We followed 1,778 subjects (up to 12 years) with essential hypertension who underwent echocardiography at the time of their initial diagnostic workup. There were 166 major cardiovascular events during follow-up and the prognostic value of the midwall shortening fraction did not remain significant after controlling for left ventricular mass.

Abstract
We followed 1,778 subjects (up to 12 years) with essential hypertension who underwent echocardiography at the time of their initial diagnostic workup. There were 166 major cardiovascular events during follow-up and the prognostic value of the midwall shortening fraction did not remain significant after controlling for left ventricular mass.File in questo prodotto:
