Prognosis of inappropriate left ventricular mass in hypertension: the MAVI Study.
نویسندگان
چکیده
To evaluate the prognostic impact of left ventricular (LV) mass exceeding individual needs to compensate hemodynamic load, the percentage of excess of echocardiographic LV mass in relation to individual ideal value predicted by gender, stroke work, and height (in meter(2.7)) from a reference population was assessed in 1019 white hypertensives (627 women [24% obese] and 392 men [17% obese, P<0.02 versus women]) without prevalent cardiovascular disease or type 1 diabetes, from the Italian multicenter, prospective study MAVI. Low LV mass (<73% of predicted) was found in 36 patients (3.5%), 661 had appropriate LV mass, and 322 (37%) had inappropriate LV mass. During follow-up (35+/-11 months), 52 fatal or nonfatal primary cardiovascular events occurred. Age, systolic blood pressure, and LV mass as a percentage of the predicted value were significant predictors of cardiovascular events (all P<0.01), independently of gender, glycemia, antihypertensive treatments, and body mass index, even in subgroups with or without LV hypertrophy. Survival analysis showed that cardiovascular risk increased stepwise from the lowest to the highest quintile of LV mass as a percentage of predicted value (P<0.01). The excess LV mass showed incremental prognostic value compared with assessment of traditional LV mass (P<0.01). Thus, inappropriate LV mass predicts a risk of cardiovascular events, independently of risk factors, and remains a significant predictor of risk either in the presence or in the absence of traditionally defined LV hypertrophy.

Association of increased plasma cardiotrophin-1 with inappropriate left ventricular mass in essential hypertension.
Inappropriate left ventricular mass is present when the value of left ventricular mass exceeds individual needs to compensate hemodynamic load imposed by increased blood pressure. The goal of this study was to investigate whether plasma concentration of cardiotrophin-1, a cytokine that induces exaggerated hypertrophy in cardiomyocytes with hypertensive phenotype, is related to inappropriate lef...

Objective: The present study investigated the effects of 10-week High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and quercetin consumption on dimension and functional left ventricular adaptations in men with hypertension and coronary artery disease (CAD) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Materials and Methods: In this semi-experimental randomized, placebo‑controlled and double‑blind s...
متن کاملCoronary vasodilator capacity and hypertension-induced increase in left ventricular mass.
An increase in left ventricular mass represents a compensatory response of hypertensive heart to augmented loading conditions. The concept of inappropriate mass has been proposed to define an increase in left ventricular mass higher than needed to compensate for increased workload. To assess whether inappropriate left ventricular mass is associated with more severe impairment of coronary vasodi...
متن کاملEchocardiographic assessment of inappropriate left ventricular mass and left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with diastolic dysfunction
BACKGROUND Early diagnosis of left ventricular mass (LVM) inappropriateness and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) can result in preventing diastolic left ventricular dysfunction and its related morbidity and mortality. This study was performed to determine if diastolic dysfunction is associated with LVH and inappropriate LVM. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and twenty five uncomplicated hy...
متن کاملNon-Dipper and Inappropriate Left Ventricular Mass in Hypertensive Patients
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) provides a lot of information on diurnal blood pressure (BP) profiles. In most of the population, night time BP values are 10-20% lower than day time BP values (dipper), whereas in the minority of the population, the nocturnal BP decrease is blunted or even absent (non-dipper). The non-dipper phenotype has been shown to be highly prevalent in various ...
