Hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy. [PDF]
Annals of Translational Medicine, 2017 Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is an abnormal increase in left ventricular mass. which is a marker for and contributes to coronary events, stroke, heart failure, peripheral arterial disease, and cardiovascular mortality in patients with hypertension (1-12).

Left ventricular hypertrophy: is it really? [PDF]
Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, 2013 Background Patients with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), typically assessed by 2D echocardiography, are at a greater risk for heart failure and sudden cardiac death. An accurate diagnosis of LVH is essential to clinical evaluation and treatment. However, 2D echo has inferior spatial resolution and less than optimal measurement positioning, relative

Left ventricular hypertrophy in athletes [PDF]
European Journal of Echocardiography, 2009 Participation in regular intensive exercise is associated with a modest increase in left ventricular wall thickness (LVWT) and cavity size. The magnitude of these physiological changes is predominantly determined by a variety of demographic factors which include age, gender, size, ethnicity, and sporting discipline.

Acute complete heart block in dogs [PDF]
, 1955 A study has been conducted immediately and up to 18 days after the surgical production of complete heart block in dogs. Immediately after surgery cardiac output, coronary flow, and mean arterial pressure were reduced in rough proportion to the degree of ...

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 ...

Overweight and sudden death increased ventricular ectopy in cardiopathy of obesity [PDF]
, 1987 besity has been documented to be an independent risk factor for sudden death and other cardiovascular mortality. The present study was designed to monitor and quantify cardiac arrhythmias in obese subjects with and without eccentric left ventricular ...

Left Ventricular Hypertrophy and Hypertension
Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 1993 The level of left ventricular (LV) mass as measured by echocardiography or other techniques in hypertensive patients reflects the integrated effects of the level of arterial pressure, the concomitant volume load imposed on the heart, and of alterations in arterial waveform morphology as well as of body size and non-hemodynamic variables.
