Abstract

The current echocardiography reference values are derived primarily from populations in North America and Europe. It becomes necessary to study ethnically different groups of the population, which often have different living conditions, food habits and lifestyle. The aim of the study was to compare echocardiography indicators in urbanized patients with arterial hypertension of the Shor and non-indigenous ethnic groups living in the Gornaya Shoria region. The study included patients with arterial hypertension: 58 Shors (20 men and 38 women) and 50 non-indigenous residents (15 men and 35 women) of Gornaya Shoria. All underwent an echocardiographic study with an assessment of the left heart parameters. We assessed the left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) severity, LV geometry and diastolic function in the ethnic and sex groups. Shor with hypertension no showed a significant difference in left ventricular dimensions compared to Caucasian. Severe abnormal LVH was associated in the Shors with glucose levels (OR 3.24, 95%CI 1.56-6.7, p=0,001), and in Caucasians with systolic (p=0.021) and diastolic (p=0.011) blood pressure, and heart rate (p=0.033). The Shor men were more likely to have normal LV diastolic function (p=0.029) and LV concentric remodeling (p=0.023), and less often to have normal LV geometry (p=0.015) compared to non-indigenous men. Thus, this study can be useful in assessing the impact of the development of arterial hypertension, as well as the impact of changing the lifestyle of the Shors when moving to the city from rural areas on ethnic differences in echocardiography.
