Systolic Time Ratio Measured by Impedance Cardiography Accurately Screens Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction in Patients with Arterial Hypertension

BACKGROUND: The use of impedance cardiography (ICG) may play a role in the assessment of cardiac effects of hypertension (HT), especially its hemodynamic features. Hypertensive heart disease involves structural changes and alterations in left ventricular geometry that end up causing systolic and/or...
