May support LV assessment in hypertensive CAD; leaves open causal links and clinical utility pending prospective data.
Is the extent and complexity of coronary artery disease (SYNTAX score) associated with different left ventricular geometric patterns in hypertensive patients?
In hypertensive patients with coronary artery disease, the extent and complexity of coronary disease (SYNTAX score) is independently associated with left ventricular geometric patterns, particularly concentric hypertrophy.
Uçar et al. (2014) studied this question.
