RESUMO
Objective To explore the correlation between left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and dynamic parameters of blood pressure as well as blood pressure variation in patients with essential hypertension (EH). Methods From January to September, 2013, 581 patients with EH were divided into hypertrophy group (n=161) and non-hypertrophy group (n=420) according to the left ventricular mass index (LV-MI). The clinical data, biochemical indexes and dynamic parameters of blood pressure were compared, and the multiple factors regression was used to analyze the risk factors of LVH. Results The incidence of LVH was higher in women than in men (χ2=4.836, P=0.03), the level of blood uric acid was higher in the hypertrophy group than in the non-hypertrophy group (t=-11.540, P2.770, P<0.05). Multi-factor Lo-gistic regression analysis showed that gender (OR=1.674, P=0.044) and 24-hour systolic blood pressure load (OR=1.021, P=0.003) associat-ed with LVH. Conclusion The occurrence of LVH in patients with EH was closely related to the 24-hour systolic blood pressure load, and was higher in women than in men.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the relationship between blood pressure parameters and cognitive impairment in elderly people.Methods 890 retired workes of Kailuan Coal Mine were surveyed with questionnaires.The cognitive function was evaluated by mini-mental state examination(MMSE).222 cognitive impairment patients were categorized as case group,668 healthy subjects served as control group.Blood pressure and the related indexs were determined.Results The systolic blood pressure(SBP),pulse pressure(PP)and pulse pressure index(PPI)in the case group were higher than control group(all P
