Nocturnal hypertension and right heart remodeling

摘要: Background We sought to investigate right ventricular (RV) and atrial mechanics in patients with daytime, night-time daytime-night-time hypertension. Methods This cross-sectional study included 256 untreated who underwent 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring complete echocardiographic examination including strain analysis. Night-time hypertension was defined as nocturnal SBP at least 120 mmHg and/or DBP 70 daytime 135 85 mmHg. Results RV structure, diastolic function global longitudinal are intermediate between On the other side, systolic rates referring free wall significantly deteriorated comparison normotension Right conduit is reduced day-night-time comparing two groups, whereas reservoir pump functions A independently of clinical parameters associated strain. Conclusion worse hypertensive than normotensive controls isolated patients. heart mechanics.
