Structural functional remodeling of the heart and vessels in patients with essential arterial hypertension with different body mass
Kharkiv Medical Academy of Post−graduate Education, Kharkiv, Ukraine
Comparative characteristics of the parameters of ultrasound investigation of the heart and vessels in patients with essential hypertension, foundational class I and II chronic heart failure and various body mass is presented. It was established that increase of body mass index in this group of patients was associated with the tendency to reduction of preserved ejection fraction and increase of severity of diastolic dysfunction of the left ventricle.
Key words: essential arterial hypertension, systolic and diastolic function of the left heart ventricle, left ventricle geometry, structural functional state of the vessels.
