The different associations between platelet distribution width and hypertension subtypes in males and females.

ABSTRACT: The prevalence of hypertension has increased rapidly in recent years. Currently, increasing attention has been paid to the relationship between hypertension and platelet abnormalities. As a simple and available platelet parameter, platelet distribution width (PDW) can reflect platelet abnormalities and further reflect the risk of thrombotic diseases. However, the views on PDW and hypertension are controversial at present studies. Hence, we aimed to find the associations between PDW and hypertension subtypes in the present study. A total of 73,469 participants (44,665 males and 28,804 females) were enrolled. We found that PDW was a risk factor for isolated systolic hypertension (ISH), and the risk of ISH increased with PDW quartiles among women. In men, high PDW might be a risk factor for isolated diastolic hypertension and systolic-diastolic hypertension.

Project description:Rationale: Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a prognostic factor in many diseases; however, its clinical utility remains limited because the relative value of RDW as a biomarker across disease states has not been established. Objectives: To establish an unbiased RDW disease hierarchy to guide the clinical use of RDW and to assess its relationship to cardiovascular hemodynamic and structural parameters. Methods: We performed phenome-wide association studies for RDW in discovery and replication cohorts derived from a deidentified electronic health record in nonanemic individuals. RDW values obtained within 30 days of echocardiogram or right heart catheterization were tested for association with structural and hemodynamic variables. Results: RDW was associated with 263 phenotypes in both men and women in the discovery cohort (n?=?121,530), 48 of which replicated in an independent cohort (n?=?2,039). The strongest associations were observed with pulmonary arterial hypertension (odds ratio [OR], 2.1; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.9-2.3), chronic pulmonary heart disease (OR, 2.0; 95% CI, 1.9-2.2), and congestive heart failure (OR, 1.9; 95% CI, 1.8-2.0); P?<?1?×?10-74 for all. By echocardiography, RDW was higher in the setting of right ventricular dysfunction than left ventricular dysfunction (P?<?0.001). Measured invasively, mean pulmonary arterial pressure was associated with RDW (21 vs. 33 mm Hg at 25th vs. 75th percentile RDW; P?<?1?×?10-7) and remained strongly significant even when controlling for mean pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (21 vs. 29 mm Hg at 25th vs. 75th percentile RDW; P?<?1?×?10-7). Conclusions: Among 1,364 coded medical conditions, increased RDW was strongly associated with pulmonary hypertension and heart failure. Hemodynamic and echocardiographic phenotyping confirmed these associations and underscored that the most clinically relevant phenotype associated with RDW was pulmonary hypertension. These hypothesis-generating findings highlight the potential shared pathophysiology of pulmonary hypertension and elevated RDW. Elevated RDW in the absence of anemia should alert clinicians to the potential for underlying cardiopulmonary disease.
