Purpose: To explore the relationship between central blood pressure (BP) parameters and cardiac structure and function parameters in healthy individuals. Methods: Four hundred Chinese participants with no overt cardiovascular disease participated in this study. One hundred and seventy-one participants (42.8%) were male and the mean age was 60 years. Central BP was measured with the SphygmoCor system. Cardiac structure and function were assessed by echocardiography. Results: We showed a significant association of left atrial volume and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) with brachial and central systolic BP (SBP) and pulse pressure (PP; r = 0.189–0.0.39, p < 0.001). Left ventricular diastolic function and the E/A ratio were significantly associated with brachial and central BP (r = 0.228–0.469, p < 0.001). Multivariate regression analysis revealed that central SBP and PP were independently correlated with LVMI after normalization for age and other confounding variables (sex, body mass index, smoking, and alcohol intake, and the levels of triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, creatinine, uric acid, fasting blood glucose, log C-reactive protein, and fibrinogen. However, only central SBP was found to be independently correlated with the E/A ratio. Conclusions: Cardiac structure and diastolic function were associated with brachial and central BP. However, after normalization, cardiac structure parameters were independently correlated with central SBP and PP. Diastolic function was the only cardiac function parameter that correlated with central SBP.

BackgroundCurrent guideline recommends both surgery and drug treatment for primary aldosteronism. Treatment effects on the cardiac structure and function remain under investigation.ObjectiveWe performed a prospective study in patients with primary aldosteronism to compare effects of surgery and drug treatment on the cardiac structure and function as assessed by the left ventricular (LV) pressure-strain loop, a novel echocardiographic technique that incorporates myocardial deformation and LV pressure.MethodsOur study included 39 and 28 patients treated with surgery and a mineralocorticoid antagonist, respectively. We performed conventional and speckle tracking echocardiography at baseline and 3 and 6 months of follow-up.ResultsDuring follow-up, both surgery and drug treatment normalized serum potassium concentration and significantly reduced blood pressure. Both treatments significantly and similarly decreased LV mass index and left atrial volume index. However, only in the surgery group did global wasted work significantly decrease (200.8 ± 86.7 at baseline vs. 142.1 ± 58.1 mmHg% at 6 months) and global work efficiency (91.5 ± 3.1 vs. 93.6 ± 2.3%) and global longitudinal strain (−18.3 ± 2.7 vs. −19.2 ± 1.9%) significantly (p &lt; 0.01) increase at 6 months of follow-up. The corresponding differences from the changes in the drug treatment group were 39.5 mmHg% (95% CI, 17.1, 62.0 mmHg%), −1.64% (95% CI, −2.56, −0.71%), and −0.85% (95% CI, −1.51, −0.20%), respectively. In addition, the changes in global wasted work at 6 months of follow-up was significantly correlated with that in 24-h urinary aldosterone excretion in the drug treatment group (r = 0.54) and two groups combined (r = 0.55), but not the surgery group.ConclusionIn spite of similar serum potassium normalization and blood pressure control, surgical removal of an adrenal gland, but not mineralocorticoid receptor antagonism, showed early improvement in cardiac function.
