Correlation bone mineral density and cardiovascular remodeling in male patients

Abstract

The study involved 80 male patients (40 patients with osteoporosis and 40 patients with normal bone mineral density) with 1-2 stages of arterial hypertension, moderate and high cardiovascular risks. Also examined 70 male patients (40 patients with osteopenia and osteoporosis and 30 patients with normal bone mineral density - the control group) with normal blood pressure. All patients underwent trans-thoracic echocardiography and osteodensitometry (Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry). Decreased bone mineral density in male patients has been shown to be a marker of unfavorable concentric variants of cardiac remodeling.
