NCT05465746

Brief Summary

Delay in the diagnosis of systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) causes morbid hypertensive status with target organ damage (TOD). Screening and surveillance of SAH used to be performed through self-measurement of blood pressure (SMBP) or routinary in clinic blood pressure measurement (CBPM). It is essential to determine the correlation between the cumulative blood pressure load through ABPM and the left ventricular mass identified by three-dimensional transthoracic ultrasound (3D-TTE). We postulate a directly proportional and statistically significant association between cumulative blood pressure load and left ventricular mass (LVM).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • 24-hour systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP & DBP)

    The ABPM study will allow obtaining results of the mean BP in 24 hours, day and night; BP variability; and the pressure load. According to the international HBP guideline, normal BP will be considered below 135/85 mmHg during the twenty-four hours or during the day or below 120/70 mmHg at night. BP load is the percentage of BP measurements above 135/85 mmHg.

    24 hours

  • Left ventricular mass index (LVMI)

    LVMI will be considered high when it exceeds 115 g/m2 of the body surface in men and 95 g/m2 in women. Each 3D-TTE will be performed by an echocardiographic cardiologist with experience in more than 5,000 3D-TTEs performed on adults annually. For the LVMI estimate to be as unbiased as possible, she will perform the 3D-TTE blind to any clinical history before completing the ABPM.

Study Arms (1)

Adults with an indication of SAH screening

Patients who attend the physician's office or the emergency room (ER) with signs and symptoms of high systemic arterial blood pressure will be indicated for ABPM and TTE

Diagnostic Test: 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM)Diagnostic Test: Three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography

Interventions

Using a WatchBPO3 AFIB device (Microlife) placed around the left upper arm, BP measurements will be recorded every twenty minutes during the day and every thirty minutes at night, over a twenty-four-hour period. The device will automatically calculate the BP and the twenty-four-hour average BP, day, night, and cumulative BP load

Adults with an indication of SAH screening

Using an EPIQ CVx (Philips) echocardiograph with an ultrasound sector transducer, 3D-TTE will be performed to assess the LVM index.
