[Structural and functional features of the left ventricle in patients with hypertensive form of chronic glomerulonephritis with preserved kidney function].
Remodeling and changes of left ventricular (LV) function objectively characterize effects of arterial hypertension (AH). However, structural and functional state of LV in patients with AH, chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN), and preserved renal function remains virtually unexplored. It was studied by Doppler echo-CG in 136 patients with hypertensive form of CGN to reveal LV hypertrophy, remodeling, systolic and diastolic function. LV hypertrophy was shown to develop starting from stage 2 AH when it had concentric shape compared with dilatation eccentric one in patents with stage 3 AH. In either case systolic function of LV decreased. Diastolic dysfunction was diagnosed in all patients with AH and CGN.
