Abstract
BACKGROUND: Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is associated with intra-ventricular dyssynchrony at systolic phase during exercise in hypertensive patients. However, dypsnea on exertion is much more correlated with diastolic phase. We investigated whether LVH is associated with diastolic dyssynchrony during exercise in patients with hypertension.
