Analysis of Left Ventricular Systolic Function Using Midwall Mechanics in Patients >60 Years of Age With Hypertensive Heart Disease and Heart Failure

Normal ejection fraction (EFs) is often equated with normal systolic function. However, midwall mechanics reveal systolic dysfunction in hypertensive heart disease accompanied by hypertrophic remodeling. Midwall mechanics are unstudied in patients with acute diastolic heart failure (HF). This study...
