Abstract:
Objective To observe the influence of metabolic syndrome(MS)on the left ventricular hypertrophy(LVH)in the essential hypertension(EH)patients.Methods 76 EH patients in middle to advanced ages were selected.Clinical examinations including blood pressure,serum lipid,plasma glucose and body mass index(BMI)were performed.The patients were divided into EH group and essential hypertension with HMS group.The left ventricular posterior wall thickness(LVPW),the left ventricular end diastolic dimension(LVDd),and interventricular septal thickness(IVS)were detected.The left ventricular mass index(LVMI)was calculated after Doppler and 30 controls were observed.Results LVPW,IVS,LVDd,LVMI and the rate of LVH were obviously higher in EH patients than that in the controlS(P＜0.05),and these were also higher in HMS than that in the controls and the EH patients(P＜0.01).Conclusions The degree of the left ventricular hypertrophy in EH patients with metabolic syndrome is more severe than that in EH patients.
