998-120 Left Ventricular Systolic Performance Changes in Mild Hypertensive Subjects Treated with Antihypertensive Monotherapy or Placebo: The Treatment of Mild Hypertension Study (TOMHS)
Journal of The American College of Cardiology(1995)
摘要
Few large scale studies have evaluated long term effects of antihypertensive monotherapy (MT) versus placebo (P) on left ventricular (LV) systolic performance. Over a period of 4 years, 844 subjects with mild hypertension (mean BP: 140/91) without cardiac disease were treated with one of 5 MTs or P, all receiving nutritional-hygienic intervention. 2-D directed M-mode echocardiograms evaluated LV function at baseline, 3 months and annually through 4 years. Average changes over 4 years were compared between combined MT groups and P. Average decrease in BP was 15.9/12.3 mmHg in the MT group and 9.1/8.6 mmHg in the P group. for global systolic performance, stroke volume, ejection fraction, and fractional shortening (FS) increased with MT but decreased in P (p l 0.01 (MT vs P). Average change from baseline in stroke volume was –3.0% with P and +1.7% with MT. Cardiac output, stroke work index and minute work index decreased similarly in both MT and P. Peak-and end-systolic stress (ESS) increased significantly more in P than MT (p l 0.01). Total peripheral resistance decreased more in the MT group (p l 0.001). For indexes of contractility, ESS/ES volume index increased more in the P group, FS/ESS increased in MT and decreased in P, and SBP/ES dimension decreased more in the MT group (p l 0.02 for each). These findings suggest that even in mild hypertensives without underlying LV dysfunction, the addition of MT to nutritional-hygienic therapy can produce small, though significant changes in LV performance characteristics.
