<B>To evaluate the alteration of myocardial contractility in hypertensive patients with different left ventricular geometric patterns by the end-systolic stress-midwall fractional shortening relation. Echocardiography was applied to study the left ventricular geometry and cardiac function among 117 cases of essential hypertension, with 45 normal cases as control(s). Left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and relative wall thickness (RWT) were calculated using echocardiographic data. All patients were divided into four kinds of left ventricular geometry pattern based on LVMI and RWT. Patients of the eccentric hypertrophy group suffered the most serious damage of left ventricular systolic function. Myocardial contractility shown by end-systolic stress-midwall fractional shortening relation was significantly decreased in the concentric remodeling group, eccentric hypertrophy group and concentric hypertrophy group, and those with concentric hypertrophy showed the worst contractility. The degree of myocardial contractility damage was different in patients with different left ventricular geometric patterns. Geometric changes may have compensated for the reduction of myocardial contractility in some phases in order to maintain the normal pump function. (<I>Hypertens Res</I> 2002; 25: 191-195)</B>
