Implication

Reduced coronary flow may contribute to LV dysfunction in hypertension; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective confirmation before practice change.

Structured PICO

Population

62 patients with essential hypertension (mean age, 54 +/- 13 years) and 22 normotensive control subjects (mean age, 57 +/- 13 years).

Comparator

Normotensive control subjects

Outcome

Midwall fractional shortening (FS) and isovolumic relaxation time (IRT)surrogate

Decreased unit coronary blood flow is strongly associated with both systolic and diastolic left ventricular dysfunction in patients with essential hypertension.
