We evaluated the effect of captopril treatment on left ventricular mass (LVM) and function in sustained mild-to-moderate primary hypertension. In 16 men aged 34.5 +/- 6.4 yrs. M-mode echo and pulsed wave Doppler recordings were obtained prior to and after 2 months captopril treatment (50-150 mg daily). No significant changes in heart rate, systolic blood pressure, ejection fraction, fractional shortening, cardiac output, LVM and Doppler-derived indices of mitral inflow were observed. Diastolic blood pressure measured during examination fell from 102.2 +/- 13.3 to 90.3 +/- 9 mmHg (p less than 0.026). No consistent correlations between catecholamines and indexes of left ventricular function were found. Two-month captopril therapy in mild-to-moderate hypertension results in diastolic blood pressure lowering with no effect on LVM or left ventricular function.
