Abstract:
Objective To investigate the relationship between serum soluble semaphorin 4 D(sSema4 D), growth differentiation factor-15(GDF-15), Chemerin and left ventricular remodeling in essential hypertensive(EH) patients. Methods From January 2016 to January 2018, 236 EH patients who visited the department of cardiology were selected as subjects. According to the left ventricular mass index(LVMI), the patients were divided into two groups: hypertension with left ventricular hypertrophy(EH+LVH) group(n=98) and hypertension without left ventricular hypertrophy group(EH+NLVH group, n=138). A total of 100 healthy people who visited the hospital for physical examination at the same time were selected as the control group. The general information, the level of serum sSema4 D, GDF-15 and Chemerin among the three groups were compared, and Pearson correlation analysis and Logistic multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the correlation between sSema4 D, GDF-15, Chemerin and left ventricular remodeling. Results The systolic and diastolic blood pressure in EH+LVH group(161.4±10.2)/(99.1±6.3) mm Hg and EH+NLVH group(154.5±9.8)/(93.5±7.1)mm Hg were significantly higher than that in control group(112.1±9.1)/(79.0±8.1)mm Hg, P<0.05. The levels of serum sSema4 D (1 268.9±153.7) vs(913.6±136.9) vs(402.6±120.6)ng/L, GDF-15 (1 215.5±369.2) vs(1 063.7±341.3) vs(321.6±95.8) ng/L, Chemerin (701.4±134.7) vs(491.3±117.7) vs(314.6±102.3) g/L, left ventricular end-diastolic dimension LVEDd:(55.2±6.4) vs(52.4±5.9) vs(50.4±5.6) mm, and LVMI (128.4±10.2) vs(95.3±8.7) vs(71.3±7.6)g/m~2 in EH+LVH group were significantly higher than those in EH+NLVH group and control group(P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that there were positive correlation between sSema4 D, GDF-15, Chemerin and LVDd, LVMI in EH patients(r=0.561, 0.701, 0.602; 0.557, 0.734, 0.715, P<0.05). Multiple stepwise Logistic regression analysis showed that sSema4 D, GDF-15, Chemerin were risk factors for ventricular remodeling in patients with EH OR(95% CI):1.099(1.014-1.190),1.059(1.016-1.103),1.338(1.070-1.673). Conclusion sSema4 D, GDF-15, Chemerin may be involved in the pathological process of left ventricular remodeling in patients with EH.
