Abstract:Background:
Secreted frizzled-related protein 2 (sFRP2) is involved in
various cardiovascular diseases. However, its relevance in left ventricular (LV)
remodeling in patients with hypertension (HTN) is obscure.
Methods:
In
this study, 196 patients with HTN were included, 59 with echocardiographic LV
remodeling. A total of 100 healthy subjects served as normal controls. The
serum-sFRP2 level was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Data
were colle… Show more
