This study evaluates the coronary flow reserve (CFR) in hypertensive patients with and without left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy. CFR was assessed by transesophageal Doppler echocardiography in 15 normal subjects (group I), 21 hypertensive patients without LV hypertrophy (group II), and 27 hypertensive patients with LV hypertrophy (group III). All hypertensive patients were complaining of typical anginal pain and had normal coronary angiograms. The sample volume was placed at the bifurcation of the left main and left anterior descending coronary arteries. Coronary blood flow velocities were evaluated at rest, 2 minutes after dipyridamole infusion, and 2 minutes after intravenous aminophylline. The ratios of dipyridamole to rest peak diastolic and systolic velocities were considered as indexes of CFR. Peak diastolic velocity ratio was significantly lower in group III than in groups I and II (1.6 +/- 0.2 2.7 +/- 0.4, and 2.1 +/- 0.2, respectively p
