Abstract:
Objective:To explore the correlation between homocysteine (Hcy) level and left ventricular diastolic func‐tion in patients with hypertension .Methods :A total of 121 enrolled patients with essential hypertension received plasma Hcy ,routine biochemical measurement and echocardiography examination .With Hcy=10 mmol/L as the di‐viding line ,patients were divided into H hypertension group (high Hcy group ,n=65) and hypertension with normal level group (normal Hcy group ,n=56) .Correlation between plasma Hcy level and left ventricular diastolic function was analyzed .Results:(1) H hypertension accounted for 53.7% ,male proportion in H hypertension group was sig‐nificantly higher than that of normal Hcy group (67.7% vs .37.5% , P<0.01);(2) Compared with normal Hcy group ,there were significant rise in left atrial diameter [LAD ,(34.4 ± 3.3) mm vs .(37.6 ± 5.4) mm] ,left ven‐tricular mass [LVM ,(183.5 ± 37.0) g vs .(205.6 ± 53.1) g] ,left ventricular mass index [LVMI ,(111.1 ± 19.2) g/m2 vs .(121.2 ± 31.8) g/m2 ] and transmitral early diastolic peak flow velocity/peak velocity of early diastolic mi‐tral annular motion [E/Em ,(8.4 ± 2.6) vs .(15.3 ± 7.4)] in H hypertension group ,P<0.05 or <0.01 ;(3) Pear‐son correlation analysis indicated that Hcy was positively correlated with LAD ,left ventricular end‐diastolic dimen‐sion (LVEDd) ,E/Em ,LVM and LVMI (r=0.247~0.620 , P<0.05 or <0.01);multi‐factor linear gradual re‐gression analysis found that plasma Hcy level ,was influencing factors for E/Em (P=0.529 ,t=7.599 ,P<0.05) . Conclusion:There is a significant positive correlation between plasma homocysteine level and left ventricular diastolic function insufficiency in patients with hypertension .More attention is required for detection of plasma homocysteine level in clinic .
