The polymorphism of the ACE gene affects left ventricular hypertrophy and causes disturbances in left ventricular systolic/diastolic function in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.

ABSTRACT: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the most frequently occurring autosomal diseases inherited in the dominant manner. Due to this, lesions in the cardiovascular system of ADPKD patients have caught the attention of clinical investigators worldwide. The aim of the study was to analyse cardiovascular complications in ADPKD patients with a focus on left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and selected components of its systolic/diastolic function based on echocardiography. The study was conducted on 55 patients with ADPKD (24 males, 31 females), subdivided into three groups according to the stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The patient group with ADPKD and ESRD (group C) manifested an increased incidence of the D allele as compared to group A and group B (χ(2) = 4.217, P = 0.04). In all ADPKD patients with the DD genotype, left ventricular mass (LVM), posterior wall thickness (PWT), and interventricular septal thickness (IVS) were significantly higher compared to patients possessing the II and ID genotypes (P < 0.02, P < 0.003, and P < 0.009, resp.). The DD genotype exists more frequently in ADPKD patients with ESRD and is associated with a higher occurrence of LVH and disturbances in systolic-diastolic function when compared to ADPKD ESRD patients with the II and ID genotypes.

Longitudinal Assessment of Left Ventricular Mass in Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease.

Project description:IntroductionThe high burden of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is related to development of hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy. Blood pressure reduction has been shown to reduce left ventricular mass in ADPKD; however, moderators and predictors of response to lower blood pressure are unknown.MethodsThis was a post hoc cohort analysis of HALT PKD study A, a randomized placebo controlled trial examining the effect of low blood pressure and single versus dual renin-angiotensin blockade in early ADPKD. Participants were hypertensive ADPKD patients 15 to 49 years of age with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) > 60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 across 7 centers in the United States. Predictors included age, sex, baseline eGFR, systolic blood pressure, total kidney volume, serum potassium, and urine sodium, potassium, albumin, and aldosterone. Outcome was left ventricular mass index (LVMI) measured using 1.5-T magnetic resonance imaging at months 0, 24, 48, and 60.ResultsReduction in LVMI was associated with higher baseline systolic blood pressure and larger kidney volume regardless of blood pressure control group assignment (P < 0.001 for both). Male sex and baseline eGFR were associated with a positive annual slope in LVMI (P < 0.001 and P = 0.07, respectively).ConclusionCharacteristics associated with higher risk of progression in ADPKD, including higher systolic blood pressure, larger kidney volume, and lower eGFR are associated with improvement in LVMI with intensive blood pressure control, whereas male sex is associated with a smaller slope of reduction in LVMI.

Cardiac magnetic resonance assessment of left ventricular mass in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.

Project description:Background and objectivesAutosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is associated with a substantial cardiovascular disease burden including early onset hypertension, intracranial aneurysms, and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). A 41% prevalence of LVH has been reported in ADPKD, using echocardiographic assessment of LV mass (LVM). The HALT PKD study was designed to assess the effect of intensive angiotensin blockade on progression of total kidney volume and LVM. Measurements of LVM were performed using cardiac magnetic resonance (MR).Design, setting, participants, & measurementsFive hundred forty-three hypertensive patients with GFR >60 ml/min per 1.73 m(2) underwent MR assessment of LVM at baseline. LVM was adjusted for body surface area and expressed as LVM index (LVMI; g/m(2)).ResultsBaseline BP was 125.1 ± 14.5/79.3 ± 11.6 mmHg. Average duration of hypertension was 5.79 years. Prior use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers was present in 59.5% of patients. The prevalence of LVH assessed using nonindexed LVM (g) was 3.9% (n = 21, eight men and 13 women) and 0.93% (n = 5, one man and four women) using LVMI (g/m(2)). In exploratory analyses, the prevalence of LVH using LVM indexed to H(2.7), and the allometric index ppLVmass(HW), ranged from 0.74% to 2.23% (n = 4 to 12). Multivariate regression showed significant direct associations of LVMI with systolic BP, serum creatinine, and albuminuria; significant inverse associations with LVMI were found with age and female gender.ConclusionsThe prevalence of LVH in hypertensive ADPKD patients <50 years of age with short duration of hypertension, and prior use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers is low. Early BP intervention in ADPKD may have decreased LVH and may potentially decrease cardiovascular mortality.

