Objectives. The aim of this study was to quantitatively measure regional and global
myocardial blood flow and coronary reserve in hypertensive patients without coronary artery …

Patients with essential arterial hypertension demonstrate abnormal vasodilator capacity
either during increased cardiac metabolic demand or during pharmacological vasodilation …

Background In arterial hypertension, changes in both left ventricular mass and geometry
may occur. Concentric left ventricular remodeling (ie an increased wall thickness relative to …

Myocardial perfusion in hypertensive patients with normal coronary angiograms : Journal of …

Objectives. This study was initiated to compare the coronary reserve in treated hypertensive
ptients with and without left ventricular hypertrophy with that in untreated patients …

Background: Hypertensive patients show a blunted coronary flow reserve (CFR) that, in the
absence of epicardial disease, is an index of microvascular dysfunction. We aimed at …

An impaired coronary vasodilator reserve has been demonstrated in all stages of
hypertensive heart disease but is most likely in the setting of hypertrophy. The decrease in …

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between
hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) with both coronary vascular remodeling …

BACKGROUND At any given perfusion pressure, coronary reserve is expressed by the
difference between autoregulated and maximally vasodilated flow. In hypertension the …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the different mechanisms responsible for an
impairment of coronary vasodilator capacity in hypertensive subjects by an integrated …
