Correlation analysis between afternoon blood pressure and target organ damage in patients with hypertensionAbstract:Objective To explore the correlation between afternoon blood pressure level and target organ damage in patients with hypertension,and to provide a new clinical basis for blood pressure management.Methods A total of 252 hypertensive patients who received ambulatory blood pressure monitoring were recruited from the hypertension center of Beijing Anzhen Hospital,Capital Medical University from January to December 2022.According to the third level of afternoon systolic blood pressure,the patients were divided into low afternoon blood pressure group,middle afternoon blood pressure group and high afternoon blood pressure group,with 84 cases in each group.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the association of afternoon systolic blood pressure with left ventricular hypertrophy,proteinuria and arteriosclerosis.Subgroup analysis was used to verify the interaction effect of this association in patients with different age,gender,smoking and drinking status.Results Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that compared with the low afternoon blood pressure group,the high afternoon blood pressure group had more severe left ventricular hypertrophy,proteinuria,and arteriosclerosis damage,which still existed after adjusting for age,gender and other factors(all P<0.05).Afternoon systolic blood pressure was analyzed as a continuous variable.After adjusting for confounding factors,the degree of left ventricular hypertrophy(odds ratio=1.07,95%confidence interval:1.04-1.11),proteinuria(odds ratio=1.05,95%confidence interval:1.02-1.07)and arteriosclerosis(odds ratio=1.04,95%confidence interval:1.02-1.06)damage increased with the increase of afternoon systolic blood pressure(all P<0.05).Subgroup analysis showed that the association between afternoon systolic blood pressure and target organ damage was consistent across subgroups of gender,age,smoking and drinking status,and no significant interaction was found(all P>0.05).Conclusions The afternoon systolic blood pressure level is positively correlated with target organ damage in hypertensive patients,which is consistent in different population subgroups,suggesting that afternoon blood pressure monitoring is of great clinical significance in assessing the risk of target organ damage in hypertensive patients.
Effect of perioperative hydration therapy combined with furosemide on contrast-induced nephropathy after percutaneous coronary intervention and its safety evaluationAbstract:Objective To investigate the effect and safety of perioperative hydration therapy combined with furosemide on contrast-induced nephropathy(CIN)after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods A total of 556 patients who underwent PCI in the Department of Cardiology,the First People's Hospital of Kashi,Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from January to December 2023 were collected.All patients were divided into control group and observation group by random number table method,with 278 cases in each group.The observation group was treated with hydration and furosemide during the perioperative period,and the control group was treated with hydration alone.The basic clinical data of the two groups were compared.The renal function and the incidence of CIN were compared before and after operation.The influencing factors of CIN were analyzed by binary Logistic regression.The incidence of adverse reactions during hospitalization was compared between the two groups.Results The proportion of male in the observation group was lower than that in the control group,and the proportion of hypertension history,contrast agent dosage,and proportion of taking β-blockers were higher than those in the control group(all P<0.05).The levels of serum creatinine,cystatin C and serum uric acid in the two groups were significantly higher than those before operation(all P<0.05).The incidence of CIN in the observation group was lower than that in the control group[19.4%(54/278)vs 27.3%(76/278)](P=0.027).Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that contrast agent dosage was an independent risk factor for CIN after PCI(odds ratio=1.016,95%confidence interval:1.009-1.024,P=0.019).Furosemide was a protective factor for CIN after PCI(odds ratio=0.359,95%confidence interval:0.143-0.904,P=0.030).There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups during hospitalization(P=0.102).Conclusion Perioperative hydration combined with furosemide can reduce the incidence of CIN after PCI,and does not increase the incidence of adverse reactions during hospitalization,with high safety.
Analysis of left ventricular reverse remodeling at 1 year after transcatheter edge-to-edge repair of moderate to severe mitral regurgitation in patients with different etiologiesAbstract:Objective To evaluate the left ventricular reverse remodeling at 1 year after transcatheter edge-to-edge repair(TEER)of moderate to severe mitral regurgitation(MR)in patients with different etiologies.Methods The clinical and echocardiographic data of 91 patients with moderate to severe MR Who underwent TEER treatment in the Interventional Center of Valvular Heart Disease,Beijing Anzhen Hospital,Capital Medical University from June 2021 to November 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the etiology,the patients were divided into degenerative mitral regurgitation(DMR)group(70 cases)and functional mitral regurgitation(FMR)group(21 cases).Clinical baseline data and echocardiographic data before and 1 year after surgery were collected.Left ventricular reverse remodeling and functional changes were compared between the two groups one year after surgery.Results Compared with the DMR group,the effective regurgitation orifice area and effective valve orifice area in the FMR group were smaller,the left ventricular end-diastolic volume(LVEDV)and left ventricular end-systolic volume(LVESV)were larger,and the left ventricular ejection fraction was smaller(all P<0.05).One year after operation,the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter,left ventricular end-systolic diameter,LVEDV,LVESV and left atrial diameter of the two groups were lower than those before operation,the mean mitral valve pressure gradient was higher than that before operation,and the New York Heart Association heart function classification was significantly improved(all P<0.05).The proportion of normal left ventricular shape was increased compared with baseline[DMR group:31.4%(22/70)vs 20.0%(14/70),FMR group:61.9%(13/21)vs 33.3%(7/21)],and the proportion of eccentric left ventricular hypertrophy was decreased(all P<0.05).Conclusions For patients with moderate to severe MR of different etiologies,TEER treatment can effectively improve the degree of MR Regurgitation in the mid-term after operation,improve cardiac function,promote left ventricular reverse remodeling,and restore normal left ventricular morphology in some patients.