Association between serum uric acid and left ventricular hypertrophy/left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients with chronic kidney disease.

Project description:BackgroundThe level of serum uric acid (SUA) has been reported to be associated with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD). However, this association remains unclear in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).MethodsA total of 1025 patients with pre-dialysis CKD with preserved left ventricular systolic function were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. The LVH and LVDD were assessed using two-dimensional echocardiography and tissue Doppler imaging. The associations of LVH/LVDD with clinical and laboratory variables were investigated using univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses.ResultsIn a multivariable analysis, the SUA level was an independent predictor of LVH (odds ratio [OR]: 1.40, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.31-1.50, P < 0.001). In addition, patient age, systolic blood pressure, intact parathyroid hormone levels, and left atrial volume index levels were independent predictors of LVH. The SUA level was also an independent predictor of LVDD (OR: 1.93, 95% CI: 1.53-2.43, P < 0.001). Furthermore, systolic blood pressure and left atrial volume index levels were an independent predictor of LVDD. Receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the best cutoff values of SUA levels for identifying LVH and LVDD were ≥ 7.5 mg/dL and ≥ 6.3 mg/dL, respectively.ConclusionThe SUA level was an independent predictor of LVD and LVDD in patients with CKD, suggesting that SUA could be a biomarker for LVH and LVDD.

Effect of pravastatin on total kidney volume, left ventricular mass index, and microalbuminuria in pediatric autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.

Project description:In autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), progressive kidney cyst formation commonly leads to ESRD. Because important manifestations of ADPKD may be evident in childhood, early intervention may have the largest effect on long-term outcome. Statins are known to slow progressive nephropathy in animal models of ADPKD. This randomized double-blind placebo-controlled phase III clinical trial was conducted from 2007 to 2012 to assess the effect of pravastatin on height-corrected total kidney volume (HtTKV) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and urine microalbumin excretion (UAE) in children and young adults with ADPKD.There were 110 pediatric participants with ADPKD and normal kidney function receiving lisinopril who were randomized to treatment with pravastatin or placebo for a 3-year period with evaluation at 0, 18, and 36 months. The primary outcome variable was a ? 20% change in HtTKV, LVMI, or UAE over the study period.Ninety-one participants completed the 3-year study (83%). Fewer participants receiving pravastatin achieved the primary endpoint compared with participants receiving placebo (69% versus 88%; P=0.03). This was due primarily to a lower proportion reaching the increase in HtTKV (46% versus 68%; P=0.03), with similar findings observed between study groups for LVMI (25% versus 38%; P=0.18) and UAE (47% versus 39%; P=0.50). The percent change in HtTKV adjusted for age, sex, and hypertension status over the 3-year period was significantly decreased with pravastatin (23% ± 3% versus 31% ± 3%; P=0.02).Pravastatin is an effective agent to slow progression of structural kidney disease in children and young adults with ADPKD. These findings support a role for early intervention with pravastatin in this condition.

Association of interarm systolic blood pressure difference with atherosclerosis and left ventricular hypertrophy.

