A short diastolic dysfunction in hypertension treatment
Author(s): Parash Gurram*
Changes in LV diastolic filling characterise Left Ventricular (LV) Diastolic
Dysfunction (LVDD), which is a powerful predictor of cardiovascular events
and heart failure. Hypertension is the most common cause of LVDD in the
general population, and it promotes it through a variety of mechanisms,
including hemodynamic overload and myocardial ischemia. Age, ethnicity,
dietary sodium, obesity, diabetes mellitus, and chronic renal disease are
all factors that contribute to LVDD in hypertensive people. LVDD can be
improved by lowering blood pressure with antihypertensive drugs; however,
it is uncertain if this improvement in LV diastolic function can improve cardio
vasculature. Changes in LV diastolic filling characterise Left Ventricular (LV)
Diastolic Dysfunction (LVDD), which is a powerful predictor of cardiovascular
events and heart failure. H.. View More»
