Sensitive marker for evaluation of hypertensive heart disease: extracellular volume and myocardial strain

Abstract Background Evaluation of tissue fibrosis and myocardial hypertrophy in left ventricular (LV) remodeling is the basis of post-treatment evaluation of hypertensive heart disease (HHD). Extracellular volume (ECV) and myocardial strain parameters can indirectly reflect the changes of both. Our...
