  ABSTRACT: To determine the effects of nebivolol on diastolic functions of the left ventricle in the hypertensive patients in the early treatment period. Twenty patients with mild to moderate hypertension taking daily 5 mg of nebivolol were assessed by using Doppler echocardiography before and after 6-week drug treatment period. The results were analyzed with Wilcoxon test and p<0.05 was accepted as statistically significant value. The arterial blood pressure and heart rate of the patients significantly decreased after 6 weeks of treatment. Statistically significant decrease was found in the peak of A wave velocity, isovolumetric relaxation time, E wave deceleration time and increase in E/A ratio with Doppler echocardiography after 6-week treatment period. No statistically significant difference was observed in the peak velocity of E wave after treatment period. We found that nebivolol improved left ventricular diastolic function in patients with hypertension in the early term.

  ABSTRACT: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease which may show cardiac involvement. The effect of AS on aortic elasticity has not been previously defined. The aim of this study was to determine whether there was any change in aortic elasticity in AS. Thirty-five AS patients without cardiovascular involvement and 30 healthy subjects were enrolled into the study. Aortic strain, distensibility index and stiffness index beta were calculated from aortic diameters measured by echocardiography and blood pressures simultaneously measured by sphygmomanometry. The mean aortic strain and distensibility indexes in the AS group were lower than those in the control group. The mean aortic stiffness index in the AS group was higher than that in the control group (p < 0.05). No correlation between the means and the duration was observed in the AS group. We found that in AS patients without cardiac involvement, aortic elasticity was decreased and this decrease was not correlated with the duration of AS.
