Assessment on Regression of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Hypertension with Echocardiography
Abstract：Objective:To assess the effect of amlodipine in regressing left ventricular hypertrophy in mild to moderate hypertensionwith echocardiography. Methods:Twenty mild to moderate hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy receivedthe treatment of amlodipine for 20 weeks, and underwent the examinations of blood pressure and color doppler echocardio-graphy pre and post treatment. Results: The parameters (24h SBP,24h DBP, dSBP, dDBP, nSBP, and nDBP) of 24h bloodpressure monitoring and that (IVST, PWT,and LVMI) of color doppler echocardiography significantly decreased after thetreatment (P＜0.01). Conclusion: Amlodipine can significantly lower blood pressure and make left ventricular hypertrophyregression in mild to moderate hypertension.
