Echocardiographic findings in young adults with primary hypertension: A scoping review protocol.

ABSTRACT: Echocardiography is the primary imaging tool for evaluating cardiac structure and function in patients with primary hypertension. A significant limitation of the current literature is that most studies focus on older adults, leaving a significant gap in understanding the cardiac effects of primary hypertension in young adults. This scoping review protocol aims to assess conventional echocardiographic parameters, left ventricular geometric patterns, and advanced echocardiographic findings for the early detection of cardiac changes in young adults aged 18-39 with primary hypertension. A systematic literature search will be conducted across the MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane Central databases. This involves systematically reviewing existing literature to outline the rep
