Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a risk factor for morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease. Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is the main target organ due to hypertension, which is a predictor of the development of cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure. Echocardiography is the gold standard examination for determining heart geometry, and concentric LVH is often found in hypertensive patients. Electrocardiography (ECG) is a widely available, low-cost, and rapid modality for diagnosing LVH in healthcare facilities. The Peguero–Lo Presti (PLP) criteria in ECG examination have better sensitivity and specificity compared to other criteria. Objectives: This study aims to determine the diagnostic value of PLP ECG to diagnose concentric LVH.Methods: This research is an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional approach carried out at the inpatient installation of Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang for 6 months, starting from April to September 2024. The study subjects who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were 90 samples selected by consecutive sampling. An ECG examination was conducted using PLP criteria and echocardiography with the M-mode method to assess left ventricle (LV) geometry. Data were analysed using a 2x2 table to obtain sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and diagnostic accuracy.Results: From 90 samples, LVH geometry was found concentric in 65.50%, eccentric 4.40%, concentric remodelling 11.10%, and normal 18.90%. In the diagnostic test, PLP criteria had 79.66% sensitivity, 90.32% specificity, 94.00% PPV, 70.00% NPV, and 83.33% accuracy to diagnose concentric LVH in hypertensive patients.Conclusion: Peguero Lo-Presti criteria on ECG can be used for screening and early diagnosis of concentric LVH in hypertensive patients.

Abstract

Introduction. Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a major microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus, characterized by persistent albuminuria and a progressive decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR), making it a leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease. Vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) is implicated in the pathogenesis of DKD, being overexpressed in the kidneys and contributing to increased vascular permeability, inflammation, and fibrosis. Albuminuria, an early indicator of renal damage in DKD, is a strong predictor of CKD progression and cardiovascular events. The urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) is the recommended test for detecting and monitoring albuminuria. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between serum VEGF-A levels and UACR in patients with DKD. Methods. This cross-sectional analytical observational study involving DKD patients at the Outpatient Clinic of Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang from May to October 2024. Demographic and clinical data were collected. Blood samples were taken for serum VEGF-A measurement using ELISA, and morning spot urine samples were collected for UACR measurement using immunoturbidimetry. Correlation analysis was performed using the Spearman test. Ethical approval was obtained from the Health Research Ethics Committee of Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang. Results. A total of 30 PGD patients were included in the study. The mean age was 61.9 years (SD 9.75), and 53.3% of the participants were male.The mean serum VEGF-A level in DKD patients was 131.34 (SD 83.9) pg/ml, and the mean UACR was 403.90 (SD 53.1) mg/g creatinine. There was a very strong positive correlation between serum VEGF-A levels and UACR (r = 0.993, p < 0.05). Conclusions. Serum VEGF-A levels are very strongly and positively correlated with UACR in DKD patients. Serum VEGF-A may serve as a potential marker for assessing DKD progression and risk of complications, as well as a potential therapeutic target.
