Tiivistelmä
Background-Patients with hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) are prone to develop heart failure. We tested the hypothesis that compensatory LVH is associated with normalization of myocardial oxygen consumption and that this occurs at the expense of a decrease in the ratio between cardiac work and oxygen consumption (efficiency).Methods and Results-Nine hypertensive men with LVH (LVH+) (age 42+/-2 years), left ventricular mass index (LVMI) 161+/-8 g/m(2), blood pressure (BP) 145+/-16/88+/-10 mm Hg (mean+/-SD); 8 hypertensive men without LVH (LVH-) (age 39+/-5 years, LVMI 107+/-15 g/m(2), BP 140+/-15/90+/-11 mm Hg); and 10 normotensive men (CONT) were studied. Myocardial blood flow, oxygen consumption, and glucose uptake were measured during euglycemic hyperinsulinemia using PET techniques. LV dimensions, volumes, and workload were determined by echocardiography, and efficiency was calculated. Myocardial workload (2.5+/-0.8 versus 3.0+/-0.6 versus 2.3+/-0.5 mm Hg.mL.min(-1).g(-1) for CONT versus LVH- versus LVH+; P<0.05, LVH- versus LVH+), myocardial blood flow (0.84+/-0.16 versus 1.06+/-0.22 versus 0.81+/-0.09 mL.g(-1).min, respectively; P<0.05, LVH- versus other groups) and oxygen consumption (0.09+/-0.02 versus 0.14+/-0.03 versus 0.11+/-0.01 ml.g(-1).min(-1), respectively; P<0.05, LVH- versus other groups) were increased in the LVH- group. Myocardial efficiency was reduced in the LVH+ group (18.1+/-4.1% versus 15.1+/-2.3% versus 13.5+/-1.9%, respectively; P<0.05, LVH+ versus CONT).Conclusions-Myocardial oxygen consumption per unit weight is increased in hypertensive patients without LVH but is normal in those with LVH. The normalization of oxygen consumption via hypertrophy occurs at the expense of efficiency, which may predispose hypertensive patients with LVH to heart failure.
