The interplay between renin-angiotensin system activation, abnormal myocardial deformation and neurohumoral activation in hypertensive heart disease: a speckle tracking echocardiography study

Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) promotes cardiac fibrosis. LV myocardial deformation and torsion are markers of subclinical myocardial dysfunction. We investigated the association of serum ACE levels with LV deformation markers in untreated hypertensives. In 120 untreated patients (age: 53.5 ± 1...
