Abstract

We carried out clinical-instrumental examination of 456 men aged 40-54 years. First degree arterial hypertension was revealed in 165 men. Left ventricular hypertrophy was found in 48 (30%), increased intima-media thickness (IMT) - in 67 (41%) patients. There was significant medium power relationship between IMT and left ventricular myocardial mass (correlation coefficient 0.41). Formation of left ventricular hypertrophy was related to parameters of 24 hour blood pressure monitoring, arterial hypertension in brothers and sisters, body weight, and duration of obesity. Significant medium power relation was obtained between tension of endothelial system of hemostasis (protein C) and severity of left ventricular hypertrophy (correlation coefficient - 0,3). Age, heredity, low density lipoprotein, cholesterol, uric acid level mattered for IMT increase.

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
