Effect of different ranges of systolic blood pressure on left ventricular structure and diastolic function in a Chinese population: a cross-sectional population-based Shunyi study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To evaluate the effect of different ranges of systolic blood pressure (SBP) on left ventricular (LV) geometry and diastolic function in Chinese population.

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Setting

Peking Union Medical College Hospital in Beijing, China.

Participants

All inhabitants aged 35 years or older, living in five villages of Shunyi were invited. Exclusion criteria included individuals who declined participation, presence of moderate to severe valvular heart disease, persistent atrial fibrillation and suboptimal echocardiograms.

Interventions

The baseline data of 1051 participants were analysed. The relationship between SBP and LV geometric and diastolic function assessed by echocardiography was analysed after adjusting for conventional car
