Key result
Modified TEI index was significantly higher in hypertensive patients with increased LVMI (0.68) and normal LVMI (0.51) compared to normotensive controls (0.33; P<0.0001).
Why the study?
Does the modified TEI index detect early global ventricular dysfunction in patients with essential hypertension compared to normotensive controls?

May support modified TEI index for detecting preclinical dysfunction in hypertension; hypothesis-generating for prognostic validation.

Does the modified TEI index detect early global ventricular dysfunction in patients with essential hypertension compared to normotensive controls?
p-value: p=< 0.0001
The modified TEI index is a sensitive echocardiographic parameter that detects global ventricular dysfunction in hypertensive patients even before the development of left ventricular hypertrophy.
Keser et al. (2005) conducted a cross-sectional in Essential Hypertension (n=68). Mild/moderate hypertension vs. Normal blood pressure was evaluated on Modified TEI index (p=< 0.0001). Modified TEI index was significantly higher in hypertensive patients with increased LVMI (0.68) and normal LVMI (0.51) compared to normotensive controls (0.33; P<0.0001).
