Endothelial dysfunction predicted increased left atrial volume index in newly diagnosed nondiabetic hypertensive patients

This study included 96 consecutive newly diagnosed hypertensive patients. Left atrium volume and left ventricular ejection fraction were calculated. Pulse wave velocity and brachial artery flow-mediated dilation measurements were obtained from each patient. Results Left Ventricle Mass Index (114 ± 29 g/m2, 91 ± 17 g/m2, P
