No difference in reflectivity with mild hypertension; hypothesis-generating for integrated backscatter in LVH.
Does mild to moderate essential hypertension alter quantitatively evaluated myocardial reflectivity compared to normotensive controls?
Mild to moderate essential hypertension does not significantly alter ultrasonic myocardial reflectivity, even in the presence of left ventricular hypertrophy.
Gigli et al. (1993) studied this question.
