dc.description.abstractThere is substantial evidence that the burden of hypertension, hypertension with left ventricular hypertrophy and hypertensive heart failure is very enormous in sub-Saharan Africa. There is therefore the need to look for easier and faster means, compared to electrocardiography and echocardiography of diagnosing and differentiating the different effects of long standing hypertension on cardiac remodelling which ultimately lead to systolic and diastolic dysfunctions as this affects the prognosis, management and treatment modalities of hypertension. We studied 210 subjects who were subdivided into three groups after echocardiography: those without left ventricular hypertrophy (HT) (n=83); those with left ventricular hypertrophy (HTLVH) (n=50) and those with hypertensive heart failure (HHF) (n=77).en_ZA
