ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the anti hypertensive effect and effect on left ventricular hypertrophy of bisoprolol based therapy in young hypertension patients with left ventricular hypertrophy. Methods:By stratified cluster sampling, the patients with hypertension complicated with left ventricular hypertrophy were selected. The patients were divided into two groups according to the patients' medication: exposed group (bisoprolol + amlodipine, 206 cases) and control group (losartan + amlodipine, 231 cases). Changes of blood pressure, left ventricular mass index (LVMI), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), early diastolic transmitral velocity/late diastolic transmitral velocity (E/A), early diastolic tissue velocity/late diastolic tissue velocity (Em/Am) were compared before and after treatment.Results:There was no significant difference in effectiveness between exposed group and control group (86.89% vs. 84.85%) (P>0.05). The systolic blood pressure in the exposed group decreased from (150.71±18.32) mmHg to (127.95±11.36) mmHg, and the diastolic blood pressure decreased from (96.53±7.72) mmHg to (84.61±5.49) mmHg, which were significantly different from that before treatment (P<0.01). The systolic blood pressure in the control group decreased from (151.23±17.84) mmHg to (129.67±13.78) mmHg, and the diastolic blood pressure decreased from (99.25±7.46) mmHg to (85.77±4.30) mmHg, which were significantly different from that before treatment (P<0.01). There were no significant difference in blood pressure between the two groups before and after treatment (P>0.05). The E/A value of exposed group increased from (0.77±0.14) to (0.85±0.12), which was significantly different from that before treatment (P<0.05). The E/A value of control group increased from (0.78±0.13) to (0.86±0.12), which was significantly different from that before treatment (P<0.05). The Em/Am value of exposed group increased from (0.60±0.13) to (0.72±0.11), which was significantly different from that before treatment (P<0.05). The Em/Am value of control group increased from (0.65±0.10) to (0.77±0.11), which was significantly different from that before treatment (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in E/A value and Em/Am value between the two groups before and after treatment (P>0.05). There were an upward trend in LVEF and a downward trend in LVMI in both groups, but the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusion: The difference between effect of bisoprolol and losartan on left ventricular hypertrophy in young hypertension patients is not statistically significant. The bisoprolol can be used as an alternative to the young hypertension patients with left ventricular hypertrophy. |
