The effect of hypertension on cardiac structure and function in different types of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: A single-center retrospective study.

CONCLUSIONS: HTN can affect left ventricular capacity in obstructive HCM and apical HCM, causing a decrease in ventricular capacity in the former and increase in the latter; it has no significant effect on the size of the left ventricular cavity in septal HCM. HTN can lead to a poor therapeutic effect on aortic flow rate and pressure gradient in obstructive HCM patients. PMID: 29985667 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
