Key result
This review evaluates conventional and newer echocardiographic modalities, such as tissue Doppler and speckle tracking, for quantifying left ventricular systolic function and mass in hypertension.

This review summarizes the use of conventional and advanced echocardiographic techniques for assessing left ventricular systolic function and mass in patients with primary hypertension.
Hypertension is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. The accurate evaluation of cardiovascular risk is of paramount importance in the management of hypertensive patients. Conventional echocardiographic methods have provided the assessment of left ventricular systolic function and mass for many years. Tissue Doppler imaging, 3-dimensional echocardiography, and speckle tracking echocardiography are newer echocardiographic modalities for the left ventricular systolic function and mass quantification. The major emphasis of this review is to evaluate the left ventricular systolic function and mass by conventional and newly developed echocardiographic in hypertensive patients.
