Abstract: The aim of this study was to determine the clinical application of echocardiography in assessing the change of left ventricular systolic time interval in patients with hypertension. The study measured pre-ejection period (PEP), left ventricular ejection time (LVET), PEP/LVET and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients with hypertension and normal subjects by echocardiography, and compared the data with the normal subjects using of analysis of t test. In patients with hypertension, systolic time interval is the sensitive index in discriminating the increase of left ventricular afterload.

Key words: echocardiography, hypertension, systolic time interval
