    Objective of the study was to evaluate the association of NT-pro BNP to cardio-metabolic risk factors, including the metabolic syndrome. Research method: This study was included 194 participant s aged from 35- to 64 years, who were health checkup examinee’s and had no clinical symptoms of heart failure. Cardio-metabolic risk factors were detected by clinical examinations and laboratory test. Metabolic syndrome was defined according to the International Diabetes Federation definition. NT-pro BNP determination was performed on an immunoassay analyzer (FIA8000, Getein Bio Medical Inc). The cut-off point for NT-pro BNP was 125pg/ml. We examined with multivariate linear regression of the relationship between NT-pro BNP and cardio-metabolic risk factors. A logistic regression analysis was also performed to assess the influence of cardio-metabolic risk factors and metabolic syndrome on NT- pro BNP values. Research results: A total of 194 participants included in the study of which, 75 (38.6%) were men and 119 (61.4%) were women. The mean age was 51.3±7.9 75 years. Thirty-two participant s (16.5%) showed elevated NT-pro BNP levels of ≥125 pg/ml. Sixty-one (31.4%) participants had metabolic syndrome. Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that age (β=0.140, P=0.049), systolic blood pressure (β=0.198, P=0.007) and diastolic blood pressure (β=0.174, P=0.018) were positively correlated with NT-pro BNP levels, while body mass index (β=-0.209, P=0.004) was negatively correlated with NT-pro BNP levels. Age (OR=1.07, P=0.011) and hypertension (OR=5.98, P=0.007) were the independent predictors of elevated NT-pro BNP levels. Conclusion: NT-pro BNP levels were significantly increased in participants with hypertension and metabolic syndrome and were lower in obesity.

    The Pre-Heart Failure in Hypertension
    The objectives of this study were to detect pre-heart failure based on NT-proBNP in subjects with hypertension and to identify the risk factors for pre-heart failure. Research methods: We conducted a cross -sectional study between August and December 2022. This study was included 526 subjects with hypertension aged from 35- to 64 years, who had no clinical symptoms of heart failure. Cardiovascular risk factors were detected by clinical examinations and laboratory test. Hypertension was defined as systolic BP ≥ 130 mm Hg, diastolic BP ≥ 80 mm Hg, and/or receiving treatment with anti-hypertensive agents. NT-pro BNP determination was performed on an immunoassay analyzer (Getein 1100). An elevated NT-pro BNP was defined as a NT-pro BNP ≥ 125pg/ml. Pre-heart failure was based on elevated NT-pro BNPlevel. Ethical statement Research ethical permission was obtained from the Biomedical Ethics Committee of Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences. Research results: In total, 526 hypertensive subjects s aged 35-64 year enrolled in this study, of which, 243 (46.2%) were men and mean age was 52.5±7.7 years. The prevalence of pre-heart failure based on NT-pro BNP in women was non-significantly higher than in men(17.3% vs 14.0%, p= 0.297). The prevalence of pre-heart failure increased from 4.0% for men aged 35-44 years to 20.9% for men aged 55-64 years. Based on our logistic regression analysis, the likelihood of elevated NT-pro BNP in hypertensive subjects was independently associated with age(OR 2.18, 95%CI 1.51-3.14) and poor blood pressure control(OR 2.41, 95%CI 1.29-4.50). Conclusion: The present study showed that the overall prevalence of pre-heart failure in hypertensive subjects was 15.8% and increased with age. The poor blood pressure control and ageing were significant risk factors in the development pre-heart failure in subjects with hypertension.

