Key result
Higher hemoglobin delivery in hypertensive LVH links to greater LV mass and impaired early diastolic filling.
Why the study?
Is hemoglobin delivery associated with left ventricular structure and function in hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy?
Observational (n=864)
Is hemoglobin delivery associated with left ventricular structure and function in hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy?
In patients with hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy, higher oxygen delivery capacity is associated with adverse cardiac remodeling, including increased LV mass and impaired early diastolic filling.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Should not yet change practice in hypertensive LVH; leaves open whether hemoglobin delivery drives remodeling.
Narayan et al. (2006) conducted an observational in Hypertension with electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy (n=864). Hemoglobin delivery was evaluated on Left ventricular mass and function. Higher hemoglobin delivery capacity in hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy is independently associated with higher left ventricular mass and impaired early diastolic LV filling.
