Evaluation of atrial electromechanical properties in patients with masked hypertension

In this study, we evaluated the electromechanical properties of atriums in patients with masked hypertension by using tissue Doppler echocardiographic technique to predict the predisposition to atrial arrhythmias. A total of 118 subjects were included in the study. Twenty-four-hour blood pressure mo...

Description
Summary:In this study, we evaluated the electromechanical properties of atriums in patients with masked hypertension by using tissue Doppler echocardiographic technique to predict the predisposition to atrial arrhythmias. A total of 118 subjects were included in the study. Twenty-four-hour blood pressure monitorization (ABPM) was used to determinate the masked hypertension in the study group. Tissue Doppler imaging was used to find intra-left and -right atrial electromechanical delay (AEMD) and inter-atrial electromechanical delay. The results compared between patients with masked hypertension and without. There were 55 (%46.6) patients with masked hypertension and 63 (%53.4) patients without masked hypertension without any difference regarding age sex heart rate. No statistically significant difference was found in intra-right AEMD between the groups. Left ventricular end-diastolic and systolic diameters (p
