Impact of Hypertension on Heart using Echocardiography

Abstract

This is descriptive study cross-sectional study aim to study the impact of hypertension in heart, using Vivid 3 General Electric USA with probe 3s in Asia hospital, the study had 60 hypertension patients aged between 35-85 years old, affected age between 68-78, all subject are examined in transthoracic echocardiography and pulsed Doppler through apical 4 chamber to assess the flow pattern through mitral valve. The study found that male 35 percentage 58.3% more affected than female 25 percentage 41.7% the affected age 68-78 years of 24 patients from all patients percentage 40%. The study found that the duration of hypertension from 1-35 years. 36 patient had control this The important finding according to the effects of hypertensions that left ventricular hypertrophy in 38 patients percentage 62.7%, these patients have Diastolic Dysfunctions. Aortic root affected in 5 patients percentage 8.3%, mitral regurgitations in 15 patients percentage 25%, Aortic regurgitations in 6 patients percentage 10%, Tricuspid regurgitations in 8 patients percentage 13.3%, Inter ventricular septal thickening in 16 patients 26.7%, left ventricular wall thickening in 17 patients percentage 28.3%. The study found that sclerotic mitral valve and aortic valve in 36 patients percentage 60%, hypertensive heart disease in 11 patients (18.3%). Interventricular hypertrophy in 4 patients percentage 6.7% , the study found that 38 patients have different heart disease due to hypertension. The study conclude that hypertension when it uncontrolled it lead to different heart abnormalities and lead to many complications in heart champers and xii blood supply heart or body. The study recommended other studies with large sample and other imaging modalities can show good result.
