Table 2.
Change of echocardiographic parameters during more than 20 years of follow-up.
| Parameter | Controls (n = 295) | Subjects with hypertension (n = 257) | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Delta LVIDD, mm | 0.13 ± 5.5 | 0.62 ± 5.7 | 0.30 |
| Delta IVS, mm | 0.36 ± 3.0 | −0.28 ± 2.3 | 0.005 |
| Delta LVPW, mm | 0.83 ± 1.9 | 0.37 ± 2.1 | 0.006 |
| Delta LVMI, g/m2 | 9.3 ± 29.3 | 6.7 ± 30.4 | 0.33 |
| Delta FS, % | 4.5 ± 7.8 | 2.1 ± 7.8 | < 0.001 |
| Delta LAD, mm | 0.6 ± 6.2 | 0.6 ± 5.9 | 0.96 |
The values are presented as mean ± SD. Delta = the change of the value of a parameter between baseline and follow-up visit. The abbreviations are the same as in the Table 1.
