Abstract

The aim is to investigate the frequency of adverse cardiovascular events in patients with primary hypertension (PH) depending on plasma catestatin (CST) and relaxin-2 (RLN-2) levels during 12-months follow-up. Materials and methods. 136 study participants were involved in the study: 106 patients with PH and 30 healthy volunteers. Depending on the presence of concomitant type 2 diabetes (T2DM), patients with PH were divided into 2 groups: 1st group – 55 patients with PH and T2DM, 2nd group – 51 patients with PH without T2DM. All study subjects underwent a comprehensive clinical examination, laboratory and instrumental investigations at the screening visit with follow-up during 12 months regarding the development of endpoints: cardiac death, ischemic stroke, acute myocardial infarction, acute heart failure. Plasma CTS and RLN-2 concentrations were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Statistical data analysis was performed using the SPSS 25.0 statistical software. Results. Major adverse cardiovascular events were registered in patients with PH, while there were not detected any endpoint in the control group. A slightly higher frequency of endpoint development was observed in patients with PH and T2DM, but the difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05). There was established a significantly higher frequency of the development of endpoints in patients with CTS concentrations<5.44 ng/ml (p=0.01), while no differences were found regarding the development of cardiovascular complications depending on RLN-2 levels (p=0.37). Conclusions. PH leads to an increased risk of cardiac mortality and non-fatal serious cardiovascular complications. The established increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events in PH patients with lower concentrations of CTS indicates the relationship of CTS levels with the course of the disease and its potential in the diagnosis of PH.
