Résumé
Left heart remodeling is a well-known pathophysiological effect of arterial hypertension. Right Heart status is not considered in its evaluation. No data are available on right atrium (RA) and its impact on the outcome in hypertension. We wondering to understand whether RA may play a role as a marker of an increased risk for organ damage in well-controlled hypertensives, to probe the clinical significance and whether it could indicate an increased risk. We studied well-controlled hypertensive patients. Heart damage was assessed by echocardiography. Patients were subdivided into those with RA area ≤18 cm Group 2 hypertensive patients showed more alterations in dimensional and volumetric left heart parameters, and an increased mortality.

BACKGROUND AND AIM
Left heart remodeling is a well-known pathophysiological effect of arterial hypertension. Right Heart status is not considered in its evaluation. No data are available on right atrium (RA) and its impact on the outcome in hypertension. We wondering to understand whether RA may play a role as a marker of an increased risk for organ damage in well-controlled hypertensives, to probe the clinical significance and whether it could indicate an increased risk.
METHODS AND RESULTS
We studied well-controlled hypertensive patients. Heart damage was assessed by echocardiography. Patients were subdivided into those with RA area ≤18 cm
CONCLUSION
Group 2 hypertensive patients showed more alterations in dimensional and volumetric left heart parameters, and an increased mortality.
