Abstract :

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES : Assessment of the relation of changes in left ventricular mass with diastolic dysfunction in untreated hypertensives METHODOLOGY: 100 cases of untreated hypertensives included in the study after taking into account all the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Echocardiography was done for all to access the relation of left ventricular mass index and diastolic dysfunction RESULTS : Out of 100 patients, 62 patients have grade 1 diastolic dysfunction with increased left ventricular mass, 26 have grade 2 diastolic dysfunction with increased left ventricular mass, and 12 have grade 3 and 4 diastolic dysfunction. CONCLUSION : The early diastolic filling impaired in hypertensive patients with increased left ventricular mass. The patient having a normal architecture or concentric remodeling have a normal diastolic function. Those with concentric hypertrophy with or without eccentric remodeling will demonstrate diastolic dysfunction
