Evaluation of left ventricular performance in hypertensive patients by speckle tracking echocardiography: Correlation with brain natriuretic peptide

Evaluation of left ventricular performance in hypertensive patients by speckle tracking echocardiography: Correlation with brain natriuretic peptide

Background: Hypertension results in hemodynamic changes ranging from maladaptive left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) to heart failure. Two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) allows rapid and accurate analysis of regional and global left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic func...
