In systemic hypertension, resting myocardial blood flow is reduced in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy as a consequence of reduced wall stress, while resting left ventricular performance remains preserved.

Reduced resting LV MBF in hypertensive LVH links to lower wall stress with preserved performance; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Nichols et al. (1980) studied this question.
