ABSTRACT
Objective:
It is of positive significance for clinical management to infer the changes of BPV and blood Hcy in the risk of cardiovascular disease progression in patients with hypertension by ambulatory blood pressure test. We aimed to explore the correlation of homocysteine and blood pressure variability with left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with hypertension and carotid atherosclerosis.Methods:
A total of 333 elderly hypertensive patients admitted to Jinniu District People's Hospital in Chengdu from February 2020 to December 2021 were selected as the study subjects. They were divided into the pure hypertension group and hypertension combined with the carotid atherosclerosis group. In addition, the two groups were divided into the hypertension combined with left ventricular remodeling subgroup and the hypertension without left ventricular remodeling subgroup. Plasma Hcy levels were measured on a BECKMAN AU 680 automated biochemistry analyzer. Ambulatory blood pressure was measured by HINGMED ABP-03 monitoring system. IMT measurement was performed using a GE LOGIQ E9 ultrasound. Left ventricular diastolic function measurement was performed using a GE LOGIQ E9 ultrasound.Results:
Blood Hcy, 24-h mean SBP, 24-h mean DBP, 24-h SBP coefficient of variation, and 24-h DBP coefficient of variation were significantly higher in hypertension combined with the carotid atherosclerosis group than the pure hypertension group (P < .05). Moreover, LVMI, E/A, and E/e were greater in the carotid atherosclerosis group than in the normal carotid group (P < .05). IMT, blood Hcy, 24-h mean SBP, 24-h mean DBP, 24-h SBP coefficient of variation, 24-h DBP coefficient of variation, E/A, and E/e were significantly higher in the hypertensive combined with left ventricular remodeling subgroup than in the non-left ventricular remodeling subgroup (P < .05). IMT was positively correlated with blood Hcy, 24-h SBP, 24-h DBP, 24-h SCV, 24-h DCV, LVMI, E/A, and E/e (P < .05).Conclusion:
There was a position correlation of Hcy and BPV with left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with hypertension combined with carotid atherosclerosis.
