Abstract
There is no detailed strain analysis of cardiac functions in treated hypertensive pediatric patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cardio-protective effects of different drug classes in treated pediatric hypertensive patients. Sixty non-obese-treated hypertensive patients with preserved left ventricular (LV) systolic function and 45 age-, sex-, and body mass index-matched healthy subjects underwent clinical evaluation, including 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, standard echocardiographic examination, tissue Doppler imaging, and two-dimensional Speckle Tracking Echocardiography. The patients were divided into two subgroups based on the effects of the drugs on the Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System. The subgroup hypertension (HT) 1 received angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker, and HT 2 subgroup received calcium channel blocker, β-blocker, or diuretics. There was no difference between the two groups and subgroups with respect to clinical, demographic, ABPM, ventricular volumes, ejection fraction, and tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) parameters. For patients and controls, respectively, global longitudinal strain was - 18.70 ± 3.41 versus - 21.01 ± 3.82 (P < 0.001), and global...Continue Reading
