Absence of an independent association between serum uric acid and left ventricular mass in Caucasian hypertensive women and men

2013

Background and aim: Experimentally uric acid may induce cardiomyocyte growth and interstitial fibrosis of the heart. However, clinical studies exploring the relationship between serum uric acid (SUA) and left ventricular (LV) mass yielded conflicting results. The aim of our study was to evaluate the relationships between SUA and LV mass in a large group of Caucasian essential hypertensive subjects. Methods and results: We enrolled 534 hypertensive patients free of cardiovascular complications and without severe renal insufficiency. In all subjects routine blood chemistry, including SUA determination, echocardiographic examination and 24 h ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring were obtai…

[PP.07.19] ASSOCIATION OF MAXIMUM SPEED OF BLOOD PRESSURE RISE DURING 24-H ABPM WITH SUBCLINICAL RENAL DAMAGE IN ESSENTIAL HYPERTENSION

2017

Objective: Experimental studies documented that the mechanical injury of intravascular pressure on the vessel wall, which results in vascular remodelling and atherosclerosis, may be more closely associated to oscillatory than to steady laminar shear stress This suggests that the hypertensive patient's prognosis may depend not only on average BP level but also on the degree and rate of BP variation. Little is known about the relationships between early renal abnormalities and the rate of BP changes assessed by intermittent 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM). Our study was aimed to analyse the relationships between subclinical renal damage (SRD), defined as the presence of microalbuminuria …
