Relationship Between Left Ventricular Mass and Endothelium-Dependent Vasodilation in Never-Treated Hypertensive Patients

Abstract

Our data provide the first evidence that echocardiographic LVM in hypertensive patients is inversely related to FBF responses to the endothelium-dependent vasodilating agent ACh, but it is likely that both endothelium and LVM are damaged by hypertension.
