Assessment of left ventricular geometrical patterns and function among hypertensive patients at a tertiary hospital, Northern Tanzania [PDF]

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2012
Background With hypertension, the cardiovascular system changes to adapt to the varying neuro-humoral and hemodynamic changes and this may lead to the development of different left ventricular geometric patterns, each carrying a different risk profile ...

Left Ventricular Hypertrophy [PDF]

JAMA, 2004
AN INCREASE IN THE MASS OF LEFT VENTRICULAR muscle is intimately associated with most chronic diseases of the heart. Classically, left ventricular hypertrophy, which represents an extreme increase in left ventricular mass, has been thought to represent a reaction to pressure or volume overload.

Reversible Treatment of Pressure Overload‐Induced Left Ventricular Hypertrophy through Drd5 Nucleic Acid Delivery Mediated by Functional Polyaminoglycoside

Advanced Science, 2021
Left ventricular hypertrophy and fibrosis are major risk factors for heart failure, which require timely and effective treatment. Genetic therapy has been shown to ameliorate hypertrophic cardiac damage.

The burden, correlates and outcomes of left ventricular hypertrophy among young Africans with first ever stroke in Tanzania

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2021
Background Left ventricular hypertrophy is a pathophysiological response often due to chronic uncontrolled hypertension. Our primary aim was to investigate the magnitude, correlates and outcomes of left ventricular hypertrophy as a surrogate maker for ...

Left ventricular hypertrophy [PDF]

BMJ, 1995
Left ventricular hypertrophy is often assumed to be little more than a marker for hypertension. In fact, the relation between diastolic or systolic blood pressure and left ventricular mass is not always close.1 2 Left ventricular hypertrophy is an independent risk factor for myocardial infarction and death in men and women with hypertension3 4 and in ...

Specifics of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy and Characteristic of Phenotypic Variants in Patients with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Архивъ внутренней медицины, 2023
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is characterized by genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity which manifests in different variants of localization and extent of myocardial hypertrophy.Aim: to evaluate specifics of left ventricular hypertrophy, the prevalence and

Electrocardiographic (ECG) criteria for determining left ventricular mass in young healthy men; data from the LARGE Heart study [PDF]

, 2009
Background: Doubts remain over the use of the ECG in identifying those with increased left ventricular (LV) mass. This is especially so in young individuals, despite their high prevalence of ECG criteria for LV hypertrophy.
