摘要
The heart changes on echocardiography in 30 elderly female cases with Ⅰ～Ⅱ stage essential hypertension (patient group, PG) were evaluated by using an Acuson Sonographic Computer System (USA) via echocardiography.Ten normotensive elderly female subjects without heart diseases acted as control group (CG). he results showed that in PG compared with in CG, the left atrial internal dimension and left ventricular mass were larger;EF slope and the fractional shortening were lower;the mitral valve peak a and the tricuspid valve peak a were higher;the mitral valve peak e and the ratios or e/a of both mitral and tricuspid valves were lower.There were correlations between the above-mentioned changes and the hypertensive course as well as the blood pressure.There were also some correlativities among the heart changes.The results indicate that the main factors to induce the heart changes on echocardiography in elderly female hypertensives are systolic blood pressure and hypertensive course.
