A Clinical Study on the Correlation between Echocardiographic Parameters and Demographic Variables in Hypertension Patients
Vol. 2 , Issue 2 (2024) · pp. 112-113
Abstract
Hypertension is one of the most prevalent chronic conditions worldwide, and its impact on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality is profound. Echocardiography provides an essential tool for assessing structural and functional changes in the heart, particularly left ventricular hypertrophy, which is a predictor of adverse outcomes. This study investigates the correlation between echocardiographic parameters and demographic variables such as age, gender, body mass index (BMI), and stages of hypertension. The findings highlight that age and BMI play significant roles in influencing left ventricular mass, wall thickness, and diastolic dysfunction, while gender-specific variations in cardiac remodeling were also observed. The study emphasizes the clinical relevance of demographic factors in interpreting echocardiographic findings among hypertensive patients. Cardiovascular consequences of uncontrolled hypertension include left.
