[Echocardiography in the evaluation of left ventricle hemodynamics in patients with arterial hypertension].
Thirty patients with arterial hypertension and 20 normotensive individuals were echocardiographically examined. Each patient with arterial hypertension was subjected to ECG and Rö-graphy of the heart and the lungs. In these patients significant thickness of the septum, of the left ventricular posterior wall and increased left ventricle were established. Simultaneous significant decrease of the ejection fraction, myofibril reduction and decreased EF slope of the mitral valve were found. Echocardiography is a very sensitive method in the detection of hypertrophy of the left ventricle in comparison to ECG and Rö-graphy.
