FEATURES OF CLINICAL AND STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL HEART CHANGES IN PATIENTS WITH AH ACCORDING TO TISSUE DOPPLEROGRAPHY DATA

Abstract

Arterial hypertension (AH) remains one of the most important causes of chronic heart failure (CHF). In recent years, close attention has been paid to the study of indicators of tissue Doppler ultrasonography, as early markers of the development of CHF [A. Lerman, 1993; M. Davis, 1994; European guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of CHF, 2005]. In hypertension, the study of tissue Doppler imaging parameters can serve as a reliable marker of diastolic heart failure. At the same time, tissue Doppler data are extremely important for assessing the prognosis in hypertension, especially in concomitant CHF.
