Objective: To study the risk factors and the differences in-patients who have essential hypertension with left ventricular hypertrophy from Han, Uygur and Kaza kh ethnic groups in Xinjiang province. Methods: Patients from the First Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University with essential hypertension during January 2013 to January 2015 were randomized into three groups according to ethnic differences, a nd then every group was divided into two subgroups. Compared the difference of blood parameters and ambulatory blood pressure parameters in different groups. R esults: In Han left ventricular hypertrophy group, serum cystatin C and homocyste ine were higer than non-left ventricular hypertrophy group, while folic acid was lo wer than non-left ventricular hypertrophy group(P<0.05). In Uygur left ventricular hypertrophy group,serum cystatin Cã€fibrinogen and homocysteine were higher tha nnon-left ventricular hypertrophy group(P<0.05). In Kazakh left ventricular hypertr ophy group, serum cystatin Cã€fibrinogen and homocysteine were higher than nonleft ventricular hypertrophy group(P<0.05). Comparaed with Han left ventricular h ypertrophy group, Uygur had a lower level of folic acid and Vitamin D(P<0.05),Kazakh had a lower level of folic acid(P<0.05). In Han left ventricular hypertr ophy group, 24 hours systolic blood pressure(24hSBP)ã€24 hours diastolic blood pr essure(24hDBP)ã€24 hours pulse Pressure(24hPP)ã€day mean systolic blood pressur e(dSBP)ã€day mean diastolic blood pressure(dDBP)ã€day mean pulse Pressure(dPP)ã€night mean systolic blood pressure(nSBP)ã€night mean diastolic blood pressure(dDBP)ã€night mean pulse Pressure(nPP)were higher than non-left ventricular hypertroph y group(P<0.05). In Uygur left ventricular hypertrophy group, 24hSBPã€24hPPã€d SBPã€dPPã€nSBPã€nDBPã€nPP were higher than non-left ventricular hypertrophy group(P<0.05). In Kazakh left ventricular hypertrophy group, 24hSBPã€24hPPã€dP Pã€nSBPã€nDBPã€nPP were higher than non-left ventricular hypertrophy group(P<0.05). Comparaed with Han left ventricular hypertrophy group, Uygur had a lower24hDBPã€dDBPã€nDBP level. Logistic regression showed that Uygur and Kazakh,24-hour systolic blood pressure, 24-hours pulse pressure,serum cystatin C and fibri nogen of Uygur and Kazakh were the significantly independent determinants for le ft ventricular hypertrophy. While the females seemed a protective factor. Conclusio n: The prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy is different among ethnics and d ifferent between males and females. These results implied that a comprehensive int ervention should be taken in the prevention of left ventricular hypertrophy. |
