Abstract
Aims: Hypertensive heart disease (HHD) is recognized as a key clinical precursor to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF). However, pathophysiological transition from HHD to HFPEF is not well understood. We sought determine whether regional differences in impaired myocardial function may underlie the greater mechanical dysfunction seen in HFPEF compared to HHD. Methods and results: We used standardized echocardiography to assess regional myocardial deformation in a cohort of n = 327 adults with preserved left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (≥45%), including: n = 129 with HFPEF, n = 158 with HHD and no heart failure, and n = 40 normotensive controls. From detailed measurements of LV systolic strain performed in multiple views, we derived and then compared regional measures of basal, mid-ventricular, and apical longitudinal strains. In models adjusting for clinical covariates, basal and mid-ventricular LV myocardial deformation was more impaired in HHD than in controls (P ≤ 0.003), whereas apical deformation was more impaired in HFPEF than in HHD (P = 0.005). In multivariable-adjusted analyses, only apical strain remained independently associated with HFPEF vs. HHD status [odds ratio 1.18 (1.02–1.37), P = 0.030 per 1% decrease in apical strain]. Compared to other regional strains, apical longitudinal strain optimally differentiated HFPEF from HHD (area under the receiver operating curve: apical longitudinal strain = 0.67; mid-ventricular longitudinal strain = 0.59; basal longitudinal strain = 0.60). Conclusion: We found that while apical mechanical function is preserved in HHD, it was impaired in HFPEF and may contribute to the transition from an asymptomatic heart disease to a symptomatic heart disease.
