The correlation of TpTe with e' and E/e' in hypertensive patients suggests that these parameters reflect diastolic ventricular electromechanical coupling. The E/e' predicted outcome, and an elevated E/e' should be suspected when TpTe is prolonged (> 72 ms). Noninvasive evaluation of diastolic electromechanical coupling is clinically useful in patients with hypertension for predicting their outcome.
