Why the study?
Hypertension causes nonischemic heart failure, making early identification of subclinical left ventricular dysfunction important to reduce progression risk, prompting evaluation of the correlation between left ventricular function indices and aortic stiffness.
Is hypertension associated with altered left ventricular function and aortic stiffness in patients with nonsignificant coronary artery disease?
Is hypertension associated with altered left ventricular function and aortic stiffness in patients with nonsignificant coronary artery disease?
Hypertension is associated with increased arterial stiffness and subclinical diastolic dysfunction in patients without significant coronary artery disease.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May signal early hypertensive effects on aorta and LV in nonsignificant CAD; leaves open prognostic value and intervention targets.
