Background The presence of diastolic dysfunction in a hypertensive patient is not
necessarily associated to the existence of left ventricular hypertrophy. The aim of this study …

Abstract Changes in blood pressure and heart rate after exercise, left ventricular wall
thickness, ejection fraction and left ventricular mass were examined by echocardiography …

Systemic and regional hemodynamics and cardiac structural changes were studied in 12
patients with mild to moderately severe essential hypertension before and then 90 minutes …

This study evaluated by echocardiography (M-mode tracings, two-dimensional-guided) the
effects of captopril administration for one year (25 to 50 mg twice a day, alone or in …

Left ventricular hypertrophy is the consequence of a structural adaptation of the heart in
response to the chronic pressure load, leading to a reduction of the increased systolic wall …

We evaluated the effect of captopril treatment on left ventricular mass (LVM) and function in
sustained mild-to-moderate primary hypertension. In 16 men aged 34.5+/-6.4 yrs. M-mode …

While antihypertensive therapy is considered to be an important clinical intervention in
hypertensive patients, its effects on cardiac structure and function have not been intensely …

The acute haemodynamic effects of intravenous captopril were measured, and left
ventricular function was analysed by radionuclide angiography in eleven patients with …

Captopril effects were studied in 27 patients with second-stage essential hypertension
following administration of a single 25 mg oral dose of the drug. Blood pressure (BP), blood …

In 10 severe hypertensives the effects of intravenous administration of scalar doses of
captopril were evaluated. The behaviour of blood pressure, heart rate, electrocardiographic …
