Özet
Objectives Left ventricular (LV) systolic synchrony, defined as simultaneous peak contractions of corresponding cardiac segments, is well documented to be impaired in hypertension but its effect on LV function is not clear. The aim of this study was to assess the impacts of LV systolic dyssynchrony on LV function in newly diagnosed hypertensives. Methods Forty‐eight newly diagnosed hypertensive patients and 33 controls were enrolled. All study population underwent a comprehensive echocardiographic evaluation including tissue synchrony imaging. The time to regional peak systolic tissue velocity (Ts) in LV by 12 segmental models was measured and two parameters of systolic dyssynchrony were computed. Results Baseline demographic characteristics were similar in both study groups. Dyssynchrony parameters prolonged in newly diagnosed hypertensive patients compared to controls: the standard deviation …
