GENDER SPECIFICS OF HEART REMODELLING AND CIRCADIAN BLOOD PRESSURE PROFILE IN PATIENTS WITH ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION
Abstract
The examination of 126 patients with Stage II arterial hypertension (AH) demonstrated that in men, progressing left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) was associated with increased free wall thickness and especially interventricular septum thickness, without LV size or volume increase but with significant reduction in right ventricular (RV) length. In females, moderate LVH was linked to increased LV free wall and interventricular septum thickness, as well as to increased LV and RV volumes. In patients with severe LVH, women had inadequate night-time blood pressure drop more often than men.
