Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction in Asymptomatic Black Hypertensive Subjects.
BACKGROUND Hypertension has been established as one of the commonest causes of heart failure especially in sub-Saharan Africa. We have previously observed a high prevalence of left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction in hypertensive heart failure patients in Nigeria despite a low prevalence of ischemic heart disease. The present study was, therefore, undertaken to assess the prevalence of asy...
متن کاملPrevalence of asymptomatic left ventricular systolic dysfunction in hypertensive Nigerians: echocardiographic study of 832 subjects

BACKGROUND Patients with RD are at increased risk of ischemic heart disease. However, there are few large echocardiographic s...
متن کاملPrognostic value of exercise-induced left ventricular systolic dysfunction in hypertensive patients without coronary artery disease.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES We sought to assess the prognostic value of exercise-induced left ventricular systolic dysfunction in hypertensive patients with normal resting echocardiography and absence of coronary artery disease. METHODS From our database of patients referred for treadmill exercise echocardiography, we identified 93 hypertensive patients with preserved resting left ventricular...
