However, when we combinedboth RH and HTN groups together and assessed the MCP-1 levels according to thepresence or absence of LVH, we found lower MCP-1 levels in patients with LVHcompared with those without LVH (105 pg/mL [100 - 260 pg/mL]versus 136 pg/mL [100 - 200 pg/mL], respectively,p = 0.005) (Figure 2A). Here, CCL2 is linked to hypertensive disorder.
