Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Differences of HMGB1 levels between hypertensive patients with and without diastolic dysfunction | on the day of admission | Blood samples of all individuals are collected on the day of admission and HMGB1 levels are tested. Echocardiographic assessment is performed with echocardiography device by using 2.5-3.5 Mega Hertz(MHz) transducer in the lateral decubitis position. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Differences of HMGB1 levels between grades of diastolic dysfunction | on the day of admission | Blood samples of all individuals are collected on the day of admission and HMGB1 levels are tested. Echocardiographic assessment is performed with echocardiography device by using 2.5-3.5 Mega Hertz(MHz) transducer in the lateral decubitis position. |
