Compared with controls, hypertensive patients have impaired LV GLS at rest and impaired CR despite normal LVEF. Impaired CR correlated with LV wall thickness but independent of prevailing blood pressure.
Compared to controls, hypertensive patients had impaired LA strain, which correlated with LV GLS and CR. LV GLS and LAVImax were the strongest independent determinants for LA Ɛs/Ɛe and LA Ɛa, respectively, independent of BP and LVMi.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
