BLOOD PRESSURE VARIABILITY AND MYOCARDIAL STIFFNESS IN THE MIDDLE-AGED NAÏVE HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS

Abstract

Objective:to assess left ventricular (LV) and left atrial (LA) echocardiographic myocardial stiffness parameters in the middle-aged patients with stage II grade 1–2 essential arterial hypertension (EAH) without concomitant cardiovascular diseases in relation to short-term blood pressure variability
