title: [On the connection between left ventricular hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction in arterial hypertension].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate relationships between arterial pressure (AP), myocardial mass of the left ventricle (LVMM) and left ventricular diastolic function (LVDF) in patients with hypertension stage I and II.
  
  
  METHODS
  89 hypertensive patients and 30 healthy subjects (control group).
  
  
  RESULTS
  Initial defects in LVDF in the absence of its hypertrophy were detected already in hypertension stage I. At hypertension stage II diastolic dysfunction occurs in marked left ventricular hypertrophy. A close correlation exists between LVMM and LVMM index, on the one hand, and parameters of diastolic dysfunction, on the other hand.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There is a close correlation between left ventricular hypertrophy and its diastolic dysfunction.
