Abstract

Abstract Children and adolescents (n=3906, 10-15 years old) have been participating in a screening program for high blood pressure. Sixty-four individuals (17-23 years old) from this population were followed up for 8 years and four consecutive screenings and were stratified into three groups according to blood pressure: group 1 (n=23), ≥95th percentile for at least three of four evaluations; group 2 (n=28), P P P P P P

Abstract

Abstract To evaluate left ventricular structural changes and their relationship to blood pressure and anthropometric indexes, we examined by echocardiography 108 adolescents aged 13 to 19 years. Subjects were divided into three groups according to blood pressure tracking during three moments of observation: group 1 (n=27), ≥95th percentile; group 2 (n=37), ≤50th percentile; and group 3 (n=44), blood pressure not stable in the original percentile. Left ventricular mass index and the prevalence of altered left ventricular geometry were greater in group 1 ( P P P P P P P P P >.05). We conclude that left ventricular structural changes can occur early after initial abnormalities of blood pressure. Considering that body surface area and systolic pressure were the best predictors of left ventricular alterations in adolescents, the usual way of correcting left ventricular mass by body surface area should be reviewed.
