The purpose of this work was to assess the best haemodynamic determinant of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with essential hypertension. We studied the relationships between left ventricular mass (LVM) and casual, exercise and 24h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in 60 newly discovered patients with mild to moderate essential hypertension. LVM was only weakly related to both casual and exercise blood pressure, while it was significantly related to average ABPM values. Diastolic hypertensive load, calculated as the percentage of diastolic measurements > 90 mmHg, was the best predictor of the development of LVH (r = 0.51, P < 0.001). Six of six patients with a diastolic load > 50% had LVH, whereas only two of 18 patients (11%) with a diastolic load < 10% had LVH (P < 0.001). In conclusion, in patients with mild to moderate essential hypertension, LVM is poorly related to both casual and exercise blood pressure, but is related to ABPM. Blood pressure load is the best determinant of LVH. These findings suggest that blood pressure load should be considered when analysing ABPM.

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. Blood Pressure, High,Blood Pressures, High,High Blood Pressure,High Blood Pressures
D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.
