Description
Background
Early detection of risk factors for left ventricular (LV) dysfunction may be useful in patients with high blood pressure (HBP).
Methods
Patient from an outpatient HBP clinic underwent a two-dimensional Doppler-coupled echocardiography with determination of LV global longitudinal strain (GLS) by speckle-tracking.
Results
Among 200 patients (mean age 61.7 ± 9.7 years), 155 were overweight, 93 had diabetes, 83 had dyslipidemia, and 109 had uncontrolled HBP. LV hypertrophy (LVH) was found in 136 patients (68%), including concentric (n = 106) and eccentric (n = 30) LVH. Diastolic dysfunction patterns were observed in 178 patients (89%), and increased filling pressures were observed in 37 patients (18.5%). GLS ranged from –25% to –11.6% (mean –16.9 ± 3.2%). Low GLS values (>–17%) were found in 91 patients (45.5%), 68 with …
