Abstract EN
This study compared the estimated prevalence and potential determinants of left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction upon applying different classification criteria in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
LV diastolic function was assessed echocardiographically by pulsed Doppler (E/A), tissue Doppler (E/e′, lateral and septal e′), and left atrial volume index in 176 RA patients.
Relationships of traditional cardiovascular risk factors and RA characteristics with LV diastolic function and dysfunction according to previous and current criteria were determined in multivariate regression models.
Waist-hip ratio was associated with E/A (standardised β (SE) = -0.28±0.09, p=0.0002) and lateral e′ (standardised β (SE) = 0.26±0.09, p=0.01); low diastolic blood pressure was related to E/e′ (standardised β (SE) = -0.16±0.08, p=0.04).
Diastolic dysfunction prevalence differed upon applying previous (59%) compared to current (22%) criteria (p<0.0001).
One SD increase in waist-hip ratio was associated with diastolic dysfunction when applying current criteria (OR = 2.61 (95% CI = 1.51–4.52), p=0.0006), whereas one SD increase in diastolic blood pressure was inversely related to diastolic dysfunction upon using previous criteria (OR = 0.57 (95% CI = 0.40–0.81), p=0.002).
In conclusion, application of current and previous diastolic dysfunction criteria markedly alters the prevalence and risk factors associated with diastolic dysfunction in RA.
