Relation of Left Ventricular Diastolic Properties to Systolic Function in Arterial Hypertension
2000
Circulation
Background-It is unclear whether impairment of left ventricular (LV) diastolic characteristics is independent of systolic dysfunction. Methods and Results-To address this issue, 159 consecutive hypertensive patients (44Ϯ11 years, 78 obese, 96 women) and 165 normotensive subjects (32Ϯ11 years, 84 obese, 110 women) were studied with the use of Doppler echocardiography. After adjustment for age, body mass index (BMI), and sex, we found that ejection fraction (EF; M-mode, z-derived) was higher in
