Impact of Chamber Dilatation on the Prognostic Value of Left Ventricular Geometry in Hypertension

Impact of Chamber Dilatation on the Prognostic Value of Left Ventricular Geometry in Hypertension

BackgroundThe different geometric patterns of the left ventricle may or may not coexist with chamber dilatation. The prognostic impact of such a combination is unclear. Methods and ResultsWe studied a cohort of 2635 initially untreated patients with hypertension, mean age 50 years. At entry, 24‐hour...
