Myocardial Strain Imaging in Resistant Hypertension.

It is well-recognized that conventional transthoracic echocardiography is a useful analytic imaging modality to evaluate hypertension-mediated organ damage (HMOD) and in a resistant hypertensive population. More recently two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) has been utilized to provide further risk assessment to this population. Recent data has shown that STE is a new promising echocardiographic marker to evaluate early stage LV dysfunction and myocardial fibrosis over conventional 2D parameters in patients with cardiovascular diseases.
