Implication

LV strain declines with abnormal geometry in hypertension; leaves open prognostic value and need for longitudinal confirmation.

Structured PICO

How do different left ventricular geometric patterns affect left ventricular deformation and mechanics in hypertensive patients?

Population

197 hypertensive individuals

Intervention

Classification of left ventricular geometry using updated criteria (left ventricular mass index, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, and relative wall thickness) and assessment with two-dimensional (2DE) and three-dimensional (3DE) echocardiography

Comparator

Comparison across six geometric groups: normal geometry, concentric remodelling, eccentric nondilated left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), concentric LVH, dilated LVH, and concentric-dilated LVH

Outcome

Left ventricular mechanics assessed by multidirectional 2DE and 3DE left ventricular strain, strain rates, twist, and torsionsurrogate

Concentric and dilated left ventricular hypertrophy patterns have the greatest unfavorable effect on 2DE and 3DE left ventricular mechanics in hypertensive patients.
