Cardiac Time Intervals Measured by Tissue Doppler Imaging M‐mode: Association With Hypertension, Left Ventricular Geometry, and Future Ischemic Cardiovascular Diseases

Cardiac Time Intervals Measured by Tissue Doppler Imaging M‐mode: Association With Hypertension, Left Ventricular Geometry, and Future Ischemic Cardiovascular Diseases

BackgroundWe hypothesized that the cardiac time intervals reveal reduced myocardial function in persons with hypertension and are strong predictors of future ischemic cardiovascular diseases in the general population. Methods and ResultsIn a large community‐based population study, cardiac function w...
