Plasma rennin activity,angiotensin Ⅱ and electrocardiogram manifestation among hypertensives

Objective To explore the relationship bewteen plasma rennin activity(PRA),angiotensin Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ)and ischemic electrocardiogram manifestation(IEM)among hyperten sives.Methods Based on a cross sectional study on hyperten sion,electro cardio gram examination was conducted amonga Monglian population.PRA and Ang Ⅱ were tested for 468 patients with hyperten sion.SPSS 13.0 sofwtare was used to analyze the data.Results There was no significant difference in PRA and Ang Ⅱ levels between subjects with IEM and normal EM(PRA:1.37 vs 1.38 ng/mL·h;Ang Ⅱ:51.3 vs 53.0 pg/mL,P>0.05).The multivariate logistic analysis showed that the oddsratios of PRA and Ang Ⅱ levels for IEM were not significant(P>0.05)among the subjects.Conclusion The levels of PRA and Ang Ⅱ are not associated with IEM among patients with hypertension.
