Why the study?
Does hypertension alter mitral annulus velocity measured by Doppler tissue imaging compared to normotensive controls?
Does hypertension alter mitral annulus velocity measured by Doppler tissue imaging compared to normotensive controls?
Mitral annulus velocity measured by Doppler tissue imaging can detect early changes in left ventricular diastolic function in patients with hypertension, even in those with normal left ventricular mass index.
Supports tissue Doppler for early diastolic assessment in hypertension; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
