Hypertensive LVH was associated with reduced coronary reserve unlike nonhypertensive forms; hypothesis-generating for differential microvascular effects and needs longitudinal confirmation.
Does hypertensive heart disease reduce coronary reserve compared to nonhypertensive hypertrophy and normal controls?
Hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy is associated with a specific reduction in coronary reserve that is not seen in nonhypertensive hypertrophy of comparable degree.
Strauer et al. (1985) studied this question.
