BACKGROUND Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction (DD) associated with a preserved ejection fraction (EF) is a frequent alteration in hypertensive patients, usually considered an impairment of the diastolic phase alone. However, because systole and diastole are strictly correlated to one another, it is possible that hypertensive patients with isolated DID may also present with initial abnormalities of LV systolic properties, particularly those presenting with a more severe degree of DID. We performed a multiparametric echocardiographic assessment of LV systolic properties in patients without cardiovascular diseases, with preserved EF and different degrees of DID. METHODS We evaluated 1,073 hypertensive subjects showing EF >55% and no o...
