Impact of Gestational Hypertension on Left Ventricular Function and Geometric Pattern

Background: The effect of gestational hypertension on left ventricular (LV) function in previously normotensive young women has not been evaluated. Methods and Results: A total of 106 gestational hypertensive women (GHW, 32.3±4.2 years) and 93 normotensive pregnant women (NPW, 30.2±4.4 years) were e...

Zusammenfassung:	Background: The effect of gestational hypertension on left ventricular (LV) function in previously normotensive young women has not been evaluated. Methods and Results: A total of 106 gestational hypertensive women (GHW, 32.3±4.2 years) and 93 normotensive pregnant women (NPW, 30.2±4.4 years) were enrolled. Transthoracic echocardiography, including 2-dimensional strain echocardiography, was done and myocardial performance (Tei index), LV mass index (LVMI), and relative wall thickness (RWT) were analyzed. GHW had significantly increased wall thickness (interventricular septum, 9.5±0.9mm vs. 8.8±1.0mm, P
