Data detailed in 'Myocardial perfusion in hypertensive patients with normal coronary angiograms' have been presented. "Pressure-induced left ventricular hypertrophy is one of the mechanisms responsible for an impaired coronary vasodilating capacity leading to myocardial ischemia and angina.The aim of the study was to investigate myocardial perfusion using cardiovascular magnetic resonance in patients with arterial hypertension and a history of chest pain and normal coronary angiography, and to estimate the influence of left ventricular hypertrophy on the parameters of myocardial perfusion. The study included 102 patients (mean age 55.4 [+ or -]7.7 years) with well ...
