Echocardiographic evaluation of left ventricular function in patients showing an antihypertensive and biochemical response to indapamide.
Abstract
Left ventricular function was evaluated non-invasively in hypertensive patients treated with indapamide by means of echographically determined velocity of circumferential fibre shortening (VCF). A statistically significant reduction in mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure in both the standing and supine position (P less than 0.001) and after exercise, systolic (P less than 0.001) diastolic (P less than 0.05) occurred but no alteration in …
