ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of the alteration of left atrium diameter in hypertension patients.Methods Among 85 hypertension patients,65 cases were selected from the patients of our hospital.20 healthy subjects were also included in our study.Ultrasonography imager was used to measure the internal diameter of left atrium(LAD),septal thickness(IVST),left ventricular posterior wall thickness(LVPWT),left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),left ventricular mass index(LVMI),E/A ratio and rest heart rate(RHR) for the analysis among them.Results LAD significantly enlarged in hypertension and normal LVMI patients compared with that of the control group(P
