  • Title: [Significance of the duration of arterial hypertension and the age of the patient in shaping the structure and function of the left ventricle].
    Author: Karnolski IN, Zhelev VS.
    Journal: Ter Arkh; 1990; 62(4):78-81. PubMed ID: 2144060.
    Abstract:
    Echography was used to study 28 parameters reflecting the structure and function of the left ventricle in 148 patients suffering from stages I and II arterial hypertension. A close correlation was established between arterial hypertension standing and the thickness of the interventricular septum in the systole and diastole (r = 0.71) and the thickness of the posterior wall of the left ventricle in the systole (r = 0.80). The correlation is significant for the muscular mass of the left ventricle, index of the muscular mass of the left ventricle and the telediastolic size of the free wall of the left ventricle. Arterial hypertension standing is not in a good agreement with the size and volumes of the left ventricle. As poorly controlled and noncontrolled hypertension persists the concentric type hypertrophy of the left ventricle progresses without any material alterations in regional contractile function.
