In arterial hypertension, the spectrum of geometric patterns in the left ventricle may parallel the structural alterations detected in the carotid arteries and in subcutaneous small arteries. It has been also reported that hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) may be associated with endothelial dysfunction, as evaluated by the response of coronary or forearm vasculature to acetylcholine infusion. The aim of this study was to evaluate the flow-mediated vasodilatation (FMD) of the brachial artery, non-invasive estimate of endothelium-dependent vasodilatation according to left ventricular geometric adaptations in hypertensive patients.
