Abstract:
Objective To study the relationship between arterial compliance and diastolic dysfunction in essential hypertensive patients.Methods Fifty-one treated hypertensive patients and 47 normotensive controls were enrolled.Arterial stiffness was assessed by vascular e-TRACKING technology of ultrosonic.Tissue Doppler echocardiography combined with conventional Doppler echocardiography was used for assessment of left ventricular diastolic function and peak late diastolic velocity of mitral flow.The ratio of E/A,Em/Am and E/Em were measured.Results Compared with normotensive controls,hypertensive patients have increased arterial sclerosis index(?) [(10.5?3.8) vs control(8.1?3.4),P
