通常认为:高血压所继发的左室肥厚,包括室间隔和左室后壁是一种对称形式的肥厚。通过超声心动图(UCG)的研究,对这一常规见解产生了疑问。同时,在高血压中亦观察到了非对称性室间隔肥厚的存在。在这种情况下,如何确立诊断标准,颇感困难。作者使用M型UCG对37例重度全身性高血压患者(休息时舒张期血压均≥120毫米汞柱;均具有左室 It is generally assumed that hypertensive secondary LV hypertrophy, including ventricular septum and left ventricular posterior wall, is a symmetrical form of hypertrophy. Through this study, echocardiography (UCG) cast doubt on this general opinion. At the same time, the presence of asymmetric ventricular septal hypertrophy was also observed in hypertension. In this case, how to establish the diagnostic criteria, quite difficult. The authors used M type UCG on 37 patients with severe systemic hypertension (resting diastolic blood pressure ≥ 120 mm Hg; both have left ventricular
