Should not change practice; extends cross-sectional links between LV geometry and hemodynamics but leaves causal and prognostic implications open.
How do systemic hemodynamics relate to left ventricular geometric patterns in patients with moderate hypertension and LV hypertrophy?
In patients with moderate hypertension and LV hypertrophy, different left ventricular geometric phenotypes are associated with distinct systemic hemodynamic patterns, such as variations in stroke volume and arterial stiffness.
Bella et al. (2001) studied this question.
