RT3DE data of 18 patients with HHD, 20 patients with CAD and 22 normal controis (NC) were acquired. Left ventricular end-diastolic volume (EDV) and left ventricular end-diastolic epicardial volume (EDVepi) were detected by RT3DE and two-dimensional echocardiography Simpson biplane method (2DE). LVRI (left ventricular mass/EDV) was calculated and compared. The results showed that LVRI measurements detected by RT3DE and 2DE showed significant differences inter-groups (P〈0.01). There was no significant difference in NC group (P〉0.05), but significant difference in HHD and CAD intra-group (P〈0.05). There was good positive correlations between LVRI detected by RT3DE and 2DE in NC and HHD groups (t=0.69, P〈0.01; r=0.68, P〈0.01), but no significant correlation in CAD group (r=0.30, P〉0.05). It was concluded that LVRI derived from RT3DE as a new index for evaluating left ventricular remodeling can provide more superiority to LVRI derived from 2DE.展开更多

Methods:A total of 92 cases of patients with coronary heart disease with mild to moderate hypertension were selected as the object of observation, according to the random data table, they were divided into the control group (n=46) and observation group (n=46), and patients in the control group were treated with Nifedipine Controlled Release Table therapy, on this basis, the observation group patients were given telmisartan treatment, two groups were treated for 6 months. The levels of the blood pressure, inflammatory factors, vascular endothelial function and left ventricular function compared between the two groups before and after treatment. Results: There were no significant differences in the levels of SBP, DBP, hs-CRP, TNF-α, NO, ET-1, LVEF, LVEDD and LVESD in the two groups before treatment. After treatment, two groups of SBP, DBP, hs-CRP, TNF-α, ET-1, LVEDD and LVESD levels were significantly lower than those in the same group before treatment, and after treatment, the levels of SBP, DBP, hs-CRP, TNF-α, ET-1 and LVESD in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group, while there were no significant difference in the level of LVEDD between the two groups after treatment;Compared with level in the group before treatment, the levels of NO and LVEF in the two groups were significantly increased, and the observation group [(82.13±19.01) μmol/L, (52.83±7.45)%] was significantly higher than the control group ((67.37±13.08) μmol/L, (49.47±6.96)%)Conclusion: Telmisartan combined with Nifedipine Controlled Release Table in treating coronary heart disease with mild to moderate hypertension, can effectively control blood pressure, reduce the inflammatory stress, improve vascular endothelial function and left ventricular function of patients, has an important clinical value.展开更多

Indeed, PH is an independent risk factor and predicts adverse prognosis for patients with left heart disease(LHD). Clinically, there are no drugs or treatments that directly address PH-LHD, and treatment of LHD alone will not also ameliorate PH. To target the underlying physiopathological alterations of PH-LHD and to develop novel therapeutic approaches for this population, animal models that simulate the pathophysiology of PH-LHD are required. There are several available models for PH-LHD that have been successfully employed in rodents or large animals by artificially provoking an elevated pressure load on the left heart, which by transduction elicits an escalated pressure in pulmonary artery. In addition, metabolic derangement combined with aortic banding or vascular endothelial growth factor receptor antagonist is also currently applied to reproduce the phenotype of PH-LHD. As of today, none of the animal models exactly recapitulates the condition of patients with PH-LHD. Nevertheless, the selection of an appropriate animal model is essential in basic and translational studies of PH-LHD. Therefore, this review will summarize the characteristics of each PH-LHD animal model and discuss the advantages and limitations of the different models.展开更多

Methods The Streptavidin-peroxidase (SP) immunoassay was used to measure the expression of ET-1 in pulmonary arteriola, pulmonary veinlet, endocardium and endangium of vasa coronary of 20 cases VSD of CHD with PH, and contrast the expression level of these 20 cases VSD of CHD with PH. Results The expression of ET-1 PH patients in pulmonary arteriola, endocardium, and endangium of vasa coronary was much higher than that of the control group (P<0.05), but there was no significance variance in expression level of pulmonary veinlet between two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion If VSD of CHD was accompany with PH, the degree of PH has a positive correlation with the amount of ET-1 in pulmonary arteriola, ET-1 may be the cause of dynamic PH, and also the acceleration factor of the PH. However, the amount of ET-1 in endocardium and endangium of vasa coronary, may have significant connection with the myocardium hypertrophy in dynamic PH.展开更多
