To study the relation between left ventricular geometric alteration and extracardiac target organ damage in hypertensive patients. A retrospective study of 298 patients with essential hypertension was performed. Left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and relative wall thickness (RWT) were calculated using echocardiographic data. Patients were divided into four groups based on their left ventricular geometric pattern as determined using LVMI and RWT. Each of the four left ventricular geometric patterns was associated with a different degree of extracardiac organ damage. In multivariate analysis, LVMI and RWT showed strong, significant correlation to retinal changes and increases in serum creatinine levels, respectively. Alteration of left ventricular geometry resulted in an increase in the degree of extracardiac target organ damage. Echocardiographic classification of left ventricular geometry can further stratify hypertensive patients according to risk, and possibly according to the indications for intensive treatment.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more.

D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D012160 Retina The ten-layered nervous tissue membrane of the eye. It is continuous with the OPTIC NERVE and receives images of external objects and transmits visual impulses to the brain. Its outer surface is in contact with the CHOROID and the inner surface with the VITREOUS BODY. The outer-most layer is pigmented, whereas the inner nine layers are transparent. Ora Serrata
D001806 Blood Urea Nitrogen The urea concentration of the blood stated in terms of nitrogen content. Serum (plasma) urea nitrogen is approximately 12% higher than blood urea nitrogen concentration because of the greater protein content of red blood cells. Increases in blood or serum urea nitrogen are referred to as azotemia and may have prerenal, renal, or postrenal causes.
