Ventricular/vascular coupling dynamics and regional hemodynamics of five hypertensive baboons with concentric left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy (mean arterial pressure ± SD, 148 ± 16 mm Hg; LV mass/body weight ratio 3.42 ± 0.8) were compared with five normotensive controls (mean arterial pressure 89...
