A significant decrease in LS over time was associated with male sex, higher baseline MAP, ∆MAP, and alteration in antihypertensive treatment. We suggested an interaction between a longitudinal decrease in LV deformation and adverse cardiac remodeling, while underscoring the importance of deformation analysis based on LS assessment in patients at risk.
