COMPARAZIONE DELLE RELAZIONI DI DIFFERENTI DEFINIZIONI DI SINDROME METABOLICA CON L'IPERTROFIA VENTRICOLARE SX NELL'IPERTENSIONE ESSENZIALE
2009
Numerosi studi hanno dimostrato che la sindrome metabolica (SM), sia quando definita secondo i criteri dell'ATPIII, sia quando definita secondo i criteri dell'IDF, si associa ad un aumento della massa del ventricolo sx (VS). Tuttavia, non è noto se queste due differenti definizioni di SM abbiano la stessa capacità di identificare l'ipertrofia del VS (IVS) . Inoltre, una delle critiche mosse al concetto di SM è legata al fatto di essere una variabile dicotomica, limitando in tal modo la possibilità di definire la gravità del rischio cardiovascolare nel singolo paziente. Scopo del nostro studio è stato quello di valutare comparativamente la capacità di differenti definizioni di SM di identifi…

Left ventricular hypertrophy and geometry in hypertensive patients with chronic kidney disease.
2009
To evaluate the prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and left ventricular geometry in a group of 293 hypertensive patients with stage 2-5 chronic kidney disease (CKD), compared with 289 essential hypertensive patients with normal renal function.All patients underwent echocardiographic examination. Patients on stage 1 CKD, dialysis treatment, or with cardiovascular diseases were excluded.LVH was observed in 47.1% of patients with CKD and in 31.14% of essential hypertensive patients (P0.0001). We found increasingly higher left ventricular diameters, thicknesses, and mass from stage 2 to 5 CKD. Distribution of concentric and eccentric LVH was not different between the two groups. H…

Influence of Gender on the Relationships between Metabolic Syndrome and Left Ventricular Mass in Essential Hypertensive Subjects
2008
Although the definition and clinical importance of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) are still under debate [1], there is clear evidence that MetS considerably increases the risk of cardiovascular (CV) and renal events, in general population and also in subjects with high blood pressure (BP), even in absence of diabetes [2-5]. In some studies the CV morbidity and mortality risk associated with MetS was found to be higher in the female sex [3]. Several lines of evidence suggest that this enhanced CV risk may partially be mediated by the increased prevalence of preclinical CV and renal damage observed in individuals with the MetS [6-14]. Recently, the results of the Framingham Offspring study hig…
