Abstract
seen in hypertensive patients, and it is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Hence, the detection of LVDD with a simple, inexpensive, and easy‐to‐obtain method can contribute to improving patient prognosis. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate whether there was any association between the electrocardiographic P wave peak time (PWPT) and non‐invasively measured left ventricular end‐diastolic pressure (LVEDP) in hypertensive patients. A total of 127 patients were included in this cross‐sectional study. The PWPT was defined as the time from the beginning of the P wave to its peak, and it was calculated from the leads II and VI. In all patients, LVEDP was measured in steady state. The PWPT in lead II was significantly longer in patients with high LVEDP. In multivariable analysis, PWPT in lead II was found to be independent predictor of increased LVEDP
