Description
Loay Soliman, Mohamed Elramly, and Ahmed Shehatah scan in 2026 the right side of the heart in 150 hypertensive patients over forty, asking how left-sided thickening spills across. Dual-source CT measured left muscle mass, wall patterns, and right chamber volumes and pumping strength. Hypertension research usually stops at the left ventricle.
About half the patients kept normal left geometry, while the rest split among three abnormal patterns. Heavier left ventricles correlated with larger right volumes and weaker right pumping on both measures used. Right function declined step by step from normal geometry toward concentric hypertrophy, the most severe pattern. The authors read the pattern as early two-sided heart involvement in hypertension. Spotting left remodelling early, they argue, could flag patients before right heart failure, a known marker of poor outcomes, sets in.
