ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
We investigated whether prehypertensives (PHs) exhibit more prevalent electrocardiographic and echocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy (ECG LVH) and if they are are more associated with impaired left ventricular (LV) diastolic function than are normotensives (NTs). SUBJECTS ANDMETHODS:
A total of 608 subjects> or = 40 years of age with normal BP (SBP<120 mmHg and DBP<80 mmHg, n=335) and PH (n=273) and who were without a history of hypertension, diabetes and any other known cardiovascular diseases underwent blood sampling for obtaining the lipid profile, and they also underwent 12-lead electrocardiography and echocardiography.RESULTS:
Compared with the NTs, the PHs had significantly higher Sokolow-Lyon and Cornell voltage for ECG LVH, and they ahd a higher prevalence of ECG LVH (men 16.9% vs 5.9%, women 2.0% vs 1.0%, respectively). The PHs had a more increased left ventricular mass index (LVMI, Men 118.1+/-24.4 g/m2 vs 102.0+/-19.1 g/m2, p=0.02; Women 117.5+/-26.4 g/m2 vs 101.9+/-30.7 g/m2, p=0.02) and a more decreased LV diastolic function (E/A, Men 1.14+/-0.6 vs 1.30+/-0.4, p=0.03; Wemen 1.11+/-0.6 vs 1.25+/-0.5, p=0.03) on echocardiography than the NTs.CONCLUSION:
The PHs were associated with a higher prevalence of ECG LVH and a more increased LVMI on echocardiography than that of the NTs. Therefore, we should pay earlier attention to diagnose and screen the pre-hypertensive group.
