BackgroundEarly recognition of left atrial (LA) and left ventricular (LV) remodelling may improve prognosis of patients with hypertension. MethodsLeft heart coupling indices were studied to investigate the adaptive effect of hypertension on cardiac remodelling. The ratio of LV to LA volumes was measured at selected phases of a cardiac cycle using computed tomography (CT) coronary angiography and transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE). A group of 180 patients was divided into Group 1 (no hypertensio...
