Does tissue Doppler E/e' ratio predict cardiac events in hypertensive patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction?
Tissue Doppler E/e' ratio provides independent and incremental prognostic value for predicting cardiac events in hypertensive patients with preserved ejection fraction.
E/e', a non-invasive estimate of left ventricular filling pressure, predicts cardiac events in hypertensive population with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction, independent of and incremental to clinical and left ventricular geometric patterns. E/e' represents an early, effective tool for cardiovascular risk stratification in hypertension population.
