Popis:	During chronic mechanical overload induced by hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy predisposes to atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. Atrial arrhythmias, mainly atrial fibrillation, decrease cardiac output and increase the risk of embolism whereas ventricular arrhythmias remain the major cause of sudden death. In hypertensive patients, Holter EKG recordings frequently detect atrial or ventricular premature beats and more rarely atrial or ventricular tachycardia. In these patients, the presence of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia is considered as an independent predictor of mortality. Moreover, this non invasive method through the assessment of heart rate variability allows the study of the autonomic control of the heart, known to modulate occurrence of arrhythmias.
