Serum cystatin C concentration as an independent marker for hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy.

Published: Sep 1, 2013
Abstract
Serum cystatin C levels can be used to predict morbidity and mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease. However, the clinical relevance of serum cystatin C levels in patients with hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) has rarely been investigated. We designed the present study to investigate whether serum cystatin C levels are associated with cardiac structural and functional alterations in hypertensive patients.We enrolled 823...
