Abstract:
Diastolic transmitral blood flow was measured by Doppler echocardiography in 66 patients with hypertension and 33 normal persons. The results showed that isovolumic ventricular relaxation time and peak. A velocity increased and E/A ratio decreased significantly in hypertensive patients without left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy. Patients with LV hypertrophy had not only significant change of these parameters, but also significant decrease of peak E velocity and deceleration of E velocity. Left atria was larger in hypertensive patients, especially in those with LV hypertrophy. It is suggested that LV diastolic dysfunction in patients with hypertension may occur before the development of LV hypertrophy, and LV hypertrophy may worsen the diastolic dysfunction.
