Different role of wave reflection magnitude and timing on left ventricular mass reduction during antihypertensive treatment

OBJECTIVERegression of left ventricular (LV) mass during antihypertensive treatment has been associated with reduction in aortic augmentation index, a composite measure of peripheral wave reflection. The aim of this study was to clarify which of the two reflection factors, that is magnitude or timin...
