| Popis: | Background The relationship between electrocardiographic evaluation and circadian blood pressure (BP) variation in young and middle-aged hypertensive patients remains unknown. Methods A total of 171 hypertensive patients were included in the study. First, patients were divided into a young and middle-aged group and an elderly group. The two groups were then separately classified into three subgroups on the basis of circadian variation of BP as dippers, non-dippers and reverse-dippers. The electrocardiographic evaluation was calculated from 12-lead electrocardiography (ECG). Results QTc intervals were shortest in the dippers and longest in the reverse-dippers in the young and middle-aged group (QTc dipper: 416.53±18.37ms; non-dipper: 438.30±29.71ms; reverse-dipper: 444.93±25.47ms; for dipper vs non-dipper, and dipper vs reverse-dipper P Conclusion Our study suggested that QTc interval might serve as a risk factor for non-dipper BP pattern and reverse-dipper BP pattern in young and middle-aged hypertensive patients. |
