Key result
Hypertensive patients with normal ejection fraction exhibited significantly lower resting E' compared to healthy controls (8.2 vs 14.7; P<0.001) during echocardiographic evaluation.
Why the study?
Does dobutamine stress echocardiography reveal differences in diastolic function between hypertensive patients with normal ejection fraction and healthy controls?
Case-Control (n=60)
Does dobutamine stress echocardiography reveal differences in diastolic function between hypertensive patients with normal ejection fraction and healthy controls?
Absolute Event Rate: 8.2% vs 14.7%
p-value: p=<0.001
Hypertensive patients with normal ejection fraction exhibit impaired diastolic function at rest compared to healthy controls, as evidenced by lower E' and higher E/E' ratios.
Supports early diastolic impairment detection in hypertensive patients with preserved EF; leaves open incremental value of dobutamine stress echocardiography.

Hosseini et al. (2017) conducted a case-control in Hypertension with normal ejection fraction (n=60). Dobutamine stress echocardiography vs. Healthy controls was evaluated on Resting primary diastolic myocardial wave rate (E') (p=<0.001). Hypertensive patients with normal ejection fraction exhibited significantly lower resting E' compared to healthy controls (8.2 vs 14.7; P<0.001) during echocardiographic evaluation.
