Background: It has been shown that abnormal diastolic left ventricular (LV) function assessed by pulsed Doppler of mitral inflow velocities can be early markers of cardiac involvement in hypertensives. Whether this finding is related to LV hypertrophy (LVH), and if so, to a specific geometric pattern of LVH is currently unknown.Methods: Echocardiograms were obtained recording 2-D, M-mode and pulsed...
Background: It has been postulated that patients with hypertensive hypertrophic cardiomypathy have isolated diastolic dysfunction and normal systolic LV function. Furthermore it has been shown that LV midwall mechanics maybe impaired in hypertensive patients with normal or supranormal LVEF, however whether impaired LV relaxation is related to depressed systolic contractility and midwall shortening...
