The impact of arterial hypertension on left ventricular strain in patients with aortic stenosis and preserved ejection fraction

Conclusion: Hypertension had additional significant negative influence on LV mechanics in patients with significant aortic stenosis. Blood pressure was associated with LV global longitudinal and circumferential strains in aortic stenosis patients independently of main clinical and demographic characteristics.
