Noninvasive assessment of left-ventricular diastolic electromechanical coupling in hypertensive heart disease
ConclusionThe correlation of TpTe withe′ andE/e′ in hypertensive patients suggests that these parameters reflect diastolic ventricular electromechanical coupling. TheE/e′ predicted outcome, and an elevatedE/e′ should be suspected when TpTe is prolonged (> 72 ms). Noninvasive evaluation of diastolic electromechanical coupling is clinically useful in patients with hypertension for predicting their outcome.
