The review is focused on clinical significance of the left ventricle hypertrophy (LVH) — presentation of heart lesion as a target organ for systemic hypertension (SH). Various LVH development mechanisms are presented, and special attention is paid to sympathic nervous system and β-adrenoreceptors in pathogenesis. Fundamental methods of diagnostics are described for LVH, in comparison. The pathology is classified from the perspective of recent guidelines on echocardiographic diagnostics. Epidemiology provided. Taken current evidence, the prognostic role of LVH is described as a factor increasing the risk of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and renal complications in SH patients. Trials data presented that points on LVH regression with highly selective β1-blocker bisoprolol treatment. Pathophysiology of LVH regression is discussed for β1-blocker treatment.

Background: While acute hypertensive response (AHR) predicts worse outcome in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), the INTERACT-2 trial recently failed to definitively demonstrate a major benefit of intensive blood pressure reduction on these patients. A possible explanation is that the detrimental effect of AHR on outcome may differ among ICH patients with and without previous chronic hypertension. Objective: to explore whether the prognosis of patients with AHR during the acute phase of ICH differs according to the presence or absence of left ventricle hypertrophy (LVH), which is a marker of chronic hypertensive organ damage. Method: we performed a retrospective analysis of a prospective cohort of patients with primary ICH presenting to an academic hospital between January/2000 and December/2012 with age > 18 years, who had a transthoracic echocardiogram available. LVH was defined according to Penn convention. AHR was defined as systolic blood pressure > 180 mmHg on admission. Mantel-Haenszel test was initially used to assess if LVH status influenced the effect of AHR on mortality. For subsequent analyses, ICH patients were divided in 3 groups: without AHR (reference); AHR without LVH; AHR with LVH. A multivariate logistic regression model was then used to identify independent predictors of mortality at 30-days. Results: 430 patients met inclusion criteria. AHR was present in 196 (46.6%), LVH was present in 233 (54.2%); 30-day mortality was 15.6%. On Mantel-Haenszel test, we found a trend (p=0.09) suggesting that absence of LVH increased AHR effect on mortality (OR:1.64; 95% CI: 0.95-2.8; p=0.07). On multivariate analysis, patients with AHR without LVH had significantly higher mortality (OR: 2.65; 95%CI: 1.15 to 6.1; p=0.022) when compared to patients without AHR, after adjusting for baseline characteristics. There was only a trend towards increased mortality in the group of patients with AHR and LVH (OR:2.22; 95% CI: 0.99-5.0; p=0.053). Conclusions: Patients without chronic hypertension appear to be more susceptible to the detrimental effects of AHR during the acute phase of ICH. Stratification of patients with ICH may help to identify those that will have greater benefit with intensive blood pressure reduction in the acute phase of ICH.

Objective: To evaluate the concentration of N terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP) and partially the serum uric acid in the severe condition of aortic valve dysfunction for assessment of left ventricle hypertrophy. Methods: The study was conducted in the signal transduction lab department of biochemistry Quaid-I-Azam University, Islamabad from September 2013 to February 2017. NT-proBNP and serum uric acid were measured in one hundred patients of aortic valve dysfunction. The patients were divided into three main groups: 1) Aortic stenosis, 2) Aortic regurgitation, and 3) Aortic stenosis with Aortic regurgitation. The results were compared between disease and controls groups. Results: High level of plasma NT-proBNP was detected in all the three disease groups of aortic valve (stenosis, p<0.001), (regurgitation, p<0.001) and (stenosis with regurgitation, p<0.001). In addition, non-significantly increased level of serum uric acid was also observed in left ventricle hypertrophy in all the three respective disease groups of aortic valve. Conclusion: Increased secretion of NT-proBNP during cardiac remodeling can be related to the severity of left ventricle hypertrophy due to aortic valve abnormality in all the disease groups of severe stenosis, severe regurgitation, and combine disease condition of severe stenosis and severe regurgitation. However, non-significant increase in uric acid concentration is also identified which may be due to one of the factors involved in left ventricle hypertrophy in all the three disease groups of aortic valve. The interaction of uric acid with NT-proBNP during cardiac remolding due to aortic valve dysfunction is still not clear. How to cite this:Jan MI, Khan RA, Sultan A, Ullah A, Ishtiaq A, Murtaza I.
