Summary
Aim: To evaluate the effects of Valsartan versus Amlodipine on LV deformation in relation to
plasma adiponectin and leptin levels in hypertensive individuals.
Methods: LV strain measured by 2 dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography, plasma levels
of adiponectin and leptin was determined in 30 healthy individuals served as control group
and in 200 hypertensive patients before and after treatment for three months with either
Valsartan 160 mg or amlodipine 10 mg.
