ABSTRACT Examination of 32 patients with isolated systolic arterial hypertension (office blood pressure 171.9 = -3.3/79.7 +/- 0.2 mm Hg) and 54 ones with systolic/diastolic hypertension) 179.8 +/- 3.9/114.8 +/- 1.9 mm Hg) showed that the former are characterized by isolated hypertrophy of interventricular septum, the latter by symmetric hypertrophy of the septum and free left ventricular wall. Septal hypertrophy affects the initial phase of diastolic filling of the left ventricle as appears from longer time of isovolume relaxation and low peak rate of early transmitral blood flow; it does not influence diastolic function of the right ventricle. Hypertrophy of the free left ventricular wall disturbs the final stage of early diastolic filling of both right and left ventricles manifest as increased duration of their slowed early filling.
