## Abstract Cardiac remodeling in case of hypertension induces hypertrophy of myocytes and elevated collagen content and, subsequently, impaired diastolic filling of the left ventricle. The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate changes of left ventricular (LV) myocardial mass, as well a
In 10 hypertensive black patients who were "previously untreated" (defined as no antihypertensive therapy for a minimum of 12 months prior to enrollment) and who had LVH (defined by an increase in both wall thickness and echocardiographically determined LV mass), we studied the effects of treatment
