Abstract

To assess the role of blood pressure in the association between cigarette smoking and left ventricular mass in male and female subjects with essential hypertension. A case-control study with matching ratio of 1:4. We studied 115 heavy smokers (> or = 20 cigarettes/day; 91 men) and 460 non-smokers (364 men) with essential hypertension. Subjects were matched by sex, age (within 5 years) and clinic systolic and diastolic blood pressures (within 5 mmHg). All the subjects underwent 24 h off-therapy non-invasive ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and echocardiography. By matching, clinic blood pressure was nearly identical in smokers and non-smokers (158/99 versus 158/98 mmHg). Daytime ambulatory blood pressure was significantly higher in the smokers than in the non-smokers (150/97 versus 143/93 mmHg), whereas night-time blood pressure did not differ between the two groups (129/79 versus 126/78 mmHg). Smokers had a higher 24 h but not clinic heart rate. Variability of systolic and diastolic blood pressure was slightly greater in smokers when expressed in terms of the standard deviation of the 24 h average (15.9/13.0 versus 14.6/12.2 mmHg), but not after correction for average blood pressure. Left ventricular mass was greater in the...Continue Reading
