Correlation Between Left Atrial Indices and Left Ventricular Diastolic Function Among Hypertensive Patients

Purpose: To compare LA indices and cardiac among hypertensive with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction
 Methodology: It is an echocardiographic based descriptive cross-sectional study. A total of 200 patients were recruited from the cardiology clinics using systematic sampling method.
 Results: The mean age study population was 58.7 ±13.96 (58.42±13.29 for Hypertensives) years while median 59years.The female to male ratio 1:6. Majority cases had isolated dysfunction n=149 (74.5%), thirty-six (18%) normal systolic functions 7.5% combined (n=15). Left atrial maximum volume correlated significantly E/E Prime (P= 0.003) E/A Ratio 0.003). While pre-A wave (P=0.025), diameter did not correlate IVRT, E/E’, ratio.
 Unique Contribution Theory, Policy Practice: Among E/E’ positively all phasic volumes compared ratio. LV mass independently predicted volumes.
