The relationship between nighttime hypertension and left atrial function

摘要: The authors sought to investigate the association between different hypertensive phenotypes and left atrial (LA) function assessed by volumetric method strain in patients with untreated hypertension. This cross-sectional study involved 236 who underwent 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring two-dimensional echocardiographic examination. Our findings showed that LA gradually deteriorated from normotension, across daytime hypertension, night- day-nighttime reservoir conduit functions were particularly nighttime hypertension compared normotension whereas pump was compensatorily increased only participants Only independently associated reduced function. difference found but not
