Association of the plasma aldosterone concentration, left atrial deformation and ambulatory blood pressure in never-treated early hypertensive patients

Left atrial (LA) strain is known to exhibit an early progressive reduction in hypertensive patients with diastolic dysfunction. However, an association of the renin-angiotensin-*aldosterone system (RAAS) with LA deformation has not been found in these patients. We aimed to investigate the associatio...
