Correlation of left ventricular diastolic function on echocardiography and common carotid artery elasticity on ET imaging in hypertension patients
高血压病患者左心室舒张功能与颈总动脉弹性关系的超声研究

Objective To investigate the relationship between diastolic function of the left ventricle and common carotid artery(CCA)elasticity in patients with hypertension.Methods Forty-one primary hypertension patients and 31 healthy volunteers underwent echocardiography to obtain the indices of LV diastolic function and also echo tracking techniqne(ET)to obtain the CCA elasticity indices.The LV diastolic function indices included Ve(early diastolic peak velocity),Va(late diastolic peak velocity),Ve/Va,Em(early dias...
