Left Ventricular Torsion Associated With Aortic Stiffness in Hypertension

BACKGROUND: Left ventricular (LV) torsion plays a key role in cardiac efficiency. In hypertension, aortic stiffening augments cardiac afterload. However, little is known about the links between LV regional contraction and aortic stiffness. We, therefore, investigated these relationships and their co...
