Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between arterial hypertension (HTN) and markers of left ventricular dysfunction and inflammation in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).
- It compares 30 HCM patients with HTN to 30 without, assessing echocardiographic measures and inflammatory markers.
- Results reveal that while both groups had similar cardiac function, those with HTN showed higher levels of systemic inflammation, suggesting HTN's negative effects on HCM patients stem from overall body inflammation rather than direct heart function decline.
