Abstract:
Objective To investigate the relationship between arterial elasticity and left ventricular twist in patients with essential hypertension (EH).Methods Sixty patients with EH who were treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of the Medical College of Shihezi University from October 2014 to June 2015 as the EH group,and 60 healthy persons in the same period as the control group.The systolic blood pressure (SBP),diastolic blood pressure (DBP),pulse pressure (PP) were measured.Ascending aortic systolic diameter,diastolic diameter were detected by ultrasonic technology.Aortic strain (AS),aortic stiffness (β) and aortic distensibility (AD) were calculated.Left ventricular basal peak rotation(PBR) and apical peak rotation(PAR) were detected by speckle tracking imaging(STI),and the left ventricular peak twist(Ptw) was calculateby.Results The β,PP and Ptw in EH group were 3.99±0.47,(74.2±10.4) mmHg and (21.73±2.30) °respectively,in the control group were 2.75 ± 0.27,(45.9 ± 5.1) mmHg and (14.04 ± 2.90) ° respectively,and the differences were significant(P=0.000).AS and AD in Eh group were 0.034±0.012,1.00±0.47 respectively,in the control group were 0.106 ± 0.028,4.69 ± 1.37 respectively,and the differences were significant (P =0.000).Pearson correlation analysis showed there were opsitive correlation between β with PBR,PAR and Ptw (correlation coefficient =0.361,0.719,0.730;P＜0.01 or P＜0.05),and negative correlation between AD with PBR,PAR and Ptw(correlation coefficient =-0.279,-0.625,-0.610;P＜0.01 or P＜0.05).Conclusion β,PP and Ptw are high,while AS,AD are poor in patient with EH,and there are associations between β,AD with PBR,PAR and Ptw.
