The purpose of our study was to assess the changes in LV systolic dyssynchrony (SDS(LV)) among hypertensive patients after antihypertensive treatment, and to determine the relationship between SDS(LV) and other conventional echocardiographic parameters.
Subjects And Methods: Forty one hypertensive patients with normal LV ejection fraction were enrolled.
