Sažetak
An inducible LV intracavitary gradient occurred in a large number (43%) of patients referred to DSE in our centre. These patients had significantly smaller LV cavity dimensions which, together with notably increased radial function, likely contributes to the development of the gradient. Higher values of LV radial function measurements are common in hypertension. Indeed, we noted a higher incdence of hypertension in the group developing the intracavitary gradient. In this group of patients, the occurrence of inducible ischaemia was significantly lower.
