Association of Blood Pressure Control Level With Left Ventricular Morphology and Function and With Subclinical Cerebrovascular Disease

Association of Blood Pressure Control Level With Left Ventricular Morphology and Function and With Subclinical Cerebrovascular Disease

BackgroundLeft ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and subclinical cerebrovascular disease are early manifestations of cardiac and brain target organ damage caused by hypertension. This study aimed to investigate whether intensive office systolic blood pressure (SBP) control has beneficial effects on LV mo...
