Hypertension, aortic stenosis, and aortic regurgitation [PDF]
The prevalence of hypertension (1) and of valvular aortic stenosis (2) increase with age, and both hypertension (3,4) and valvular aortic stenosis (5) cause left ventricular hypertrophy. Both hypertension (1,3) and valvular aortic stenosis (2,6) are also associated with an increased incidence of cardiovascular events and mortality. Hypertension (either
