Abstract:Background Left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic functions are
important cardiovascular risk predictors in patients with hypertension.
However, data on segmental, layer-specific strain, and diastolic strain
rates in these patients are limited. The aim of this study was to
investigate segmental two-dimensional strain rate imaging (SRI)-derived
parameters to characterize LV systolic and diastolic function in
hypertensive individuals compared with that in normotensive individuals.
