“…Prehypertension is defined as a systolic blood pressure ranging from 120 to 139 mm Hg and DiasBP ranging from 80 to 89 mm Hg. 25 Prehypertension is associated with increased CO, total peripheral vascular resistance index, and LVMi. 26 Persistent prehypertension accelerates the development of hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction of the heart.…”

Hypertension After Preeclampsia Is Preceded by Changes in Cardiac Structure and Function

P reeclampsia (PE), a serious hypertensive pregnancy disorder complicating 2% to 5% of all pregnancies, is characterized by new-onset hypertension along with de novo proteinuria after 20 weeks of gestation 1 or new-onset proteinuria that develops after 20 weeks in women with preexisting hypertension. Women with a history of PE have an increased risk to develop chronic hypertension and related cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. 2 PE is accompanied by concentric left ventricular remodeling along with diastolic dysfunction and reduced cardiac contractility.3 Accumulating evidence exists that women who experienced PE differ from their counterparts with uneventful pregnancies by persisting abnormal left ventricular geometry and decreased diastolic function.4-6 It may be that former patients with underlying susceptibility for cardiovascular disease (CVD) react to borderline blood pressure values by excessive cardiac remodeling that does not revert to normal after delivery. In this line of reasoning, the slight differences in left ventricular geometry and cardiac diastolic function may be an indication for an increased risk for chronic hypertension as an intermediate condition before later CVD. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that increased measures of cardiac geometry and decreased cardiac function persisting for ≥6 months postpartum in normotensive women with a history of PE precede the development of later chronic hypertension. Methods Study PopulationThe Maastricht University Medical Center (MUMC) Medical Ethics Committee approved our study protocol before patient enrolment (MEC 0-4-049). Since 1996, we perform postpartum screening ≥4 months postpartum in women who experienced a pregnancy complicated by a hypertensive disorder. The procedures followed were in accordance with institutional guidelines. Informed consent related to the use of clinically acquired data for scientific analysis is standard given at MUMC. Procedures adhere to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki and Title 45, US Code of Federal Regulations, Part 46, Protection of Human Subjects, Revised November 13, 2001, effective December 13, 2001. For the present study, we included all white primiparous women who were screened postpartum until 2008. PE was diagnosed on the basis of the criteria of the International Society for the Study of Hypertension in Pregnancy.7 Early-onset PE was defined as PE diagnosed before the 34th week of pregnancy. Subjects were scheduled for screening ≥4 weeks after stopping Abstract-Preeclampsia is associated with a 4-fold higher risk for developing remote chronic hypertension. Preeclampsia is accompanied by left ventricular hypertrophy and decreased diastolic function, which may or may not resolve postpartum. We tested the hypothesis that increased measures of cardiac geometry and decreased cardiac function persisting for ≥6 months postpartum in normotensive women with a history of preeclampsia precede the development of later chronic hypertension. Formerly preeclamptic women (n=652) underwent echocardio...

Purpose: To determine the association between Cystatin C (Cys C) levels and the interaction of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) with chronic diseases (CD). Methods: Participants (n = 356) were selected randomly from The First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College, China, and divided into 4 groups: normal control group (n = 80), PTB group (n = 98), chronic disease group (n = 146), and PTB combined with chronic disease group (PTB+CD, n = 31). The investigation included information on demographics and analysis of blood samples for Cys C, liver function, renal function, blood glucose and other biochemical indices.Results: The highest level of Cys C was obtained in PTB + CD group. Before and after adjusting eGFR, there was no association between Cys C and PTB or/and chronic disease. However abnormal levels of Cys C were significantly higher in PTB+CD group after adjusting eGFR (OR = 4.014, p = 0.0125). Conclusion:Higher levels of Cys C may be associated with chronic diseases co-existing with PTB.
