Left ventricular diastolic function parameters in hypertensives.
Adewole A Adebiyi,Akinyemi Aje,Okechukwu S Ogah,Dike B. Ojji,Olulola O Oladapo,Ayodele O. Falase +5 more
TL;DR: Nigerian hypertensives have significantly different diastolic function indices when compared with normal controls, and the major determinant of left ventricular diastolics function parameters were age and the duration of hypertension.

Adedeji K Adebayo,Olulola O Oladapo,Adewole A Adebiyi,Olayinka O Ogunleye,Okechukwu S Ogah,Dike B. Ojji,Akinyemi Aje,Moshood A Adeoye,Kenneth C Ochulor,Evbu O Enakpene,Ayodele O. Falase +10 more
TL;DR: Changes in the geometry of the left ventricle occur early in hypertension and precede deterioration in left ventricular systolic function, and the corresponding left atrial changes are marginal and are indicative of increasedleft atrial length and accentuated atrial syStolic function.
