VARGAS-VERGARA, Diana; VILLAMIZAR-QUINTERO, Álvaro J. y FANDINO-FARIAS, Carlos A.. 24 hour blood pressure monitoring and early echocardiographic findings. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2022, vol.29, n.4, pp.404-411. Epub 08-Nov-2022. ISSN 0120-5633. https://doi.org/10.24875/rccar.m22000184.
Introduction:
Arterial hypertension is one of the main factor associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality with increasing prevalence, so it is considered as a key factor to treat to decrease cardiovascular disease. There is no data in Colombia that correlates echocardiographic parameters with meassures of blood pressure obtained by a 24 h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
Objective:
To evaluate possible relations between 24 hour blood pressure monitoring and relative wall thickness, left atrial volume index, left ventricular ejection fraction and ventricular mass index.
Materials and methods:
A cross sectional, observational, descriptive trial in Colombian patients between june 2018 to dicember 2019 with echocardiographic and 24 h blood pressure monitoring data from the cardiology deparment of the Hospital de San José.
Results:
70 patients were included. a possible relation was found between 24 h systolic blood pressure monitoring and 24 h diastolic pressure monitoring with left atrial volume index (p = 0.004) and relative wall thickness (p = 0.032) respectively.
Conclusion:
A possible association was found between 24 h systolic blood pressure monitoring and 24 h diastolic blood pressure monitoring with left atrial volume index and relative wall thickness respectively. It is necessary to conduct more studies to confirm this finding.
