Abstract:
Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of serum soluble semaphorin 4D (sSema4D) and soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L) in left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with primary hypertension (EH).Methods:Eighty-four patients with EH combined with LVH admitted to Qingdao Hospital of Shandong First Medical University from December 2022 to December 2023 were prospectively selected as the study group, and 84 patients with EH and without LVH admitted to Qingdao Hospital of Shandong First Medical University during the same period were regarded as the control group. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was applied to detect the levels of sSema4D and sCD40L. Employing Pearson correlation coefficient, the study assessed the association between concentrations of sSema4D and sCD40L in serum and various echocardiographic measurements. A multivariate Logistic regression model was engaged to probe into the contributing factors for the development of LVH. ROC curve was plotted to analyze the diagnostic value of serum sSema4D and sCD40L for EH combined with LVH.Results:Serum sSema4D and sCD40L levels were significantly higher in the study group than in the control group: (8.56 ± 2.19) μg/L vs. (5.12 ± 1.43) μg/L, (4.02 ± 1.03) μg/L vs. (3.22 ± 0.98) μg/L, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The duration of hypertension, LVEDD, IVSTD, LVPWT, and LVMI were significantly higher in the study group than in the control group: (7.33 ± 1.53) years vs. (4.26 ± 1.35) years, (50.28 ± 3.33) mm vs. (44.45 ± 3.76) mm, (11.64 ± 3.21) mm vs. (9.53 ± 2.89) mm, (12.45 ± 1.52) mm vs. (9.13 ± 0.98) mm, (126.11 ± 15.28) g/m 2 vs. (81.15 ± 11.31) g/m 2, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). According to Pearson correlation analysis, it was known that both serum sSema4D and sCD40L were positively correlated with LVEDD, IVSTD, LVPWT and LVMI ( r = 0.425 and 0.533, 0.612 and 0.436, 0.513 and 0.628, 0.589 and 0.618; P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension duration, LVEDD, IVSTD, LVPWT, LVMI, sSema4D, sCD40L were risk factors for LVH in EH patients ( P<0.05). According to the ROC curve, the AUC for diagnosing EH combined with LVH with serum sSema4D was 0.848, the AUC for diagnosing EH combined with LVH with serum sCD40L was 0.725, and the AUC for diagnosing EH combined with LVH with serum sCD40L was 0.888, the combination of sCD40L and sCD40L was superior to their respective individual diagnoses ( Z = 2.651 and 2.526, P<0.05). Conclusions:The serum levels of sSema4D and sCD40L in patients with EH combined with LVH are obviously elevated, which are influencing factors for the occurrence of EH combined with LVH. Combined testing of the two has high diagnostic value for EH combined with LVH.
