Left ventricular hypertrophy. Relation of structure to diastolic function in hypertension.

چکیده
Digitised M mode echocardiography was used to determine the relation between the degree of left ventricular hypertrophy and abnormalities of isovolumic relaxation and diastolic function. Fifty six patients with varying severity of non-malignant systemic hypertension without evidence of ischaemic heart disease, left ventricular dilation, or clinical heart failure were studied. In addition, 10 athletes with hypertrophy and 20 normal subjects were studied. Athletes and patients with moderate (systolic blood pressure 175 to 200 mm Hg) and severe hypertension (greater than 200 mm Hg) had a significant increase in left ventricular mass. Cavity dimensions were normal in hypertensive patients and increased in athletes. Systolic function was normal in all groups. Regardless of the degree of hypertrophy patients with hypertension had a prolonged isovolumic relaxation period and delayed mitral valve opening. Patients with hypertrophy also had a reduced rate and prolonged duration of rapid early diastolic dimension increase and posterior wall thinning. Athletes, however, who had an equivalent degree of hypertrophy to patients with moderate or severe hypertension had entirely normal function. Measurements of diastolic function were significantly correlated with wall thickness and left ventricular mass. These indices of hypertrophy, particularly posterior wall thickness and the sum of posterior wall and septal thickness, were positively correlated with the duration of isovolumic relaxation and delay in mitral opening and negatively with the peak rate of early diastolic dimension increase and wall thinning. Thus in hypertensive patients with non-dilated left ventricular hypertrophy there appears to be a relation between the degree of wall thickening and abnormalities of diastolic function.

متن کاملLeft Ventricular Diastolic Function in Hypertension: Methodological Considerations and Clinical Implications
The assessment of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function should be an integral part of a routine examination of hypertensive patient; indeed when LV diastolic function is impaired, it is possible to have heart failure even with preserved LV ejection fraction. Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) occurs frequently and is associated to heart disease. Doppler echocardiography is the bes...

Abstract Background: Diastolic heart failure comprises 50 percent of cases of heart failure. The implications of increased levels of cardiac troponin I (CTnI) on congestive heart failure with preserved systolic function (AHF PEF) have been poorly evaluated. We hypothesized that its level might be elevated in AHF PEF so this evaluation was done in patients referred to Taleghani hospital with ...

To elucidate left ventricular (LV) cardiac structure and function in patients with mild to moderate essential hypertension, we studied the relationship between LV geometry and function. We evaluated LV diastolic and systolic functions by M-mode echocardiography in 91 age-matched normotensive control subjects (NT) and 124 patients with essential hypertension. Hypertensive patients were divided i...

The effects of antihypertensive treatment on regression of left ventricular hypertrophy and on left ventricular systolic and diastolic function were investigated echocardiographically in 13 untreated patients with mild hypertension (group I) and 16 untreated patients with moderate to severe hypertension (group II). The left ventricular mass index, left ventricular wall thickness, end-systolic l...
