Background: Hypertension and dyslipidaemia are two major modifiable cardiovascular risk factors with their co-existence having more than an additive effect on endothelial function causing atherosclerosis. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of dyslipidaemia in hypertensive subjects and to determine its relationship left ventricular hypertrophy.Methods: The study was a cross-sectional comparative one involving 120 hypertensive participants with LVH (subjects) and 60 age and sex-matched hypertensive participants without LVH (controls). Detailed history, physical examination, fasting lipid profile test, and echocardiogram were carried out on all participants.Results: The overall prevalence rate of dyslipidaemia in the study was 61.1%. The prevalence of dyslipidaemia in subjects (60.8%) was slightly lower than in controls (61.7%), though the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.914). The most common isolated lipid abnormality in the study was elevated serum LDL-C (55% in subjects, 46.7% in controls), though the difference did not achieve statistical significance (p= 0.370). The mean atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) was significantly higher in the subjects (0.34+0.23) than in the controls (0.22+0.28) (p=0.001). There was a positive correlation between echocardiographic left ventricular mass and AIP (r=0.298, p=0.001).Conclusion: There is a high prevalence of dyslipidaemia among hypertensive adults. There is also a positive correlation between echocardiographic left ventricular mass and AIP among adult hypertensive subjects.

The Difference

Increased cardiac left ventricular mass (LVM) is a significant predictor of adverse cardiovascular events. Experimental studies suggest a pathophysiological role of magnesium (Mg ++ ) in the development of arterial hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Subjects, aged 45 – 79 years, from the population-based, epidemiological, longitudinal “Study of Health in Pomerania” with complete echocardiographic data (n = 1 348 after exclusion of aortic valve disease) were grouped into five quintiles according to serum Mg ++ at baseline (0.790±0.003 mmol/l, mean±SEM). In the lowest Mg ++ -quintile (Mg ++ <<26>0.73 mmol/l), LVM (187.4±3.1 g at baseline) increased by 14.9±1.2 g over the following five years, while in the highest Mg ++ -quintile (Mg ++ <<0.85 mmol/l) LVM (186.7±3.4 g at baseline) decreased by −0.5±2.8 g (p<0.0001 between quintiles). After five years, LVM was significantly higher in the lowest Mg ++ -quintile (LVM: 202.2±3.4 g) in comparison to the highest Mg ++ -quintile (187.2±3.5 g, p<0.003 between quintiles). Mg ++ inversely correlated with the difference in LVM over five years (p<0.0001, females: p<0.002, males: p<0.024) and also with differences in Sokolow-Lyon-index over five years (p<0.01). Unlike age, gender, presence of hypertension or diabetes mellitus, body mass index, smoking status, renal function, high-sensitive C-reactive protein and use of various antihypertensive drugs including diuretics, only Mg ++ (p<0.0001), pulse pressure (p<0.002) and use of β-blockers (p<0.04) were identified as independent predictors of difference in LVM over five years. Hypomagnesemia is one of the strongest predictors of increase in LVM over the following five years. It should initiate decisive preventive measures in subjects prone to developing LVH.

Background: To investigate the association between ankle-brachial index (ABI), left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) in a general population. Patients and methods: The study population consisted of 8,246 people aged 50 years and older who participated in the baseline survey of the Dong-gu Study conducted in Korea between 2007 and 2010. Trained research technicians measured LV mass using mode M ultrasound echocardiography and ABI using an oscillometric method. Results: After adjustment for risk factors and common carotid artery intima-media thickness (CCA-IMT) and the number of plaques, higher ABIs (1.10 1.19, 1.20 - 1.29, and ≥ 1.30) were significantly and linearly associated with high LVMI (1.10 - 1.19 ABI: β, 3.33; 95 % CI, 1.72 - 4.93; 1.20 - 1.29 ABI: β, 6.51; 95 % CI, 4.02 - 9.00; ≥ 1.30 ABI: β, 14.83; 95 % CI, 6.18 - 23.48). An ABI of 1.10 - 1.19 and 1.20 - 1.29 ABI was significantly associated with LVH (1.10 - 1.19 ABI: OR, 1.35; 95 % CI, 1.19 - 1.53; 1.20 - 1.29 ABI: OR, 1.59; 95 % CI, 1.31 - 1.92) and ABI ≥ 1.30 was marginally associated with LVH (OR, 1.73; 95 % CI, 0.93 - 3.22, p = 0.078). Conclusions: After adjustment for other cardiovascular variables and CCA-IMT and the number of plaques, higher ABIs are associated with LVH and LVMI in Koreans aged 50 years and older.
