Key result
Hypertensives with concentric left ventricular hypertrophy had significantly higher aortic pulse pressure compared to those with normal LV mass (107 vs 68 mmHg, P<0.001).
Why the study?
Is increased aortic pulse pressure associated with concentric left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with arterial hypertension?

Greater aortic pulse pressure was associated with concentric LVH in hypertensives; leaves open its role in identifying high-risk phenotypes.
Observational (n=42)
Is increased aortic pulse pressure associated with concentric left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with arterial hypertension?
Absolute Event Rate: 107% vs 68%
p-value: p=<0.001
An aortic pulse pressure greater than 85 mmHg is strongly associated with concentric left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertensive patients and may help identify this high-risk phenotype.
D. S. Chemla (2002) conducted an observational in Arterial hypertension (n=42). Concentric left ventricular hypertrophy vs. Normal left ventricular mass was evaluated on Aortic pulse pressure (p=<0.001). Hypertensives with concentric left ventricular hypertrophy had significantly higher aortic pulse pressure compared to those with normal LV mass (107 vs 68 mmHg, P<0.001).
