Differences of HMGB1 levels between hypertensive patients with and without diastolic dysfunction
Blood samples of all individuals are collected on the day of admission and HMGB1 levels are tested. Echocardiographic assessment is performed with echocardiography device by using 2.5-3.5 Mega Hertz(MHz) transducer in the lateral decubitis position.
