الإجابة: D. Left ventricular hypertrophy
An ECG is part of the routine work-up of hypertension to look for target-organ damage, and the cardiac target-organ effect of chronic HTN is left ventricular hypertrophy (raised afterload causes concentric LVH). She has no chest pain or other features suggesting acute ischaemia, pericarditis or mitral prolapse.

A
ليش غلط
Hypertension accelerates atherosclerosis and raises the incidence of CAD over time, but the characteristic cardiac effect of high afterload that the ECG looks for is concentric LVH.

D
ليش صح
Increased systemic vascular resistance (afterload) in hypertension causes concentric left ventricular hypertrophy, which the ECG in the work-up looks for as target-organ damage.
