Research paper thumbnail of RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ARTERIAL LOAD AND LV CONCENTRIC HYPERTROPHY ASSESSED WITH MRI

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2013

However, data relating arterial load assessed via proximal aortic pressure-low analyses and LV concentric hypertrophy assessed via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the gold standard non-invasive method for LV mass measurements, are not available.

Federal-qualified health centers (FQHCs) provide care for low-income and medically underserved populations. To assess the rates and predictors of blood pressure (BP) control in an FQHC in Michigan, a retrospective analysis of all patients with HTN, coronary artery disease, and/or diabetes mellitus (DM) seen between January 2006 and December 2008 was conducted. Of 212 patients identified, 154 had a history of HTN and 122 had DM. BP control was achieved in 38.2% of the entire cohort and in 31.1% of patients with DM. The mean age was lower in patients with controlled BP in both the total population (P=.05) and the DM subgroup (P=.02). A logistic regression model found only female sex (odds ratio, 2.27; P=.02) to be associated with BP control and a trend towards an association of age with uncontrolled BP (odds ratio, 0.97; P=.06). BP control in nondiabetics was 47.8% vs 31.1% in diabetic patients (P=.02). We found that patients who attended the FQHC had a lower rate of BP control compared with the national average. Our study revealed a male sex disparity and significantly lower rate of BP control among DM patients. J Clin Hypertens (Greenwich). 2013;15:254-263. ª2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
