Abstract

The structural and functional changes of left and right ventricles as well as the existence of ventricular interaction in patients with arterial hypertenison (AH) were discussed in many research papers. Therefore, published data regarding right ventricular changes under influence of AH are scarce, non-univocal, and sometimes contradictory. Furthermore, there is a significant lack of clinical trials addressing the influence of circadian BP profile on RV structure and function.The importance of right ventricular function in maintaining global cardiac performance was proven. However, the importance of the right ventricular structure and function for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality is still under debate. Despite the abundance of the study data and high vulnerability of the right ventricle under influence of AH, the world's leading contemporary guidelines of the AH management, right ventricular remodeling, its morphology, function, evaluation, predictive and prognostic value are neither discussed nor mentioned. Hence, we strongly believe that further investigations are needed to determine the exact clinical utility and
