Abstract
To study the structural and functional changes of the right and left heart in primary and secondary arterial hypertension (AH). Materials and Methods. The study included 104 patients with various degrees of hypertension (WHO, 1999), including 58 women and 46 men (mean age 52 ± 7,3 years). Surveyed patients were divided into 2 groups: group 1- 70 patients with essential hypertension (EH) I stage (WHO, 1993), group 2 - 34 patients with secondary hypertension syndrome in primary aldosteronism (PA). Common indicators of systolic and diastolic function (DF) of the right ventricle (RV) and left ventricular (LV) were identified during echocardiography (echocardiography) with color Doppler. Results. The process of cardiac remodeling in primary and secondary hypertension has several stages and is characterized by sequential development of structural and functional changes in right and left heart.
