Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the influence of metabolic syndrome(MS) on the left ventricular hypertrophy in non-diabetic hypertensive patients.Methods A total of 321 essential hypertensives were included in which 134 patients were diagnosed as MS(EH+MS),187 patients with hypertension alone(EH) as controls.Left ventricular mass index(LVMI) and relative wall thickness(RWT) were determined by echocardiography.Results Compared with hypertension alone(EH) patients,hypertensive patients with MS(EH?MS) were shown to have greater end-diastolic left ventricular internal dimension(LVEDd),end-diastolic interventricular septum thickness (IVSD),end-diastolic posterior wall thickness(LVPWd) and left ventricular mass indexed(LVMI)(P0.05).Left ventricular mass index(LVMI) was strongly related with waist circumstance(r=0.692,P
