Abstract High blood pressure is a major risk factor for premature(MacMahon et al., 1990). Hypertrophy in response to increase blood pressure in primary hypertension leads to important functional consequences for the left ventricle (Trimarco et al., 1986). This interest has been focused on the lie properties of the heart to detect early indicators of e left ventricular failure (Inouye et al., 1984).Antihypertensive treatment seems to prevent or minimize occurrence of left ventricular hypertrophy, but questions rise as to whether this therapy is also able to restore normal hemodynamic conditions or at least to minimize the hemodynamic abnormalities (Trimarco et al., 1986). It is important to consider left ventricular mass and .nyocardial performance in the therapeutic care of the .iypertensive patient (Richard, 1988).The aim of the present work is to study the reversibility of Hft ventricular diastolic dysfunction after controlling the iypertension by different groups of antihypertensive drugs. |
