Background Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a risk factor for cardiac and vascular events in hypertensive patients (pts). The aim of the study was to evaluate the associaton of echocardiographic indices of LV geometry with the extent of coronary artery disease (CAD) in hypertensive patients catheterized on the basis of symptoms of angina. Methods Study group included 197 pts, age 53 ± 9 years, 65 women, without significant valvular disease and history of myocardial infarction. LV diastolic diameter (LVD), intraventricular septum (IVS) and posterior wall (PW) thickness were evaluated with M-mode echocardiography. Coronary artery disease extent was assessed with Gensini score (GS). Results In univariate analysis age was not correl...
