However, systolic function via endocardial measurements is similar between patients with primary aldosteronism and essential hypertension. Speckle-tracking echocardiography is a sensitive tool which can detect subclinical impairments in systolic function. The aim of this study was to investigate aldosterone-induced subclinical impairments in systolic function.englobal longitudinal strain; primary aldosteronism; speckle-tracking echocardiography; Taiwan Primary Aldosteronism Investigation; PRESERVED EJECTION FRACTION; MYOCARDIAL FIBROSIS; ARTERIAL-HYPERTENSION; MATRIX METALLOPROTEINASE-1; CHAMBER QUANTIFICATION; EUROPEAN-ASSOCIATION; LONGITUDINAL STRAIN; AMERICAN-SOCIETY; TISSUE INHIBITOR; HEART-FAILUREjournal article10.1097/HJH.0000000000001534289026632-s2.0-85039726445WOS:000429316900018