    PS-C22-4: ASSOCIATION OF ATRIAL NATRIURETIC PEPTIDE GENETIC POLYMORPHISMS WITH ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION IN MONGOLIAN POPULATION
    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2023-01-01) ; ; ;
    Objective of the present study was to evaluate the association between polymorphisms of atrial natriuretic peptide(ANP) gene and arterial hypertension. Design and method: This study was conducted in Ulaanbaatar between October 2018 and November 2019 years. A case-control study was performed in 123 subjects including 82 hypertensives and 41 normotensive subjects, aged 20–60 years. The family history of cardiovascular disease and risk factors of hypertension were taken by questionnaires and body mass index, systolic and diastolic pressures were evaluated by physical examination. Hypertension was defined as systolic BP ≧ 130 mm Hg and/or diastolic BP ≧ 80 mm Hg. After isolation DNA from peripheral blood, specific primers were used for PCR to detect the mutations of gene by using ThermoFisher dream Tag DNA Polymerase. QIAGEN QIAquick PCR purification kit and QIAquick Gel extraction kit were used to establish nucleic acid sequence. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences and all subjects participated in the study after making signed informed consents. Results: The mean age of the participants was 40.2 years and 56.1% were men. The T2325C variant of ANP gene was identified in 4.9% of all participants. According to the genotype results, the frequencies of T2325C polymorphism of the ANP gene were 1.2% in hypertensive patients and 12.2% in normotensive subjects respectively. The partial DNA sequence in ANP gene was shown in Figure 1. DNA sequencing showed a thymine to serine substitution at nucleotide 2325. Compared with individuals without T2325C polymorphism, individuals with T2325C polymorphism had higher percentage of family history of cardiovascular disease. Conclusion: The genetic polymorphism in ANP gene identified for the first time in the Mongolia. This case-control study indicated that the ANP T2325C gene polymorphism may have no relationship with arterial hypertension.

    We examined the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of primary care doctors in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia using a recently developed World Hypertension League survey. The survey was administered as part of a quality assurance initiative to enhance hypertension control. A total of 577 surveys were distributed and 467 were completed (81% response rate). The respondents had an average age of 35 years and 90.1% were female. Knowledge of hypertension epidemiology was low (13.5% of questions answered correctly); 31% of clinical practice questions had correct answers and confidence in performing specific tasks to improve hypertension control had 63.2% "desirable/correct" answers. Primary care doctors mostly had a positive attitude toward hypertension management (76.5% desirable/correct answers) and highly prioritized hypertension management activities (85.7% desirable/correct answers). Some important highlights included the majority (> 80%) overestimating hypertension awareness, treatment, and control rates; 78.2% used aneroid blood pressure manometers; 15% systematically screened adults for hypertension in their clinics; 21.8% reported 2 or more drugs were required to control hypertension in most people; and 16.1% reported most people could be controlled by lifestyle changes alone. 55% of respondents were not comfortable prescribing more than 1 or 2 antihypertensive drugs in a patient and the percentage of desirable/correct responses to treating various high-risk patients was low. Most (53%-74%) supported task shifting to nonphysician health care providers except for drug prescribing, which only 13.9% supported. A hypertension clinical education program is currently being designed based on the specific needs identified in the survey.

    Increased blood pressure is a leading risk for death globally, and interventions to enhance hypertension control have become a high priority. An important aspect of clinical interventions is understanding the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of differing primary healthcare practitioners. We examined KAP surveys from 803 primary care practitioners in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia (response rate 80%), using a comprehensive KAP survey developed by the World Hypertension League (WHL). The WHL KAP survey uniquely includes an assessment of key World Health Organization recommended interventions to enhance hypertension control. There were few substantive differences between healthcare professional disciplines. Primary care practitioners mostly had a positive attitude toward hypertension management. However, confidence and practice in performing specific tasks to control hypertension were suboptimal. A low proportion indicated they systematically screened adults for hypertension and many were not aware of the need to or were confident in prescribing more than two antihypertensive medications. It was the practice of a high proportion of doctors to not pharmacologically treat most people with hypertension who were at high cardiovascular risk. There was a reluctance by physicians to task share hypertension diagnosis, drug prescribing and assessing cardiovascular risk to nurses. The minority of health care professions use a hypertension management algorithm, and few have patient registries with performance reporting functions. There were few substantive differences based on the age, gender, and years of clinical practice of the practitioners. The study findings support the need for standardized education and training of primary care practitioners in Ulaanbaatar to enhance hypertension control.
