| pubmed-article:8303588 | pubmed:abstractText | The study included 39 hypertensive subjects with clinical echocardiographic evidence of left ventricular hypertrophy. All the patients were subjected to coronary angiography and transvenous multiple-phase left ventriculography. Early subclinical signs of left ventricular dysfunction in hypertensive patients have been defined. They concern energetic efficacy of the cardiac cycle, left ventricular diastolic function, myocardial asynchronism. It is noted that the above dysfunction was recorded in cases where standard two-image analysis provides normal values. | lld:pubmed |
