Abstract

Renovascular hypertension (RH) is a major cause of secondary hypertension, and hypertension eventually led to cardiac remodeling in patients. Hypertension leads to concentric left ventricle hypertrophy, while hypervolemia originated from renal failure leads to eccentric hypertrophy. Both mechanisms occur in RH which results in complex cardiac remodeling. Uraemic cardiomyopathy results from RH is characterized by diastolic dysfunction, but traditional echocardiography was limited in evaluating the diastolic function due to unknown hemodynamic and morphologic status. Recently, non-invasive intraventricular pressure gradient (IVPG), a preload-independent diastolic function parameter, was established and showed higher sensitivity to evaluate diastolic dysfunctions, particularly during cardiomyopathy. However, no previous studies highlighted the feasibility of the IVPG in the diagnosis of RH.
