Context: Primary aldosteronism (PA) causes left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) via hemodynamic factors and directly by aldosterone effects. Specific treatment by mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA) or adrenalectomy (ADX) has been reported to improve LVH. However, cardiovascular benefit could depend on plasma renin concentration (PRC) in patients on MRA. Patients and Objective: We analyzed data from 184 patients from the Munich center of the German Conn’s Registry, who underwent echocardiography at time of diagnosis and one year after treatment. To assess the effect of PRC on cardiac recovery we stratified patients on MRA according to suppression (n=46) or non-suppression of PRC (n=59) at follow-up and compared them to PA patients after ADX (n=79). Results: At baseline, patients treated by ADX or MRA had comparable left ventricular mass index (LVMI, 61.7 vs 58.9 g/m2.7, p= 0.591). Likewise, patients on MRA had similar LVMI at baseline, when stratified into treatment groups with suppressed and unsuppressed PRC during follow-up (60.0 vs 58.1 g/m2.7, p= 0.576). In all three groups we observed a significant reduction in LVMI following treatment (p<0.001). However, patients with suppressed PRC had no decrease in pro-BNP levels and the reduction of LVMI was less intense than in patients with unsuppressed PRC (4.1 vs 8.2 g/m2.7, p= 0.033) or after ADX (9.3 g/m2.7, p= 0.019). Similarly, in multivariate analysis, higher PRC was correlated with the regression of LVH. Conclusion: PA patients with suppressed PRC on MRA show impaired regression of LVH. Therefore, dosing of MRA according to PRC, could improve their cardiovascular benefit.

Abstract Background In hemodialysis patients, left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) contributes to high cardiovascular mortality. We examined cardiovascular mortality prediction by the recently proposed Peguero-Lo Presti voltage since it identifies more patients with electrocardiographic (ECG) LVH than Cornell or Sokolow-Lyon voltages. Methods A total of 308 patients on hemodialysis underwent 24 h ECG recordings. LVH parameters were measured before and after dialysis. The primary endpoint of cardiovascular mortality was recorded during a median 3-year follow up. Risk prediction was assessed by Cox regression, both unadjusted and adjusted for the Charlson Comorbidity Index and the Cardiovascular Mortality Risk Score. Results The Peguero-Lo Presti voltage identified with 21% the most patients with positive LVH criteria. All voltages significantly increased during dialysis. Factors such as ultrafiltration rate, Kt/V, body mass index, sex, and phosphate were the most relevant for these changes. During follow-up, 26 cardiovascular deaths occurred. Post-dialysis Peguero-Lo Presti cut-off as well as the Peguero-Lo Presti and Cornell voltages were independently associated with cardiovascular mortality in unadjusted and adjusted analysis. The Sokolow-Lyon voltage was not significantly associated with mortality. An optimal cut-off for the prediction of cardiovascular mortality was estimated at 1.38 mV for the Peguero-Lo Presti. Conclusions The post-dialysis Peguero-Lo Presti cut-off as well as the Peguero-Lo Presti and Cornell voltages allowed independent risk prediction of cardiovascular mortality in hemodialysis patients. Measuring the ECG LVH parameters after dialysis might allow a standardized interpretation as dialysis-specific factors influence the voltages. Graphical abstract

Among the different types, immunoglobulin light chain (AL) cardiac amyloidosis is associated with the highest morbidity and mortality. The outcome, however, is significantly better when an early diagnosis is made and treatment initiated promptly. We present a case of cardiac amyloidosis with left ventricular hypertrophy criteria on the electrocardiogram. After 9 months of follow-up, the patient developed low voltage in the limb leads, while still maintaining the Cornell criteria for left ventricular hypertrophy as well. The relative apical sparing by the disease process, as well as decreased cancellation of the opposing left ventricular walls could be responsible for this phenomenon. The discordance between the voltage in the frontal leads and precordial leads, when present in conjunction with other findings, may be helpful in raising the clinical suspicion of cardiac amyloidosis.

Abstract Background and Aims An important predictor of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity in hemodialysis patients is left ventricular hypertrophy. Also, pulmonary hypertension is a risk factor for mortality and cardiovascular events in hemodialysis patients. The aim of this study was to investigate cardiac remodeling and the dynamics of pulmonary arterial pressure during a year-long hemodialysis treatment and to evaluate relationship between pulmonary arterial pressure and blood flow in arteriovenous fistula. Method Hemodialysis patients (n=88; 42 males, 46 females, mean age was 51.7±13.0 years) were studied. Echocardiography and Doppler echocardiography were performed in the beginning of hemodialysis treatment and after a year. Echocardiographic evaluation was carried out on the day after dialysis. Left ventricular mass index (LVMI) was calculated. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was measured by the echocardiographic Simpson method. Arteriovenous fistula flow was determined by Doppler echocardiography. Pulmonary hypertension was diagnosed according to criteria of Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary hypertension of the European Society of Cardiology. Results Pulmonary hypertension was diagnosed in 47 (53.4%) patients. Left ventricular hypertrophy was revealed in 71 (80.7%) patients. Only 2 (2.3%) patients had LVEF&lt;50%. At the beginning of hemodialysis correlation was detected between systolic pulmonary arterial pressure and LVMI (r=0.52; P&lt;0.001). Systolic pulmonary arterial pressure negatively correlated with left ventricular ejection fraction (r=-0.20; P=0.04). After a year of hemodialysis treatment LVMI decreased from 140.49±42.95 to 123.25±39.27 g/m2 (р=0.006) mainly due to a decrease in left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (from 50.23±6.48 to 45.13±5.24 mm, p=0.04) and systolic pulmonary arterial pressure decreased from 44.83±14.53 to 39.14±10.29 mmHg (р=0.002). Correlation wasn’t found between systolic pulmonary arterial pressure and arteriovenous fistula flow (r=0.17; p=0.4). Conclusion Pulmonary hypertension was diagnosed in half of patients at the beginning of hemodialysis treatment. Pulmonary hypertension in hemodialysis patients was associated with left ventricular hypertrophy, systolic left ventricular dysfunction. After a year-long hemodialysis treatment, a regress in left ventricular hypertrophy and a partial decrease in pulmonary arterial pressure were observed. There wasn’t correlation between arteriovenous fistula flow and systolic pulmonary arterial pressure.

Abstract Background Patients with end-stage renal disease are exposed to extreme volume shifts and thereby cardiovascular strain as a consequence of interdialytic weight gain, fluid removal during hemodialysis and also chronic fluid overload. In long-term hemodialysis patients, higher IDWG (interdialytic weight gain) is associated with poor survival and increased cardiovascular death. Patients with the lowest interdialytic fluid retention have the greatest survival. It was found that increased interdialytic volume load is associated with increased both LVMI and FGF-23 level. Objective To evaluate correlation between hypervolemia, left ventricular hypertrophy and FGF-23 in prevalent hemodialysis patients. Patients and Methods This cross sectional study was conducted in Ain shams university hospital and Al Agoza hospital, on 60 prevalent hemodialysis patients.Three patient died during the study. Results FGF-23 had a positive correlation with (weight gain, (PO4)3-, PTH, IVS, PW and LVMI). Conclusion FGF-23 might be a marker of volume overload and LVH in ESRD patients, as it positively correlated with (weight gain, IVS, PW and LVMI). FGF-23 is a marker of bone diseases, as it positively correlated with (PO4)3- and PTH. Volume overload has a negative impact on morbidity and mortality in ESRD patients.
