Why the study?
LV remodelling is not specific to hypertensive heart disease, requiring advanced imaging to differentiate other causes of hypertrophy, detect subclinical disease, and guide treatment.
Does advanced multimodality imaging improve the detection and phenotyping of hypertensive heart disease?

May identify subclinical LV impairment missed by standard echocardiography; leaves open effects on risk stratification and outcomes.
Does advanced multimodality imaging improve the detection and phenotyping of hypertensive heart disease?
Advanced multimodality imaging improves the detection of subclinical hypertensive heart disease and helps differentiate it from other causes of left ventricular hypertrophy.
Tadić et al. (2022) studied this question.
