Left ventricular geometric patterns in newly presenting nigerian hypertensives: An echocardiographic study
BACKGROUND: Hypertension is a global problem and it is prevalent in Nigeria. Left ventricular hypertrophy is a major complication of hypertension with risk of sudden death and arrhythmias among others. Abnormal left ventricular geometric patterns also increase the burden of morbidity and mortality....
