Individual data of the E/A ratio as measurement of the left ventricle diastolic dysfunction (LVDD).

<p>No significant differences were found in the E/A ratio between systemic hypertension and non-systemic hypertension patients (A). Although patients over 65 years had a significantly lower E/A ratio, younger patients also had a mean E/A ratio in the range of LVDD (B). Horizontal bars represent median values and box areas represent interquartile ranges. E/A ratio = ratio of early (E) to late (A) transmitral filling velocities.
