Why the study?
Is carotid arterial stiffness associated with left ventricular concentric hypertrophy in patients with hypertension?
Is carotid arterial stiffness associated with left ventricular concentric hypertrophy in patients with hypertension?
Carotid arterial stiffness and wave reflection parameters are independently associated with left ventricular concentric hypertrophy in hypertensive patients.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Supports carotid stiffness assessment in hypertensive concentric hypertrophy; leaves open causality and prospective validation.
Concentric hypertrophy in hypertension is strongly associated with carotid arterial stiffness and wave reflection parameters, independently of the influence of systolic blood pressure and diabetes.
