Considerations in understanding the coronary blood flow- left ventricular mass relationship in patients with hypertension.

Conclusion Hypertension is associated with a reduction in CBF adjusted for LV mass with a highly significant inverse association between CBF and LV mass. Clinicians should be aware that patients with hypertension are at greater risk for myocardial ischemia should other factors develop that limit CBF or myocardial oxygen delivery.
