Abstrakt: Aim: To examine conduction system and repolarization in the ventricles and heart rate variability in hypertensive patients with consideration of 24-h blood pressure profile, left ventricular (LV) geometry and metabolic disorders.
Material and Methods: 24-h monitoring of blood pressure, diagnostic transesophageal electrostimulation of the left ventricle, echocardiography were made and duration and dispersion of QT interval, variability of the intervals R-R (SDNN) were assessed in 73 untreated patients aged 42 to 57 years with essential hypertension of the second degree.
Results: It is shown that hypertensive patients having left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), metabolic syndrome (MS) and pathologic 24-h blood pressure profile have also a depressed function of the sinus-atrial node and atrioventricular conduction, marked electric instability of the atria and ventricles. Such patients are at high risk to develop arrhythmia (3-5 times higher than patients without LVH, MS, with normal circadian blood pressure rhythm).
Conclusion: Electric heart remodeling associated with LVH, MS and disturbances of circadian blood pressure pattern enhances electric instability and risk to develop cardiac arrhythmia.
