Abstract

Background: Hypertension (HT) is associated with LVH, abnormal LV diastolic function and CHF with normal systolic function. Although LV size and function has been characterized in this group, left atrial (LA) size and function have not been well studied. Therefore, we characterized LA size and function in a group of patients with HT, with acute left heart failure and normal systolic function. Methods: Twenty-seven patients with HT and normal EF hospitalized with pulmonary congestion were compared to six normal individuals.
