Abstract
|
|
|
Measurements of mitral flow velocity by pulsed Doppler echocardiography are very useful in evaluating left ventricular diastolic filling properties. In hypertensive patients, abnormalities of diastolic function may precede systolic abnormalities and may serve as a more sensitive marker of end organ damage.
We estimated left ventricular mass by 2-D echo short axis area-length method and compared with peak mitral flow velocity in early diastole(PFVE) and during atrial systole(PFVA).
There was a significant increase of LV mass and LV mass index in the hypertensive patients and PFVEIPFVA ratio was decreased in them.
In the present study there was no significant correlation between systolic, diastolic blood pressure and PFVE/PFVA ratio, but PFVE/PFVA ratio was significantly correlated with LV mass index in the hypertensive patients. The result obtained shows that the mitral flow conditions are influenced by left ventricular mass.