Project description:An interarm systolic blood pressure (SBP) difference of 10 mmHg or more have been associated with peripheral artery disease and adverse cardiovascular outcomes. We investigated whether an association exists between this difference and ankle-brachial index (ABI), brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), and echocardiographic parameters. A total of 1120 patients were included in the study. The bilateral arm blood pressures were measured simultaneously by an ABI-form device. The values of ABI and baPWV were also obtained from the same device. Clinical data, ABI<0.9, baPWV, echocariographic parameters, and an interarm SBP difference ≥10 mmHg were compared and analyzed. We performed two multivariate forward analyses for determining the factors associated with an interarm SBP difference ≥10 mmHg [model 1: significant variables in univariate analysis except left ventricular mass index (LVMI); model 2: significant variables in univariate analysis except ABI<0.9 and baPWV]. The ABI<0.9 and high baPWV in model 1 and high LVMI in model 2 were independently associated with an interarm SBP difference ≥10 mmHg. Female, hypertension, and high body mass index were also associated with an interarm SBP difference ≥10 mmHg. Our study demonstrated that ABI<0.9, high baPWV, and high LVMI were independently associated with an interarm SBP difference of 10 mmHg or more. Detection of an interarm SBP difference may provide a simple method of detecting patients at increased risk of atherosclerosis and left ventricular hypertrophy.

Subclinical impairment of dynamic left ventricular systolic and diastolic function in patients with obstructive sleep apnea and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Hypoxia affects myocardial oxygen supply resulting in subclinical cardiac dysfunction in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients, with cardiovascular complications being associated with increased oxidative burst (OB). The aims of our study were to assess left ventricular (LV) dynamic myocardial deformation and diastolic reserve at rest and upon exercise, along with OB determination in this patients subset. METHODS:Conventional echocardiography, Doppler myocardial imaging and LV 2D speckle tracking echocardiography were performed in 55 OSA patients with preserved LV ejection fraction (EF) and 35 age and sex-comparable healthy controls. Peripheral OB levels were evaluated by flow cytometry. RESULTS:Despite comparable LVEF, LV global longitudinal strain (GLS) was significantly reduced in OSA at rest (-?13.4?±?3.8 vs?-?18.4?±?3.3 in controls, P?<? 0.001) and at peak exercise (-?15.8?±?2.6 vs -?23.4?±?4.3, P?<? 0.001). Systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP) and E/E' ratios increase during effort were higher in OSA than in controls (?sPAP 44.3%?±?6.4 vs 32.3%?±?5.5, P?<? 0.0001, and ?E/E' 87.5%?±?3.5 vs 25.4%?±?3.3, P?<? 0.0001, respectively). The best correlate of E/E' at peak stress was peak exertion capacity (r?=?-?0.50, P?<? 0.001). OB was also increased in OSA patients (P?=?0.001) but, unlike OSA severity, was not associated with LV diastolic dysfunction. CONCLUSIONS:Evaluation of diastolic function and myocardial deformation during exercise is feasible through stress echocardiography. OSA patients with preserved LVEF show subclinical LV systolic dysfunction, impaired LV systolic and diastolic reserve, reduced exercise tolerance, and increased peripheral levels of OB. Therapy aimed at increasing LV diastolic function reserve might improve the quality of life and exercise tolerability in OSA patients.

Anthracyclines induce early changes in left ventricular systolic and diastolic function: A single centre study.

Project description:Aims2 dimensional (2D) strain analysis detects subclinical left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction. Our aim was to evaluate changes in LV systolic and diastolic function in breast cancer patients early after anthracycline chemotherapy, and to identify predisposing factors.Methods and results140 patients were assessed by detailed echocardiography before and within seven days post treatment. LV ejection fraction (LVEF), global longitudinal strain (GLS), strain rate and radial and circumferential strain were assessed. Additionally, left atrial volumes and LV diastolic parameters were evaluated. LVEF although reduced after treatment, remained within the normal range (60±3% vs. 59±3%, p = 0.04). Triplane GLS was significantly reduced after treatment (-20.0±1.6% vs. -19.1±1.8%, p<0.001). Subclinical LV dysfunction (>11% reduction in GLS compared to before therapy) occurred in 22% (29/135). Impaired diastolic function grade significantly increased from 46% to 57% (p<0.001) after treatment. Furthermore, diastolic dysfunction was more common in the subgroup group with reduced systolic GLS compared to those without changes in GLS (30% vs. 11%; p = 0.04). No risk factors or clinical parameters were associated with the development of subclinical LV dysfunction; however the percentage change in early diastolic strain rate and the E velocity were independent predictors of >11% reduction in GLS.ConclusionTwenty two percent of patients had subclinical LV dysfunction by GLS, whilst none had cardiotoxicity defined by LVEF, demonstrating that GLS is more sensitive for detection of subclinical LV systolic dysfunction immediately after anthracycline therapy. Diastolic dysfunction increased, particularly in the group with reduced GLS, demonstrating the close pathophysiological relationship between systolic and diastolic function.

