Diastolic function of the left ventricle was assessed in 29 untreated patients with mild to moderate hypertension and in 21 normotensive control subjects using gated radionuclide ventriculography. In hypertensive patients, the time to peak filling rate was significantly longer (p less than 0.01) than that in control subjects, and first-third filling fraction and peak filling rate were significantly reduced (p less than 0.001). The ejection fraction and peak ejection rate were also significantly reduced in hypertensive patients (p less than 0.001). No relation was observed between diastolic functional impairment and age, cardiac hypertrophy, or severity of hypertension. Thus, early impairment of ventricular filling is present in hypertension, even in young patients without evidence of cardiac hypertrophy.

D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more.

D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.
