Left ventricular dysfunction measured by tissue Doppler imaging and strain rate imaging in hypertensive adolescents
Purpose : Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and impaired diastolic function may occur early in systemic hypertension. Diastolic dysfunction is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI)-derived tissue velocity and strain rate are new parameters for assessing diastoli...
