Objective: To investigate the relationship between left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and coronary artery disease in the very elderly (over 80 years old) patients with hypertension. Methods: One hundred twenty cases of very elderly patients with hypertension admitted to our hospital from March 2018 to December 2020 were selected and divided into two groups: the LVH group and the non-LVH group, all of whom were older aged over 80 years, including 62 patients in the LVH group and 58 patients in the non-LVH group. All patients underwent cardiac color Doppler ultrasound examination, 24-hour dynamic ECG examination, and coronary angiography or coronary CTA examination. The clinical data of the two groups were analyzed statistically. Results: There were significant differences in the number of diseased vessels, degree of coronary stenosis and vascular calcification between the two groups (P<0.05). Moreover, the results of risk factors for the degree of coronary artery disease in the two groups showed that the history of diabetes, 2hPG and LVH were independent risk factors for the three-vessel disease, while the history of LVH, FPG and alcohol intake were independent risk factors for diffuse lesions, but there was no statistical difference in the correlation between them and the degree of coronary stenosis. Conclusion: LVH is an independent risk factor for coronary artery stenosis and calcification in the very elderly patients with hypertension, but there is no statistical difference in the correlation between LVH and the degree of coronary stenosis. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.37.5.4135 How to cite this:Sun JH, Liu XK, Zhang Q, Zhang QH.

Abstract Aim We tested the hypothesis that metformin may regress left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients who have coronary artery disease (CAD), with insulin resistance (IR) and/or pre-diabetes. Methods and results We randomly assigned 68 patients (mean age 65 ± 8 years) without diabetes who have CAD with IR and/or pre-diabetes to receive either metformin XL (2000 mg daily dose) or placebo for 12 months. Primary endpoint was change in left ventricular mass indexed to height1.7 (LVMI), assessed by magnetic resonance imaging. In the modified intention-to-treat analysis (n = 63), metformin treatment significantly reduced LVMI compared with placebo group (absolute mean difference −1.37 (95% confidence interval: −2.63 to −0.12, P = 0.033). Metformin also significantly reduced other secondary study endpoints such as: LVM (P = 0.032), body weight (P = 0.001), subcutaneous adipose tissue (P = 0.024), office systolic blood pressure (BP, P = 0.022) and concentration of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, a biomarker for oxidative stress (P = 0.04). The glycated haemoglobin A1C concentration and fasting IR index did not differ between study groups at the end of the study. Conclusion Metformin treatment significantly reduced LVMI, LVM, office systolic BP, body weight, and oxidative stress. Although LVH is a good surrogate marker of cardiovascular (CV) outcome, conclusive evidence for the cardio-protective role of metformin is required from large CV outcomes trials.

Objective Data about renal artery stenosis association with left ventricular remodeling in patients coexisting with coronary artery disease are scanty. Methods Patients with suspected both coronary artery disease and renal artery stenosis undergoing coronary and renal arteriography between October 2013 and December 2015 were prospectively enrolled. Left ventricular remodeling patterns were compared among different severity of renal artery stenosis group. Logistic regression was done to investigate the determinants of the left ventricular morphology. Results The overall prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy was 40.5%, the highest in bilateral renal artery stenosis group compared to unilateral or normal ones (65.4% versus 41.8% versus 34.8%, p = 0.012). Significantly lower estimated glomerular filtration rate and higher cystatin C level were found in bilateral renal artery stenosis group than that in other two groups. Multivariate regression analysis showed that bilateral renal artery stenosis was associated with increased left ventricular hypertrophy and concentric hypertrophy with statistical significance (adjusted odds ratio = 2.909 (95%CI: 1.063–7.961), and 3.021 (95%CI: 1.136–8.033)). In addition, estimated glomerular filtration rate level was also related to left ventricular hypertrophy, while there was no significant interaction between renal artery stenosis and coronary artery disease on left ventricular hypertrophy/concentric hypertrophy occurrence. Conclusions Bilateral renal artery stenosis is significantly associated with increased left ventricular hypertrophy/concentric hypertrophy in patients with suspected concomitant coronary and renal artery disease, while no synergic effect could be found in coronary artery disease.
