BACKGROUND: With aging, left ventricle diastolic dysfunction due to pressure overload is an independent risk factor for morbidity and mortality. Mechanisms by which alterations in stretch-induced mechanotransduction contribute to left ventricular diastolic dysfunction remain unclear. Recently, since novel Z-disc related protein, myospryn, expressed in striated muscle cells, has been reported, we examined the relationship between myospryn polymorphisms and alterations in cardiac function with patients in larger population.<br>METHODS: A total of 743 patients with high blood pressure (defined as systolic blood pressure >140 mmHg and/or systolic blood pressure >90 mmHg or taking antihypertensive medication) were enrolled in this study. Two-dimensional ultrasound echocardiography, electrocardiography, blood pressure, serum glucose, cholesterol, creatinine, uric acid, and myospryn K2906N polymorphism.<br>RESULTS: The myospryn K2906N polymorphism was significantly associated with a marker of left ventricular diastolic cardiac dysfunction, A/E, which represents the ratio of the peak velocity of the early diastolic filling wave (E wave) to the atrial filling (A wave).<br>CONCLUSIONS: These data demonstrated that a polymorphism of myospryn was associated with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in hypertensive patients and provided the novel therapeutic target for cardiac adaptation in response to pressure overload as an anti-aging therapy.
