Arterial hypertension is considered a risk factor for the development of heart failure. Here we investigate cross-sectional associations of systolic and diastolic blood pressure with subtle functional and morphological changes of left ventricular echocardiographic parameters representing early dysfunction in three representative German population-based studies. We assessed 26,719 individuals without symptomatic...
