[Relationship between ventricular arrhythmia and blood lipid in hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy].

The possible relationship among ventricular arrhythmia(VA), blood lipid(BL) and left ventricular hypertrophy(LVH) were investigated in 92 patients with essential hypertension(EH). The results showed that the incidence of VA and complex VA and ventricular tachycardia(VT) were significantly higher in EH with LVH than those in EH with non-LVH. The incidence of VA and complex VA and VT were highest in hypertensive patients with LVH accompanied with hyperlipemia(HL), and VA seemed closely related to left heart structure and BL. The results suggest that LVH and HL are the two additive risk factors of occurrence of VA in patients with EH.
