The purpose of the study is to make a selection of patients with left ventricular hypertrophy from Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) values. We studied 39 patients, 23 men and 16 women, without treatment. These patients had systolic pressure > 140 mmHg and/or diastolic pressure > 90. With ABPM we measured mean systolic (MS) and diastolic (MD) pressure during the day (D) and the night (N), the percentages of systolic values (%S) > 160 mmHg and of diastolic values (%D) > 95 mmHg. With echocardiography we measured left ventricular mass index (LVMI: Devereux) and with pulsed Doppler peak of early (E) and late (A) ventricular filling and the ration A/E. We found the same amount of correlations between ABPM and echocardiographic parameters as other authors. [table: see text] The study of LVMI found a difference between groups when MD were > 140/90 (*) and A was significantly greater in patients with MSD > 140 (*). LVMI was greater in patients with MDD > 80 (*) and A was greater in patients with MSN > 120 (*). Predictive value of MSD > 140: 53% specificity: 79%. Predictive value of MSN > 120: 80% specificity: 45.8%. We concluded that the correlations between ABPM and echocardiographic disturbances are not very strong, but significant. If the predictive value of MSF is low, his specificity is rather high and conversely MSN has a good predictive value for selection of hypertrophic patients.
