The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of regression of left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy on left atrial (LA) size and function in patients (pts) with mild-moderate hypertension treated with telmisartan. Pts population included 85 pts with mild moderateLV hypertrophy (64 men and 21 women of mean age 51 ±10 years, range 43-62). Left atrial size was measured during systole from the parasternal long axis view from M-mode). LA volumes were determined at mitral valve opening (max vol) and at mitral valve closure (min vol). LA volumes were measured from the apical 4- chamber and 2-chamber views by means of the biplane area-length method, and corrected for body surface area

Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of regression of left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy on left atrial (LA) size and function in patients (pts) with mild-moderate hypertension treated with telmisartan. Pts population included 85 pts with mild moderateLV hypertrophy (64 men and 21 women of mean age 51 ±10 years, range 43-62). Left atrial size was measured during systole from the parasternal long axis view from M-mode). LA volumes were determined at mitral valve opening (max vol) and at mitral valve closure (min vol). LA volumes were measured from the apical 4- chamber and 2-chamber views by means of the biplane area-length method, and corrected for body surface area
