Subclinical Systolic and Diastolic Dysfunction Is Evident in Youth With Elevated Blood Pressure
Hypertension is associated with cardiovascular events in adults. Subclinical changes to left ventricular strain and diastolic function have been found before development of decreased left ventricular ejection fraction and cardiovascular events. Our objective was to study effects of blood pressure (B...

Zusammenfassung: | Hypertension is associated with cardiovascular events in adults. Subclinical changes to left ventricular strain and diastolic function have been found before development of decreased left ventricular ejection fraction and cardiovascular events. Our objective was to study effects of blood pressure (BP) on ventricular function in youth across the BP spectrum. Vital signs and labs were obtained in 346 participants aged 11 to 19 years who had BP categorized as low-risk (N=144; systolic BP |
