dc.description.abstractBackground: In hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy, myocardial performance index, is a diagnostic tool that asses both diastolic and systolic dysfunction that cannot be otherwise detected by conventional methods. Objective: To determine the relationship between myocardial performance index with left ventricular hypertrophy and its clinical corelates among hypertensive patients at TASH. Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study from September 15, 2023-December 15,2023 at Tikur Anbessa Specialized hospital. All consecutive patients with hypertension and without exclusion criteria were recruited. Association between left ventricular hypertrophy and myocardial performance index was assessed along other clinical corelates. Results: 64 / 93 participants (68.8%) were females. LVH was detected only in 14/93(15%).79/93(84.9%) of participants. No association was detected between myocardial performance index and left ventricular hypertrophy. Both systolic and diastolic blood pressure influence development of an abnormal myocardial performance. Conclusion: High blood pressure is associated with abnormal myocardial performance but not left ventricular hypertrophy.
