What does this research mean for the field?

Left atrial compliance is impaired in patients with borderline hypertension, preceding left ventricular diastolic impairment which occurs in established hypertension, while left ventricular systolic function remains unaffected in both stages.

Why the study?

Are left ventricular and left atrial functions impaired in patients with borderline and established hypertension compared to normotensive patients?

Population

42 patients including those with normotension, borderline hypertension, and established hypertension

Comparison

Borderline and established hypertension vs Normotension

Design

Cross-sectional

Authors

TNTakashi NatsumeThe University of Tokyo KNKatsuhiko NakajimaToyota Motor Corporation (Switzerland)HSHajime ShibataKurume University

Discussion

Member takes

Implication

Left atrial stiffness may increase early in borderline hypertension; cross-sectional data leave open prospective links to LV diastolic impairment.

Structured PICO

Are left ventricular and left atrial functions impaired in patients with borderline and established hypertension compared to normotensive patients?

Population

42 patients including those with normotension (n=12), borderline hypertension (n=13), and established hypertension (n=17)

Intervention

Borderline and established hypertension

Comparator

Normotension

Outcome

Left ventricular systolic function (7 indexes), left ventricular diastolic properties (7 indexes), and left atrial function (3 indexes) measured via cardiac catheterization and cineangiogramsurrogate

Left atrial compliance is impaired early in borderline hypertension, preceding the left ventricular diastolic impairment observed in established hypertension.
