Objectively defined early-onset hypertension, based on repeated blood pressure measurements, is associated with greater odds of organ damage and cardiovascular mortality than late-onset hypertension. In this study we examined the association between two factors that are easily available in primary care, self-reported hypertension onset age and electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy (ECG-LVH), in a nationwide population sample of 2864 Finns aged ≥50 years. We observed that, in contrast to prior findings, the odds of ECG-LVH were similar between self-reported hypertension onset age groups, and thus self-reported early-onset hypertension does not seem to associate with ECG-LVH more strongly than simple presence of hypertension.
客观定义的早发性高血压，基于重复的血压测量，与器官损伤和心血管死亡率的更高几率相关，而不是晚发性高血压。在这项研究中，我们在一个全国性的 2864 名年龄≥50 岁的芬兰人群样本中，检查了在初级保健中易于获得的两个因素（自我报告的高血压发病年龄和心电图左心室肥厚（ECG-LVH））之间的关联。我们观察到，与先前的发现相反，自我报告的高血压发病年龄组之间的 ECG-LVH 几率相似，因此自我报告的早发性高血压似乎与 ECG-LVH 的关联并不比单纯存在高血压更强。
