Prediction of the left ventricular mass index in hypertensive patients using the product of red cell distribution width and mean corpuscular volume.

The product of red cell distribution width (RDW) and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) has been identified as an indicator of target organ damage in cases of hypertension. However, the role of the RDW-MCV product in assessing carotid alteration, renal damage, and left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with hypertension has not been elucidated. In this cross-sectional study, a total of 1115 participants with hypertension were included.

Circ_0006251 mediates the proliferation and apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells in CAD via enhancing TET3 and PPM1B expression.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a serious global problem that has been considered to be a major cause of death. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) as a key player in the regulation of cardiac progression and disease. Nevertheless, most circRNAs are poorly understood.

Multiplicative interaction between mean corpuscular volume and red cell distribution width with target organ damage in hypertensive patients.

Background: Accumulating evidence suggests that increased red cell distribution width (RDW) and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) were both poor prognostic factors for patients with cardiovascular diseases. Recently, the multiplicative interaction between RDW and MCV has been observed for predicting mortality in elderly patients without anemia; however, the relationship between the product of RDW-MCV and hypertension-induced target organ damage (TOD) has not been evaluated.

Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study in 1115 hypertensive patients.
