Assessment of left atrial and left ventricular functions in hypertensive patients with sinus rhythm and atrial fibrillation using tissue Doppler imaging

If treated, hypertension (HTN) may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and overall mortality (1). Life expectancy in adults is reduced by five years due to HTN, which is commonly misdiagnosed or improperly treated despite the widespread availability of effective pharmacological medicines and updated clinical recommendations (2). Hypertensive heart disease is a cardiovascular sequela of hypertension and is characterised by left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), left atrial enlargement, left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, functional mitral regurgitation, and neuro-hormonal alterations (3). Doppler tissue imaging has paved the way for novel echocardiography modalities like as tissue tracking and strain rate imaging, which may be utilized to evaluate regional LV systolic shortening. Myocardial stretching or shortening may be determined using strain rate analysis (4).
