Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between subclinical left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction and ECG parameters in newly diagnosed hypertension patients. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, adults diagnosed with hypertension based on 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitor recordings were included. The patients were classified into two groups based on the presence of subclinical LV systolic dysfunction according to LV global longitudinal strain (LVGLS). Findings were compared between the two groups. Results: A total of 244 patients (female, 55.7%) were included. Based on LVGLS, 82 (33.6%) patients had subclinical LV systolic dysfunction. The proportion of early repolarization pattern (ERP) on ECG was significantly higher in patients with subclinical LV systolic dysfunction than in patients with normal LV systolic function [24 (28.6%) vs. 8 (5%), P < 0.001]. PR and corrected QT intervals were also significantly longer in patients with subclinical LV systolic dysfunction than in patients with normal LV systolic function [median (interquartile range), 148 (132–158) vs. 141 (127–152), P = 0.036 and 443 (427–459) vs. 431 (411–455), P = 0.007, respectively]. According to multivariate regression analysis ERP, early (E) wave velocity/late (A) wave velocity (E/A), and LV mass index were independently associated with subclinical LV systolic dysfunction. Conclusion: In newly diagnosed hypertension patients, the ERP on admission ECG could be a sign of subclinical systolic dysfunction.
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.
