Abstract
Objective: Limited and conflicting data have been reported on the prognostic relevance of central blood pressure (CBP) compared with brachial blood pressure (BP) in the anticipation of hypertension-mediated organ damage and the majority of data derived using applanation tonometry with its known complexities. The objective of the present study was to investigate the diagnostic factors of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) with a special highlight on the utility of non-invasive oscillometric CBP measurement and derived hemodynamic indices compared to brachial BP as indicators of LVH.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 300 hypertensive patients (mean age 55.3 years, 61.3% female, 51.7% obese) with a mean duration of hypertension was 5.8 years. They underwent measurement of brachial BP, using a mercury sphygmomanometer, and CBP, using a Mobil-O-Graph, alongside the determination of left ventricular (LV) mass by two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography. LVH and LV geometric patterns were defined by LV mass index/height 2.7 and relative wall thickness.
Results: Bivariate then multivariate analysis showed that age, BMI, central systolic BP (SBP), and pulse wave velocity (PWV) were significant determinants of LVH and optimally controlled brachial BP was a significant negative determinant for LVH. Central SBP had an acceptable diagnostic performance to determine LVH in patients with hypertension (AUC = 0.722, 95% confidence interval: 0.618-0.824, SE = 0.21, P -value <0.001). Using one-way ANOVA, a comparison of means among age groups showed that the steady increase in central SBP and PWV with aging was greater among LVH patients than non-LVH patients.
Conclusion: Estimated central SBP using Mobil-O-Graph showed a significantly higher correlation to LVH than brachial SBP values. The consistent increase in central SBP and PWV with aging was greater among LVH patients than non-LVH patients.
期刊介绍：
Blood Pressure Monitoring is devoted to original research in blood pressure measurement and blood pressure variability. It includes device technology, analytical methodology of blood pressure over time and its variability, clinical trials - including, but not limited to, pharmacology - involving blood pressure monitoring, blood pressure reactivity, patient evaluation, and outcomes and effectiveness research.
This innovative journal contains papers dealing with all aspects of manual, automated, and ambulatory monitoring. Basic and clinical science papers are considered although the emphasis is on clinical medicine.
Submitted articles undergo a preliminary review by the editor. Some articles may be returned to authors without further consideration. Those being considered for publication will undergo further assessment and peer-review by the editors and those invited to do so from a reviewer pool.
