Key result

Echocardiography provides important information on structural and functional adaptive changes in hypertensive heart disease, though technical limitations preclude its use in all patients.

Implication

Echocardiography informs hypertensive heart disease assessment in suitable patients; leaves open optimal imaging for epidemiological studies due to technical limits.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Patients with hypertension and coexisting clinical conditions (e.g., obesity, coronary heart disease, mitral valve prolapse)
E
Exposure
Echocardiography

Echocardiography is a useful tool for assessing structural changes in hypertensive heart disease, but its epidemiological use is limited by technical constraints in some patients.

Limitations

  • Technical problems preclude echocardiographic evaluation in all patients with hypertension, requiring care in making epidemiologic generalizations.
  • Technical problems preclude echocardiographic evaluation in all patients with hypertension

Cite This Study

Edward D. Fröhlich (1987) conducted a review in Hypertension. Echocardiography was evaluated. Echocardiography provides important information on structural and functional adaptive changes in hypertensive heart disease, though technical limitations preclude its use in all patients.
