Is heavy aortic calcification associated with arterial stiffening, left ventricular hypertrophy, and diastolic dysfunction in elderly male patients with hypertension?
Heavy aortic calcification is associated with arterial stiffening, left ventricular hypertrophy, and diastolic dysfunction in elderly hypertensive men.
Heavy aortic calcification and resultant arterial stiffening might underlie left ventricular hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction in elderly male patients with hypertension.
Cho et al. (2015) studied this question.
