Asymptomatic left ventricular systolic dysfunction in essential hypertension: prevalence, determinants, and prognostic value.
Prevalence, determinants, and prognostic value of asymptomatic left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) in uncomplicated subjects with essential hypertension are still incompletely known. We studied 2384 initially untreated subjects with hypertension, no previous cardiovascular disease, and no symptoms or physical signs of congestive heart failure (CHF). These subjects were studied at entry...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction in Asymptomatic Black Hypertensive Subjects.
BACKGROUND Hypertension has been established as one of the commonest causes of heart failure especially in sub-Saharan Africa. We have previously observed a high prevalence of left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction in hypertensive heart failure patients in Nigeria despite a low prevalence of ischemic heart disease. The present study was, therefore, undertaken to assess the prevalence of asy...
متن کاملPrognostic significance of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in essential hypertension.
OBJECTIVES We sought to assess the prognostic value of alterations in left ventricular (LV) diastolic function in patients with essential hypertension. BACKGROUND Alterations in LV diastolic function are frequent in patients with hypertension, even in the absence of LV hypertrophy, but their prognostic significance has never been investigated. METHODS In the setting of the Progetto Ipertens...
متن کاملInfluence of hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy, and left ventricular systolic dysfunction on plasma N terminal proBNP.
OBJECTIVES To examine the relation between plasma concentration of the N terminal of the precursor of brain natriuretic peptide (NT proBNP), left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), and left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) in patients with a history of hypertension. DESIGN Prospective study. SETTING Teaching hospital based study. PATIENTS NT proBNP concentrations were determined in fiv...
