Non-dipper hypertension is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association of non-dipping hypertension with aortic diameter in patients with metabolic syndrome.
This study included 70 hypertensive patients with metabolic syndrome. These patients were evaluated with 24-h blood pressure Holter monitoring and divided into two groups of 35 patients each. Aortic diameter was measured by M-mode and two-dimensional echocardiography. These parameters were compared between the two groups.
In the dipper group, there were 26 female and 9 male patients with a mean age of 55±11 years. In the non-dipper group, there were 25 female and 10 male patients with a mean age of 56±11 years. No significant difference was found between the two groups in terms of basic characteristics. Non-dipper hypertensive patients had a higher thoracic aortic diameter value than dipper patients (35.6±2.4 and 33.23±1.1, p<0.01).
These findings suggest that thoracic aortic diameter value is higher in patients with non-dipper hypertension.
非勺型高血压与心血管疾病发病率和死亡率增加相关。本研究旨在评估代谢综合征患者中非勺型高血压与主动脉直径之间的关联。
本研究纳入70例患有代谢综合征的高血压患者。这些患者接受了24小时动态血压监测，并分为两组，每组35例患者。通过M型和二维超声心动图测量主动脉直径。对两组之间的这些参数进行比较。
勺型组有26例女性和9例男性患者，平均年龄为55±11岁。非勺型组有25例女性和10例男性患者，平均年龄为56±11岁。两组在基本特征方面未发现显著差异。非勺型高血压患者的胸主动脉直径值高于勺型患者（35.6±2.4和33.23±1.1，p<0.01）。
这些发现表明，非勺型高血压患者的胸主动脉直径值更高。
