Doppler evaluation of left ventricular filling: effect of verapamil on non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

abstract：:The endothelium may play a role as a target and mediator of hypertension. Due to its anatomical position, it is very exposed to mechanical forces; as a source of vasoactive material it may participate in increasing peripheral vascular resistance and in promoting local ischaemia in the heart and brain. Morphological an...
