A mechanism for the development of fixed primary (essential) hypertension: insights from population-based studies using echocardiography.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Early reperfusion improves left ventricular (LV) function and survival after acute myocardial infarction (MI). Thrombolytic therapy achieves early patency of the infarct artery in about two-thirds of patients. In nearly half of the remaining patients, in whom early reperfusion was not achieved with thromboly...
