Abstract

Background: LVH is highly prevalent in patients with CKD and is independently associated with subsequent cardiovascular events. We hypothesized that adding systolic blood pressure values to LVH might differentiate different subgroups of patients at higher risk of cardiovascular events (CVE) and other adverse outcomes.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study of 243 patients older than 60 years with stages 1-5 pre-dialysis CKD. LVH was assessed by electrocardiogram or echocardiogram.
Results: Cardiovascular events occurred in 7 patients (10.3%) among those with SBP?<130 and no LVH, 8 patients (10.5%) among those with SBP ≥130 and no LVH, 7 patients (21.2%) among those with SBP <130 and LVH and 25 patients (37.9%) among those with SBP?≥?130 and LVH. On multivariate analyses, comparing to SBP?
Conclusion: The combination of higher systolic blood pressure and LVH might identify older patients with CKD at higher risk of cardiovascular outcomes.
