This study included 6137 overweight/obese youth; 437 had echocardiographic assessment. Hypertension was defined using either ESHG2016 or AAPG2017. ALVG was defined using 95th percentile for age and sex of left ventricular mass index (LVMi) and/or relative wall thickness (RWT) more than 0.38 (juvenile cut-offs) according to ESHG2016 or LVMi more than 51 g/h and/or RWT more than 0.42 (adult cut-offs) according to AAPG2017.
Prevalence of youth at a high risk of hypertension was 13% higher using AAPG2017 than ESHG2016. The increase was larger in overweight youth at least 13 years of age (+43%). Using the juvenile cut-offs for ALVG, youth at a high risk of hypertension by ESHG2016 had an odds ratio [95% confidence interval (95% CI)] of 3.03 (1.31-7.05) for left ventricular concentric remodelling (LVcr) and 2.53 (1.43-4.47) for concentric left ventricular hypertrophy (cLVH) as compared with youth with normal LVG. Similarly, in youth at a high risk of hypertension by AAPG2017, the odds ratio for LVcr was 3.28 (1.45-7.41, P < 0.001) and 3.02 (95% CI: 1.73-5.27, P < 0.001) for cLVH. Using the adult cut-offs, no significant difference in ALVG was found with both guidelines.
The prevalence of overweight/obese youth at a high risk of hypertension increased by 13% comparing AAPG2017 vs. ESHG2016. The juvenile cut-offs for ALVG were more effective than the adult criteria in intercepting individuals with a potentially higher cardiovascular risk.
这项研究包括6137名超重/肥胖青年;437人进行了超声心动图评估。使用ESHG2016或AAPG2017定义高血压。根据ESHG2016,左心室质量指数(LVMi)和/或相对壁厚(RWT)超过0.38(青少年临界值)的年龄和性别使用第95百分位数定义ALVG,或根据AAPG2017,LVMi超过51g/h和/或RWT超过0.42(成人临界值)。
使用AAPG2017的高血压高危青少年患病率比ESHG2016高13%。在至少13岁的超重青年中,增幅更大(43%)。使用ALVG的青少年切口,与LVG正常的青年相比,ESHG2016时高血压高危青年的左心室同心重塑(LVcr)比值比[95%可信区间(95%CI)]为3.03(1.31~7.05),同心左心室肥厚(cLVH)比值比[1.43~4.47].同样,根据AAPG2017,在高血压高危人群中,LVcr的比值比为3.28(1.45~7.41,P<0.001),cLVH的比值比为3.02(95%CI:1.73~5.27,P<0.001).使用成人截止日期,两种指南在ALVG方面均无显著差异.
与AAPG2017相比,超重/肥胖青年高血压高危人群的患病率增加了13%ESHG2016.在截获具有潜在较高心血管风险的个体方面,ALVG的青少年截止比成人标准更有效。
