Right ventricle remodeling in patients with hypertensive disease

Examination of 92 patients with grade I-II hypertensive disease showed that the emergence and enhancement of left ventricular concentric hypertrophy cause no changes in the volume of heart cavities and ventricular systolic function but result in the lengthening of the left ventricle and the diminishing of the right ventricle. These findings are interpreted in terms of Torrent-Guasp's theory of monolayer spiral ventricular structure.
