[Abstract] As the most important cause of various cardiovascular diseases, hypertension can cause a series of adaptive changes such as heart structure changes and coronary microcirculation disorders. Therefore, it is particularly important to evaluate the cardiac structure and function of hypertensive patients. Echocardiography is commonly used in clinical evaluation of cardiac structure and function, but cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has the advantages of better soft tissue resolution and multi-functional, multi-parameter imaging. CMR cine imaging, T2WI, perfusion imaging, early enhancement and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) T1 mapping before and after enhancement sequences can be used to comprehensive assessment of hypertensive heart disease (HHD). By summarizing these techniques, this paper conductes quantitative and qualitative analysis on left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), myocardial fibrosis, reduced systolic and diastolic function, and coronary microcirculation disturbance caused by hypertension, which is of great significance for guiding clinical decision-making and improving patient prognosis, and is expected to provide reference direction for future research.
