<br/><br/> Tissue doppler imagine of the mitral annulus may predict the diastolic filling of left ventricle . Objectives : We investigated the patten of diastolic function in a subset of hypertensive patients and evaluated the correlation between mitral annular TDI velocities and plasma level of NT pro BNP and predictive cutoff value to diagnose LV diastolic dysfunction
