https://www.selleckchem.com/products/tak-981.html The association of albuminuria, as measured by urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) concentration, with subclinical cardiac dysfunction in hypertensive patients is unclear. Our study aimed to examine its relationship in hypertensive patients compared with that in normotensive patients. The study participants were recruited from Danyang, a city of Jiangsu Province from 2017 to 2019. Categorical and continuous analyses were performed with sex-specific UACR tertiles and natural logarithmically transformed UACR, respectively. Comprehensive echocardiography including conventional imaging, tissue Doppler imaging, and 2D speckle tracking was performed using Philips CX50 device. The 2857 participants (mean age = 52.7 ± 11.8 years) included 1673 (58.6%) women, 1125 (39.4%) hypertensive patients, 546 (19.1%) patients with microalbuminuria, and 38 (1.3%) patients with macroalbuminuria. Comorbidities were increasingly prevalent across the tertiles of UACR. Increased left ventricular (LV) mass index, decreased global longitudinal strain (GLS) and LV ejection fraction, lower E/A ratio and e' velocity, and higher E/e' ratio were significantly associated with higher UACR on unadjusted analyses (p ≤ .01). After adjustment for covariates, UACR was only independently associated with lower GLS (tertile 3 = 20.7% vs. tertile 1 = 20.9%; p = .04). The results of hypertensive patients (p ≤ .04) but not normotensive patients (p ≥ .16) were similar to those of the total cohort. Subgroup analyses revealed similar results in patients without coronary artery disease, or without LV hypertrophy, or without diabetes. In conclusion, increased UACR is associated with worse subclinical systolic function in Chinese hypertensive patients but not in normotensive participants.In an infectious disease cohort study, individuals who have been infected with a pathogen are often recruited for follow up.
