Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Cardiac function of patients with hypertension is impaired to various extents. How does the impairment level of cardiac function of patients with hypertension differ at various stages?OBJECTIVE: To observe cardiac function of patients with hypertension at various stages and compare the indexes with those of healthy people.DESIGN: Case-control and comparative observation.SETTING: Department of Special Treatment, General Hospital of Shenyang Military Area Command of the Chinese PLA.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 100 patients with hypertension were selected from the Internal Medicine Department of General Hospital of Shenyang Military Area Command of the Chinese PLA between October 2002 and May 2003. Among them, 30 cases of hypertension were at stage Ⅰ , 40 at stage Ⅱ and 30 at stage Ⅲ. At the same time period another 30 healthy people were selected as the control group. All the subjects signed the informed consent.METHODS: Cardiac function of the included subjects were detected with XJS-Ⅰ cardiac function testing equipment. Patients were tested at supine position and electrode was put on the basis of four-probe method.Breath was held at the end of expiration; meanwhile, lead electrocardiograph Ⅰ, cardiophonogram, cardiac admittance differential coefficient method and beating of carotid artery were recorded. Various indexes were processed with the computer. Detected indexes were heart rate, ejection prophase, ejection time of left ventricle, ejection prophase/ejection time of left ventricle, delay time of electro-machine, isovolumetric contraction time, isovolumetric contraction time/ejection time of left ventricle, time of pulse wave transmission, stroke volume, cardiac output, cardiac index,stress index of myocardial contraction, total peripheral resistance, and vascular compliance.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Comparison of cardiac function between hypertensive patients at various stages and healthy people.RESULTS: All the 100 patients with primary hypertension and 30healthy people entered the final analysis. [1] Ejection prophase, isovolumetric contraction time, peripheral resistance, ejection prophase/ejection time of left ventricle and isovolumetric contraction time/ejection time of left ventricle: Those of hypertensive patients were obviously longer or stronger than those of the healthy subjects (P ＜ 0.01); those of patients with hypertension at stages Ⅱ and Ⅲ were obviously longer or stronger than those of patients with hypertension at stage Ⅰ (P ＜ 0.01). [2] Stroke volume, cardiac output, stress index of myocardial contraction, vascular compliance, time of pulse wave transmission and cardiac index: Those of hypertensive patients were obviously shorter or weaker than those of the healthy subjects (P ＜ 0.01); those of patients with hypertension at stages Ⅱ and Ⅲ were obviously shorter or weaker than those of patients with hypertension at stage Ⅰ (P ＜ 0.01). Among the indexes mentioned above, vascular total peripheral resistance of hypertensive patients at stage Ⅲ was obviously stronger than that of hypertensive patients at stage Ⅱ (P ＜ 0.05),but vascular compliance of the latter ones was obviously than that of the former ones (P ＜ 0.05).CONCLUSION: Cardiac function of patients with hypertension is decreased as compared with that of healthy people, and tends to further decrease with the development of hypertensive condition.
