Abstract

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) was suggested to be an important risk factor for hypertensive vascular complications. Previous studies had also shown that red cell distribution width (RDW) was associated with morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular disease. However, few have yet investigated possible association between RDW and LVH. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between LVH and RDW levels in hypertensive patients. Physical examination, laboratory tests and echocardiography were conducted in 330 untreated newly diagnosed hypertensive patients attending the cardiology consultation unit at the Anzhen Hospital of Beijing. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to verify the independent association between RDW and LVH. 174 patients without LVH and 156 patients with LVH were rolled in the study. The patients with LVH had higher mean SBP, albumin to creatinine ratio, total cholesterol, RDW and fasting glucose compared with non-LVH group. The mean HDL-cholesterol level was significantly lower in patients with LVH than patients without LVH. The multiple logistic regression model suggested that patients with a higher RDW level were more likely to be LVH (OR=2.187, 95%CI: 1.447-3.307, P<0....Continue Reading

Arterial-Venous in Development & Disease

Arterial-venous development may play a crucial role in cardiovascular diseases. Here is the latest research.

Cardiovascular Inflammation

Inflammation plays a significant role in the development of cardiovascular diseases, an understanding of these endogenous processes is critical for evaluating the risks and potential treatment strategies. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular inflammation here.

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Cardiomegaly

Cardiomegaly, known as an enlarged heart, is a multifactorial disease with different pathophysiological mechanisms. Hypertension, pregnancy, exercise-induced and idiopathic causes are some mechanisms of cardiomegaly. Discover the latest research of cardiomegaly here.
