Why the study?
Does hypertension with or without diastolic dysfunction reduce mitral annular systolic velocity compared to healthy controls?
Does hypertension with or without diastolic dysfunction reduce mitral annular systolic velocity compared to healthy controls?
Mitral annular systolic velocity measured by tissue Doppler imaging can detect early preclinical systolic dysfunction in hypertensive patients, which is further exacerbated by diastolic dysfunction.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May enable earlier systolic impairment detection in hypertension; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
Daskalov et al. (2012) studied this question.
