BACKGROUNDTo explore the prognostic value of left ventricular (LV) longitudinal systolic dysfunction in patients with hypertension.METHODSIn 156 hypertensive subjects, LV longitudinal systolic function was assessed by echocardiographic measurement of M-mode left atrioventricular plane displacement (AVPD) and Tissue Doppler (TD)-derived mitral annulus peak systolic velocity %). Patients were followed for development of the following cardiovascular events: congestive heart failure requiring hospitalization, new-onset angina, nonfatal myocardial infarction, coronary revascularization procedures, transient ischemic attack, nonfatal stroke, and cardiovascular death.RESULTSOver a follow-up of 23.3 +/- 5.4 months, 24 patients had 29 events. Both longitudinal systolic indices were predictive of outcome (hazard ratios: AVPD, 0.24, P < 0.001; S-m, 0.22; P < 0.001). AVPD
