Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect of carvedilol and motoprolol on the weight of cardiac muscle in patients with hypertensive heart disease.Methods One hundred patients with hypertensive heart disease were divided into two groups by random number and treated with carvedilol(n =54) and motoprolol(n =46) respectively for 12 months.Data were recorded (left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDD),left ventricular end-systolic dimension (LVESD),left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF),interventricular septal thickness (IVST),and left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPWT)) before and after the treatment.Left ventricular muscle mass(LVW),left ventricular mass index(LVWI) were calculated.Results After treatment,both groups improved with declined LVEDD (motoprolol group:(43.60 ± 4.43) mm vs.(46.70 ± 3.21) mm,t =18.143,P ＜ 0.01 ; carvedilol group:(42.50 ± 2.56) mm vs.(46.5 ± 3.18) mm,t =18.232,P ＜ 0.01),thinner IVST (motoprolol group:(9.68 ± 1.65) mm vs.(12.01 ± 1.56) mm,t =12.785,P ＜ 0.01 ; carvedilol group:(9.05 ± 1.04) mm vs.(11.59 ± 1.54) mm,t =7.865,P ＜ 0.01),and increased LVEF (motoprolol group:(52.89 ± 8.78)％ vs.(50.23 ± 7.88)％; carvedilol group:(54.65 ± 8.87％)％ vs.(50.22 ±7.89)％).In the carvedilol treatment group,LVMI significantly (t =4.987,P ＜ 0.01) declined from (133.75 ±25.89) g/m2 to (109.25 ± 22.53) g/m2.In the motoprolol treatment group,LVMI declined from (134.76 ± 25.87) g/m2 to (119.78 ± 23.65.53) g/m2 (t =5.689,P ＜ 0.01).After the treatment,each index of carvedilol group improved significantly compared with metoprolol group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Both medications are able to reduce the weight of cardiac muscle of patients with hypertensive heart disease,and carvedilol is better than motoprolol.
