Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of the left ventricular geometry on left atrial structure and function in essential hypertension (EH).Methods One hundred and thirty-eight patients with EH and 86 normal controls were studied with echocardiography.According to left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and relative wall thickness (RWT),a total of 138 patients with EH were divided into normal geometry group (58 cases),concentric remodeling group (22 cases),concentric hypertrophy group (21 cases) and eccentric hypertrophy group (37 cases).Correlation between left atrial diameter index (LADI),left atrial ejection force (LAEF) and all parameters was respectively obtained using linear regression analysis,and the stepwise regression analysis was used to assess the independent effect of each parameter.Results Compared with control group,LADI and LAEF were higher ( P
