Abstract：Objective To investigate the relation between ambulatory blood pressure variability and left ventricular hypertrophy(LVH) in patients with hypertension.Methods We evaluated 160 patients with essential hypertension.All patients underwent ultrasound examinations of the heart and 24h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring(ABPM).The patients were divided,according to with or without left ventricular hypertrophy,into left ventricular hypertrophy group (n =70) and non-left ventricular hypertrophy group (n =90).The characteristics of ambulatory blood pressure and blood pressure variability were compared and analyzed between two groups.Results ①There were no significant differences in age and constituent ratio of gender between the LVH and no LVH groups (P ＞0.05).②The parameters o f ABPM in LVH group were higher than those in no LVH group.There were significant differences(P ＜0.01) in 24 h mean systolic blood pressure,24 h systolic blood pressure standard deviation,24 h diastolic blood pressure standard deviation,daytime mean systolic blood pressure,daytime mean systolic blood pressure standard deviation,daytime mean diastolic blood pressure,daytime mean diastolic blood pressure standard deviation,nighttime mean systolic blood pressure,nighttime mean systolic blood pressure standard deviation,nighttime mean diastolic blood pressure,nighttime mean systolic blood pressure standard deviation [(152 ±14) mmHg vs (121 ±9)mmHg,(18 ±4)mmHg vs (82 ±5)mmHg,(16 ±5) mmHg vs (11 ±4)mmHg,(153 ±11)mmHg vs (123 ± 10)mmHg,(17 ±5) mmHg vs (13 ±4)mmHg,(100 ±9)mmHg vs (83 ±6) mmHg,(16 ±5) mmHg vs (10 ± 3) mmHg,(147 ± 14) mmHg vs (112 ± 12) mmHg,(15 ± 6) mmHg vs (10 ± 4) mmHg,(96 ±10) mmHg vs (77±8) mmHg,(14 ±6)mmHg vs (8 ±3)mmHg].Conclusion The ABPM parameters and blood pressure variability are correlated to LVH.
