TL;DRAbstract

Introduction: Cross-sectional studies in patient with hypertensive heart disease (HHD) and heart failure with normal ejection fraction (HFnlEF) suggested impairment of longitudinal myocardial mechanics as assessed by tissue Doppler imaging. It has been suggested that enhanced circumferential, and/or radial LV mechanics or LV remodeling compensates for depression in longitudinal function and thus, preserves EF in HHD or HFnlEF. Hypothesis : We hypothesized that if longitudinal performance is depressed, whether due to increased afterload or to intrinsic myocardial dysfunction, circumferential and radial LV mechanics would also be effected. To test this hypothesis, we used an aged canine model of hypertension. Methods: Elderly dogs (n=22) underwent bilateral renal wrapping to induce hypertension. 2D echocardiography (mid-short axis views) was performed before and 8 weeks after renal wrapping; peak radial (PR) and peak circumferential (PC) regional strains were measured by speckle tracking