Possible diverse contribution of coronary risk factors to left ventricular systolic and diastolic cavity sizes.

Project description:It is generally believed that risk factors damage the coronary arteries, cause myocardial ischemia, and consequently change the shape of the heart. On the other hand, each of the risk factors may also have a negative effect on the heart. However, it is very difficult to examine the effects of each of these risk factors independently. Therefore, it is necessary to select an appropriate statistical method and apply it efficiently. In this study, the effects of coronary risk factors on left ventricular size and cardiac function were investigated using structure equation modeling (SEM), and were shown as Bayesian SEM-based frequency polygons using selected two-dimensional contours. This study showed that each risk factor directly affected the shape of the heart. Because vascular risk and heart failure risk are likely to evolve at the same time, managing risk factors is very important in reducing the heart failure pandemic.

AAV9-mediated VEGF-B gene transfer improves systolic function in progressive left ventricular hypertrophy.

Project description:Mechanisms of the transition from compensatory hypertrophy to heart failure are poorly understood and the roles of vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) in this process have not been fully clarified. We determined the expression profile of VEGFs and relevant receptors during the progression of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). C57BL mice were exposed to transversal aortic constriction (TAC) and the outcome was studied at different time points (1 day, 2, 4, and 10 weeks). A clear compensatory phase (2 weeks after TAC) was seen with following heart failure (4 weeks after TAC). Interestingly, VEGF-C and VEGF-D as well as VEGF receptor-3 (VEGFR-3) were upregulated in the compensatory hypertrophy and VEGF-B was downregulated in the heart failure. After treatment with adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV9)-VEGF-B(186) gene therapy in the compensatory phase for 4 weeks the function of the heart was preserved due to angiogenesis, inhibition of apoptosis, and promotion of cardiomyocyte proliferation. Also, the genetic programming towards fetal gene expression, a known phenomenon in heart failure, was partly reversed in AAV9-VEGF-B(186)-treated mice. We conclude that VEGF-C and VEGF-D are associated with the compensatory LVH and that AAV9-VEGF-B(186) gene transfer can rescue the function of the failing heart and postpone the transition towards heart failure.

Association of isolated minor nonspecific ST-T abnormalities with left ventricular hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction.

Project description:The aim of this study was to examine the associations of isolated minor nonspecific ST-T abnormalities (NSSTTA) on 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) with left ventricular (LV) diastolic function and LV geometry on echocardiography. A cross-sectional study comprised of 74,976 Koreans who underwent ECG and echocardiography as part of a comprehensive health examination between March 2011 and December 2014. ECG was coded using Minnesota Code criteria. The frequencies of NSSTTA, impaired LV relaxation, and echocardiographic LVH were 1,139 (1.5%), 21,118 (28.2%), and 1,687 (2.3%) patients, respectively. The presence of NSSTTA was positively associated with the prevalence of impaired LV relaxation and LVH on echocardiography. In a multivariable-adjusted model, the odds ratio (95% CIs) comparing patients with NSSTTA to control patients was 1.55 (1.33-1.80) for impaired LV relaxation and 3.15 (2.51-3.96) for echocardiographic LVH. The association between NSSTTA and impaired LV relaxation was stronger in the intermediate to high cardiovascular disease-risk group than in the low-risk group according to Framingham Risk Score stratification (P for interaction?=?0.02). NSSTTA were associated with increased prevalence of impaired LV relaxation and LVH, suggesting NSSTTA as an early indicator of subclinical cardiac dysfunction and geometric abnormalities.
