adiponectin log value). CONCLUSIONS The association between serum adiponectin and LVM among blacks in the Jackson Heart Study cohort was dependent on hypertension and insulin resistance status. Normotensive blacks exhibited an inverse adiponectin-LVM association, whereas participants with hypertension and insulin resistance had a direct association.

The Correlation between Left and Right Ventricular Ejection Fractions in Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease, Documented by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Introduction: The correlation between right and left ventricular ejection fractions (RVEF and LVEF, respectively) has been studied in only a small number of patients with a marked decrease in RVEF and LVEF. The aim of the present study was to compare LVEF and RVEF in patients with ischemic heart disease. RVEF and LVEF were measured by Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) imaging. Materials a...
متن کاملLeft ventricular hypertrophy is more common in black than white hypertensives: is this news?
It is often stated that left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is more common in blacks than in whites.1,2 Given that hypertension and hypertensive complications such as stroke and end-stage renal disease are more common in blacks than whites,3 it would be surprising if LVH was also not more common in blacks. Why then is the study by Kizer4 in this issue of Hypertension newsworthy? First, it is imp...
متن کاملIdeal Cardiovascular Health, Cardiovascular Remodeling, and Heart Failure in Blacks
Blacks have a disproportionately higher risk and earlier onset of heart failure (HF) and cardiovascular mortality, relative to the overall American population. A prime contributor to this racial disparity is a higher prevalence and earlier onset of cardiometabolic disease, including obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and physical inactivity. Professional guidelines reinforcing ideal card...

BACKGROUND Abnormal diurnal blood pressure (BP), including nondipping patterns, assessed using ambulatory BP monitoring, have been associated with increased cardiovascular risk among white and Asian adults. We examined the associations of BP dipping patterns (dipping, nondipping, and reverse dipping) with cardiovascular target organ damage (left ventricular mass index and left ventricular hyper...
