Abstract:
Objective To investigate the relationship between day-night rhythm of blood pressure and left ventricular hypertrophy(LVH) in the elderly with hypertension. Methods According to the result of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring,60 patients were divided into two groups of normal day-night rhythm(n=34) and abnormal day-night rhythm(n=26).All patients were performed ultrasonic cardiography.The interventricular septal thickness(IVST),the left ventricular end diastolic dimension(LVDd)and the left ventricular posterior wall thickness(LVPWT) were recorded,and the left ventricular mass(LVM) and the left ventricular mass index(LVMI) were calculated according to the Devereux formula. Results There were no significant differences in age,body mass index,serum total cholesterol,triglyceride,fasting blood glucose,24 h mean systolic blood pressure,24 h mean diastolic blood pressure,day time mean systolic blood pressure,day time mean diastolic blood pressure,IVST and LVDd between the the two groups.However,there were significant differences in night time mean systolic blood pressure,night time mean diastolic blood pressure,LVPWT,LVM and LVMI between the two groups(P
