The aim of this study was to assess predictors of BP and hypertension and relations between BP and LV mass in a population-based retrospective study of repaired isolated coarctation of aorta.
We collected follow-up data until 2018 of 284/304 (93%) patients with coarctation treated by surgery (n = 235) or balloon angioplasty/stent (n = 37/12) in our unit 2000-2012. Systolic hypertension was defined as systolic BP (SBP) z-score ≥+2 standard deviation (SD) or regular use of BP medication. LV hypertrophy was defined as LV mass z-score ≥+2 SD or LV mass index g/m2.7 ≥95th percentile.
The median (25-75th percentiles) follow-up time and age at follow-up were 9.7 years (6.9-13.2) and 11.8 years (7.9-16.0), respectively. Age at first procedure (P = 0.011) and systolic arm-leg-gradient (P = 0.007) were positively and transverse arch (P = 0.007) and isthmus diameter (P = 0.001) z-scores at follow-up were negatively associated with SBP z-score adjusted for age at follow-up and need for reintervention for coarctation. Systolic hypertension was present in 53/284 (18.7%) and related with increasing age at first procedure (median 33.2 vs 0.6 months; P < 0.001) and arm-leg-gradient at follow-up (mean ± SD, -0.3 ± 14.6 vs -6.4 ± 11.6 mmHg; P = 0.047) adjusted for reintervention for coarctation and age at follow-up. LV hypertrophy was present in 20/227 (9.3%) and related with SBP z-score.
Higher SBP and hypertension in repaired coarctation of aorta are related with increasing age at first procedure and arm-leg-gradient at follow-up. Transverse arch and isthmus diameters at follow-up are inversely related with SBP.
本研究旨在评估修复性孤立性主动脉缩窄患者的血压(BP)和高血压预测因素,以及 BP 与左心室质量(LV 质量)之间的关系。
我们收集了 2000 年至 2012 年在我院接受手术(n=235)或球囊血管成形术/支架(n=37/12)治疗的 284/304 例(93%)主动脉缩窄患者的随访数据,直至 2018 年。收缩期高血压定义为收缩压(SBP)z 评分≥+2 标准差(SD)或常规使用降压药物。LV 肥厚定义为 LV 质量 z 评分≥+2 SD 或 LV 质量指数 g/m2.7≥95 百分位。
中位(25-75 百分位数)随访时间和随访时年龄分别为 9.7 岁(6.9-13.2)和 11.8 岁(7.9-16.0)。首次手术年龄(P=0.011)和收缩期臂-腿梯度(P=0.007)与 SBP z 评分呈正相关,而随访时的横弓(P=0.007)和峡部直径(P=0.001)z 评分与随访时的 SBP z 评分呈负相关,调整了随访时的年龄和再次介入治疗的需要。284 例患者中有 53 例(18.7%)存在收缩期高血压,与首次手术年龄(中位数 33.2 与 0.6 个月;P<0.001)和随访时的臂-腿梯度(平均±SD,-0.3±14.6 与-6.4±11.6mmHg;P=0.047)呈正相关,调整了再次介入治疗和随访时的年龄。227 例患者中有 20 例(9.3%)存在 LV 肥厚,与 SBP z 评分相关。
修复性主动脉缩窄患者的 SBP 升高和高血压与首次手术年龄和随访时的臂-腿梯度升高有关。随访时的横弓和峡部直径与 SBP 呈负相关。
