LVDD is also partly due to left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). If left untreated, LVDD can progress to diastolic heart failure and systolic heart failure. In Western countries, the prevalence of LVDD in long-term hypertensive patients ranges from 40.3% to 60%, but it is more common among hypertensive Nigerians. Since systemic hypertension can be asymptomatic in the early stages, it is important to evaluate LVDD early and control blood pressure to slow down its progression.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Aims and Objectives:<\/jats:title>\n The study aims to highlight the prevalence of LVDD and to determine the stages of LVDD among newly diagnosed hypertensive patients at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (UMTH).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Method:<\/jats:title>\n The study design is a hospital-based, cross-sectional, observational study. The study population consists of 352 consecutive treatment Na\u00efve hypertensive adult patients aged 18 years and above who presented to the Cardiology Clinic of UMTH from June 2019 to June 2021. The study used the diagnostic criteria for LVDD and LVH which were based on the American Society of Echocardiography and the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n A total of 352 newly diagnosed hypertensive patients were recruited, with a mean age of 50.9 \u00b1 11.8 years, and 54.3% were female. The majority of patients (63.6%) were overweight or obese, with a mean body mass index (BMI) of 28.5 \u00b1 4.6 kg\/m\n 2<\/jats:sup>\n . The mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) was 155.7 \u00b1 16.9 mmHg, and the mean diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was 92.8 \u00b1 10.8 mmHg. LVDD was found in 58.5% of the patients, with stage 1 LVDD being the most common (42.6%), followed by stage 2 LVDD (15.9%). The prevalence of LVDD was significantly higher in females compared to males. Patients with LVDD were significantly older and had higher BMI, higher systolic and DBP, higher pulse pressure, higher LAVI, and higher LVMI compared to those without LVDD (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.05).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n LVDD is highly prevalent among newly diagnosed hypertensive patients, with stage 1 being the most common. Female gender, older age, higher BMI, higher blood pressure, higher LAVI, and higher LVMI were significant predictors of LVDD. Early detection and appropriate management of LVDD may help to prevent adverse cardiovascular outcomes in hypertensive patients.<\/jats:p>\n
