Abstract

Background: Very few studies have focused on the correlation between structural heart disease and lower urinary tract symptoms. In this study, we applied echocardiography to explore the correlation between lower urinary tract symptoms and structural heart disease.

Methods: In this single-center, prospective, cross-sectional study, we enrolled adult women undergoing echocardiography for suspected cardiac abnormalities causing cardiac symptoms between February 1, 2021, and March 31, 2021. All participants completed a questionnaire regarding demographic information and lower urinary tract symptoms, which were assessed according to the International Prostate Symptom Score.

Results: A total of 165 women aged 69.96 ± 10.20 years were enrolled. The prevalence of moderate-to-severe aortic regurgitation in patients with moderate-to-severe lower urinary tract symptoms was significantly higher than that in patients with mild lower urinary tract symptoms (33.3% vs 13.6%, p = 0.008). The prevalence of other echocardiographic abnormalities was not associated with severity of lower urinary tract symptoms. Multivariable logistic regression analyses revealed that moderate-to-severe lower urinary tract symptoms predicted moderate-to-severe aortic regurgitation ( p = 0.007; odds ratio: 3.560; 95% confidence interval: 1.409-8.993). Furthermore, the International Prostate Symptom Score storage subscore ( p = 0.001; odds ratio: 1.285; 95% confidence interval: 1.111-1.486), except the voiding subscore, was an independent predictor of moderate-to-severe aortic regurgitation.

Conclusion: Moderate-to-severe lower urinary tract symptoms, especially storage symptoms, are an independent predictor of the co-existence of moderate-to-severe aortic regurgitation in women with cardiac symptoms. Early cardiological referral of patients with moderate-to-severe lower urinary tract symptoms and cardiac symptoms may improve their general health.

下尿路症状作为有心脏症状的女性主动脉瓣反流的独立预测因子

背景:很少有研究关注结构性心脏病与下尿路症状之间的关系。在本研究中，我们应用超声心动图探讨下尿路症状与结构性心脏病的相关性。方法:在这项单中心、前瞻性、横断面研究中，我们招募了在2021年2月1日至2021年3月31日期间因疑似心脏异常引起心脏症状而接受超声心动图检查的成年女性。所有参与者都完成了一份关于人口统计信息和下尿路症状的问卷，并根据国际前列腺症状评分进行评估。结果:共纳入165例女性，年龄69.96±10.20岁。中重度下尿路症状患者中重度主动脉瓣反流发生率显著高于轻度下尿路症状患者(33.3% vs 13.6%， p = 0.008)。其他超声心动图异常的发生率与下尿路症状的严重程度无关。多变量logistic回归分析显示，中度至重度下尿路症状预示中度至重度主动脉瓣反流(p = 0.007;优势比:3.560;95%置信区间:1.409-8.993)。此外，国际前列腺症状评分存储亚评分(p = 0.001;优势比:1.285;95%可信区间:1.111-1.486)，除排空评分外，是中度至重度主动脉瓣反流的独立预测因子。结论:中重度下尿路症状，特别是贮尿症状，是伴有心脏症状的女性并发中重度主动脉瓣反流的独立预测因子。中重度下尿路症状和心脏症状患者的早期心脏病转诊可改善其整体健康状况。

期刊介绍： Journal of the Chinese Medical Association, previously known as the Chinese Medical Journal (Taipei), has a long history of publishing scientific papers and has continuously made substantial contribution in the understanding and progress of a broad range of biomedical sciences. It is published monthly by Wolters Kluwer Health and indexed in Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), MEDLINE®, Index Medicus, EMBASE, CAB Abstracts, Sociedad Iberoamericana de Informacion Cientifica (SIIC) Data Bases, ScienceDirect, Scopus and Global Health. JCMA is the official and open access journal of the Chinese Medical Association, Taipei, Taiwan, Republic of China and is an international forum for scholarly reports in medicine, surgery, dentistry and basic research in biomedical science. As a vehicle of communication and education among physicians and scientists, the journal is open to the use of diverse methodological approaches. Reports of professional practice will need to demonstrate academic robustness and scientific rigor. Outstanding scholars are invited to give their update reviews on the perspectives of the evidence-based science in the related research field. Article types accepted include review articles, original articles, case reports, brief communications and letters to the editor
