Title: The assessment of left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertensive patients with the use of Magnetic Resonance

Abstract:

The aim of this research is to present usefulness of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) to assess left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertensive patients and comparison of echocardiographic and Cardio MR results. We analysed a group consisting of 48 hypertensive patients, with suspected left ventricular hypertrophy. Cardio MR was performed by 1,5 Tesla Scanner. We assessed left ventricular parameters such as: Ejection Fraction, End-Diastolic Volume and End-Systolic Volume. We also assessed left ventricular diameters as well as left ventricular posterior wall and interventricular septum thickness. We also calculated left ventricular mass (LVM) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI). In most cases (66,7%) patients had significant hypertrophy of the left ventricle. They also had higher LVM than the normal. We affirmed statistically significant changes of left ventricular’s morphological parameters and LVM. The significant correlation was found between posterior wall diameter and LVM, as well as between interventricular septum and LVM. The significant correlation was found between posterior wall diameter and left ventricular Ejection Fraction and End-Systolic Volume. To compare Echocardiography analysis with CMR we have to conclude that LV mass and Ejection Fraction measured by CMR is usually less than echocardiographic LV mass and EF. In conclusion we can say that CMR is an eff ; ective method to detect LVH in hypertensive patients.
