Abstract

BACKGROUND

Echocardiographic criteria of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) recommended in the international guidelines are derived from a White population, which could be less accurate in estimating LVH burden in other ethnic groups. Given that LVH is an important prognostic factor, assessing its burden using ethnically specific criteria has important implications. We sought to evaluate the prevalence and prognostic implications of LVH based on the EMINCA (Echocardiographic Measurements in Normal Chinese Adults) study criteria and the international guidelines.

METHODS AND RESULTS

Nationally representative populations aged ≥35 years (n=20 210; mean age, 56.0 years; 53.3% women) were enrolled from the China Hypertension Survey 2012 to 2015. The EMINCA study criteria for LVH were left ventricular mass index >109 g/m for men and >105 g/m for women; and the international guidelines criteria were left ventricular mass index >115 g/m for men and >95 g/m for women. Prevalence of LVH defined by the EMINCA study and international guidelines was 8.3% (≈56.8 million) and 11.7% (≈80.1 million), respectively. LVH defined by the EMINCA study was associated with adjusted hazard ratio (HR) of 1.55 (95% CI, 1.19-2.01; <0.001) for cardiovascular death and 1.14 (95% CI, 0.95-1.37; =0.16) for all-cause death. LVH defined by the international guidelines was associated with adjusted HR of 1.31 (95% CI, 1.00-1.72; =0.047) for cardiovascular death and 1.12 (95% CI, 0.94-1.34; =0.22) for all-cause death.

CONCLUSIONS

LVH diagnosis based on both criteria was independently associated with cardiovascular death. However, the prevalence of LVH in a general Chinese population varies significantly by the echocardiographic criteria.

摘要

背景

国际指南中推荐的左心室肥厚（LVH）超声心动图标准源自白人群体，在评估其他种族群体的LVH负担时可能不够准确。鉴于LVH是一个重要的预后因素，使用种族特异性标准评估其负担具有重要意义。我们试图根据EMINCA（中国正常成年人超声心动图测量）研究标准和国际指南评估LVH的患病率及其预后意义。

方法与结果

从2012年至2015年的中国高血压调查中纳入了年龄≥35岁的具有全国代表性的人群（n = 20210；平均年龄56.0岁；女性占53.3%）。EMINCA研究中LVH的标准为男性左心室质量指数>109g/m²，女性>105g/m²；国际指南标准为男性左心室质量指数>115g/m²，女性>95g/m²。根据EMINCA研究和国际指南定义的LVH患病率分别为8.3%（约5680万）和11.7%（约8010万）。根据EMINCA研究定义的LVH与心血管死亡的校正风险比（HR）为1.55（95%CI，1.19 - 2.01；P<0.001），全因死亡的校正HR为1.14（95%CI，0.95 - 1.37；P = 0.16）。根据国际指南定义的LVH与心血管死亡的校正HR为1.31（95%CI，1.00 - 1.72；P = 0.047），全因死亡的校正HR为1.12（95%CI，0.94 - 1.34；P = 0.22）。
