Alterations in left ventricular filling can occur with aging and in patients with hypertension, ischemic heart disease, congestive and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and congenital heart disease. This study examines the effects of blood pressure on left ventricular diastolic filling indexes measured by Doppler ultrasound technique in 47 young normotensive adolescents (mean age 13 years). Left ventricular filling was assessed by Doppler peak early and late diastolic transmitral flow velocities, early and late diastolic flow velocity integrals and early diastolic deceleration. Systolic blood pressure did not correlate with any of the Doppler filling indexes, although it was related to echocardiographic left ventricular mass (r = 0.44, p less than 0.005). Diastolic blood pressure did not correlate with left ventricular mass; however, it was inversely related to peak early diastolic flow velocity (r = -0.44, p less than 0.005), early diastolic flow velocity integral (r = -0.40, p less than 0.01) and early diastolic deceleration (r = -0.32, p less than 0.05). The ratio of late to early peak filling (A/E) was directly related to diastolic blood pressure (r = 0.48, p less than 0.001). Examination of electrocardiograms showed that there was a stronger correlation between A/E ratio and diastolic blood pressure (r = 0.63) in 22 subjects with bimodal P waves in lead V1 than in subjects with unimodal P waves (r = 0.45).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
