Selective Cardiac Neuroadrenergic Abnormalities in Hypertensive Patients with Left Ventricular Hypertrophy

Background Increased sympathetic drive to the heart might contribute to the development and progression of myocardial damage in hypertensive patients (HTs). This study assessed the possible presence of abnormalities in myocardial uptake of123 I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG), a marker of sympathetic...
