About

Hypertensive heart disease (HHD) is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. In 2017, the prevalence of HHD worldwide was 217.9 per 100,000 people, an increase of 7.4% over 1990, which has brought huge financial burden and social and economic losses to the world. Therefore, HHD is a major public health challenge worldwide. In our previous studies, we found that miR-455-5p, a microRNA, could functioned as an inducer to promote cardiac hypertrophy. Because cardiac hypertrophy was a common phenomenon in patients with HHD, so it is interesting to clarify whether miR-455-5p could be employed as a marker to indicate the function and/or structure of heart in the development of HHD. Thus, the purpose of this study was to collect blood samples of hypertensive patients, as well as analysis the correlation between serum miR-455-5p level and cardiac function. The research could help doctors better predict the course of hypertensive heart disease and provide more effective treatments for different patients.

Full description

The purpose of this study was to collect blood samples of hypertensive patients, in order to clarify the correlation between serum miR-455-5p level and cardiac function. Generally, by using q-PCR assay, miR-455-5p level of each participants will be collected. Besides, SBP, DBP, LVPWd, LVIDd, IVSTd was detected by echocardiography and EF, FS, LVMi, RWT level was further calculated by LVIDd, LVPWd and IVSTd. Finally, the correlation of miR-455-5p level of HHD patients and LVPWd, LVIDd, IVSTd, EF, FS, LVMi, RWT, SBP, DBP was analysed.
