Key result
Strain echocardiography detects subclinical myocardial dysfunction for early identification of hypertensive heart disease.
Why the study?
Conventional echocardiography cannot detect subtle changes in cardiac structure in subclinical hypertensive heart disease, whereas strain echocardiography can detect subclinical myocardial dysfunction by measuring intrinsic myocardial deformation.

May support strain echocardiography for early hypertensive heart disease detection; leaves open impact on outcomes or practice.
Does strain echocardiography improve the detection of subclinical myocardial dysfunction in patients with hypertension?
Strain echocardiography is a valuable imaging modality for detecting early, subclinical cardiac structural and functional changes in patients with hypertension.
Oh et al. (2022) conducted a review in Hypertension. Strain echocardiography was evaluated. Strain echocardiography detects subclinical myocardial dysfunction by measuring intrinsic myocardial deformation, providing clinical utility in the early detection of hypertensive heart disease.
