PP.04.11: LEFT VENTRICULAR HYPERTROPHY IS MORE IMPORTANT WHEN HIGHER IS CENTRAL SYSTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE IN MILD TO MODERATE HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS

Objective:Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in hypertensive patients (P) is an independent marker of mortality and it is important to evaluate the effect of treatment on this parameter. However, little is known about the relationship between LVH, central pressures and arterial stiffness.To evaluate
