Parathyroid hormone is associated with the LV mass after aortic valve replacement
Bibliographic record
Abstract
AIMS: LV hypertrophy (LVH) is frequent after aortic valve replacement (AVR) and is often associated with comorbidities, including hypertension, obesity, renal failure and prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM). However, whether other biological mechanism(s) may participate to LVH after AVR is still unknown. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) may play a role in LVH. However, it is presently unknown whether PTH is associated with LVH in patients that have undergone an AVR. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, 195 patients have been investigated at a mean of 8 ± 3.5 years following AVR. LV function and mass were evaluated by Doppler echocardiography. The plasma levels of PTH, 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD), calcium and phosphate were measured. RESULTS: There were 102 (52%) patients with LVH after AVR. In univariate analyses, PTH blood level was associated with LV mass (LVMi) and LVH. After adjustment for other risk factors, elevated PTH remained associated with LVMi (p=0.003) and LVH (p=0.02). In turn, the blood levels of 25-OHD and the renal function (GFR) were independently and inversely related to the blood level of PTH. CONCLUSIONS: After AVR, the level of PTH is independently associated with LVH. In turn, the level of PTH is related with the renal function and the level of 25-OHD.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
