Abstract P351: Cornell Product in Electrocardiogram is More Strongly Related to LV Regional Wall Motion Than Sokolow-Lyon Voltage Session Title: Cardiac Hypertrophy and Dysfunction and Coronary Artery Disease and Hypertension
Backgrounds: Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) evaluated by Cornell product in electrocardiogram predicted future stroke events greater than LVH by Sokolow-Lyon voltage. Therefore, we evaluated whether Cornell product was related to regional myocardial wall motion greater than Sokolow-Lyon voltage.Methods: We enrolled 288 hypertensive patients who were performed echocardiography for evaluating target organ damage. Cornell product was calculated as follows; R in aVL lead + S in V3 lead (0.6 mV added in female)хQRS duration; Sokolow-Lyon voltage, R in V5 lead + S in lead V1. We evaluated left ventricular mass index (LVMI),...

Hypertensive Target Organ Damage and Longitudinal Changes in Brain Structure and Function: The Second Manifestations of Arterial Disease-Magnetic Resonance Study Cognitive Decline and Blood Pressure
We examined the association of hypertensive target organ damage with longitudinal changes in brain structure and function within the Second Manifestations of Arterial Disease–Magnetic Resonance (SMART-MR) study. Renal function, albuminuria, and left ventricular hypertrophy on electrocardiography were measured in 663 patients with manifest arterial disease (mean age, 57±9 years; 81% men). Automated brain segmentation was used to quantify progression of global brain atrophy (change in brain parenchymal fraction) and progression of cerebral small vessel disease on 1.5T magnetic resonance imaging, and memory and e...

Tight Versus Standard Blood Pressure Control in Patients With Hypertension With and Without Cardiovascular Disease Heart
In conclusion, an intensive treatment aimed to lower systolic BP<130 mm Hg reduced left ventricular hypertrophy and improved clinical outcomes to a similar extent in patients with hypertension and without established cardiovascular disease.

Abstract 364: Maternal History of Hypertension and Incident Atrial Fibrillation According to Blood Pressure Category in a General Urban Population: The Suita Study Poster Session II
Conclusions: A maternal history of hypertension is a predictor of incident AF. For persons with a maternal history of hypertension, BP control would be under normal BP for AF prevention.
