Increased aortic wave reflection and longitudinal regional diastolic dysfunction in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy
Objectives: Increased arterial stiffness is associated with the progression of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH); however, the endocardial layer (End) contracts more than the epicardial layer (Epi), and it is unclear whether increased arterial stiffness affects regional wall deformation in both the...
