CONCLUSION
As a final conclusion, a decrease in GLS and GCS indices of mid
myocardial and epicardial ventricular wall layers is predictable in the
context of hypertension, and this is significantly evident in patients
with ventricular diastolic dysfunction. It seems that more studies on
larger sample patients with more chronic and advanced hypertention as
well as considering patients’ drug history as variable, are required to
achieve the most confident conclusion.
