Relationship Between Vascular Aging and Left Ventricular Concentric Geometry in Community-Dwelling Elderly: The Northern Shanghai Study.

ABSTRACT: Purpose:There have been few recent studies regarding vascular aging and its relationship with left ventricular (LV) geometry. Moreover, the association of abnormal LV geometry with various kinds of vascular aging has not yet been systematically analyzed. Thus, this study aimed to further elucidate this relationship. Materials and Methods:In this study, 3363 older participants (43.6% male, aged 71.1±5.9 years; 56.4% female, aged 71.1±6.1 years) derived from the Northern Shanghai Study were enrolled. Vascular aging criteria included arteriosclerosis, defined as carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity >10 m/s or brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity >1800 cm/s, and peripheral atherosclerosis, defined as ankle-brachial index <0.9, carotid artery intima-media thickness (cIMT) greater than 0.9 mm, or carotid plaque indicating carotid artery abnormality. Micro-albuminuria was defined as urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio >30 mg/g. Decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was defined as eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Results:When vascular aging parameters were respectively adjusted for age and sex, arteriosclerosis, micro-albuminuria, and peripheral atherosclerosis were significantly associated with concentric remodeling, eccentric LV hypertrophy (LVH), and concentric LVH (P<0.045) but not with decreased eGFR or abnormal cIMT and presence of plaque. Peripheral atherosclerosis was strongly associated with LV concentric geometry (LVCG) when considering other covariates (risk factors, diseases, and treatments) (P<0.012). Conclusion:Vascular aging parameters such as arteriosclerosis, micro-albuminuria, and peripheral atherosclerosis are significantly and independently associated with LVCG in community-dwelling older Chinese population, suggesting the importance of vascular aging during early clinical assessment of abnormal LV geometry change and serious cardiovascular events.

Project description:Background: Walking, as the most common campaign in older people, is recommended to improve their cardiovascular health. However, the direct association between weekly walking activity and asymptomatic hypertensive mediated organ damage (HMOD) remains unclear. Methods: 2,830 community-dwelling elderly subjects (over 65 years) in northern Shanghai were recruited from 2014 to 2018. Weekly walking activity was assessed by International Physical Activity Questionnaires (IPAQ). Within the framework of comprehensive cardiovascular examinations, HMOD, including left ventricular mass index, peak transmitral pulsed Doppler velocity/early diastolic tissue Doppler velocity, creatinine clearance rate, urinary albumin-creatinine ratio, carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV), carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), arterial plaque, and ankle-brachial index (ABI), were all evaluated. Results: 1,862 (65.8%) participants with weekly walking activity showed lower CIMT, lower cf-PWV, fewer abnormal ABI, and lower prevalence of hypertension and coronary heart disease (p < 0.05). Walking activity was negatively correlated with age and smokers (correlation coefficient: -0.066, -0.042; both p < 0.05). After adjusting for cardiovascular risk factors and concomitant diseases, walking activity was significantly associated with better indicator of most vascular HMOD in multivariate logistic regressions, including arterial stiffness [odds ratio (OR) = 0.75, p = 0.01], increased CIMT (OR = 0.70, p = 0.03), and peripheral artery disease (OR = 0.72, p = 0.005), but not cardiac or renal HMOD. Subgroup analysis further showed that walking duration ≥1 h/day was significantly associated with decreased risk of most vascular HMOD after adjustment for confounders and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity based on IPAQ (all p < 0.05). Conclusions: In the community-dwelling elderly Chinese, there was a significant negative association of weekly walking activity with vascular HMOD, but not cardiac or renal HMOD. Increased daily walking duration, but not walking frequency, was significantly associated with improved vascular HMOD. Hence, increasing daily walking duration seems to encourage a healthy lifestyle in terms of vascular protection. Clinical Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier: NCT02368938.

Project description:BackgroundIt has been reported that the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index may serve as a simple and credible surrogate marker of insulin resistance (IR). However, its association with macrovascular and microvascular damage is unclear. Accordingly, the objective of the present study is to investigate the association of macrovascular and microvascular damage with the TyG index.MethodsA total of 2830 elderly participants from the Northern Shanghai Study (NSS) were enrolled. The TyG index was calculated as ln[fasting triglycerides (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2]. Parameters of vascular damage, including carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV), brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (ba-PWV), ankle-brachial index (ABI), carotid intima-media thickness (CMT), carotid plaque, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and the urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), were measured and calculated.ResultsIn univariate logistic regression, an increased TyG index was associated with a higher risk of cf-PWV > 10 m/s, ba-PWV > 1800 cm/s, ABI < 0.9, microalbuminuria (MAU) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). In multivariable logistic regression, there was a significant increase in the risk of cf-PWV > 10 m/s (OR = 1.86, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.37-2.53, Pfor trend < 0.001), ba-PWV > 1800 cm/s (OR = 1.39, [95% CI] 1.05-1.84, Pfor trend= 0.02), MAU (OR = 1.61, [95% CI] 1.22-2.13, Pfor trend < 0.001) and CKD (OR = 1.67, [95% CI] 1.10-1.50, Pfor trend= 0.02) after adjustment for age, sex, BMI, waist circumference, smoking habit, hypertension, family history of premature CVD, diabetes, HDL-C, LDL-C, insulin therapy and statin therapy. However, no significant relationship was observed between the TyG index and lower extremity atherosclerosis, carotid hypertrophy or carotid plaque.ConclusionAn elevated TyG index was significantly associated with a higher risk of arterial stiffness and nephric microvascular damage. This conclusion lends support to the clinical significance of the TyG index for the assessment of vascular damage.
