Left Ventricular Hypertrophy and Arterial Hypertrophy
1997In the most recent WHO recommendations of 1996 it was reiterated that the classification of HT still remains based on the actual BP figures but also on the importance of target organ lesions. Thus the study of cardiac and vascular function and in particular the presence of hypertrophy or remodeling is of importance.

Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Athletes
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1997Left ventricular wall thickness >1.3 cm, septal-to-posterior wall ratios > 1.5, diastolic left ventricular size >6.0 cm, and eccentric or concentric remodeling are rare in athletes. Values outside of these cutoffs in an athlete of any age probably represent a pathologic state.

Regression of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy
Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 1992Since our first studies on hypertrophy regression, this parameter has achieved an increasing interest in the treatment of hypertension. During the past 8 years we studied different groups of antihypertensive drugs with the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This article discusses the antihypertensive drug carvedilol.

Hypertension and Left-Ventricular Hypertrophy
Cardiology Clinics, 1995Left-ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), the primary cardiac manifestation of hypertension, has been identified as the most powerful risk factor for future cardiovascular events causing morbidity and mortality, such as myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, sudden death, and so forth.

Left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertension
American Heart Journal, 1991Major advances in left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and hypertension have occurred in recent years. The ability to diagnose LVH has been improved by echocardiography, and with this technique it has been shown that evidence of LVH is an important independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease.

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a fundamental component of cardiac adaptation to disorders which alter left ventricular pressure, volume or contractility on a chronic basis. In pressure and volume overload, the LVH response is, initially, quantitatively matched to the increase in hemodynamic load, so that each unit of myocardium performs under ...

Genes for left ventricular hypertrophy
Current Hypertension Reports, 2004Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy is very common, particularly among hypertensives. The presence of LV hypertrophy profoundly affects morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular diseases and stroke, and is now recognized as the most important predictor of chronic heart failure.

Left ventricular diverticulum with hypertrophy of the left ventricular apex
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1992A surgical case of diverticulum in the left ventricular apex is presented. A two-dimensional echocardiogram and magnetic resonance image showed a calcified tumor buried in the marked hypertrophied apex of the left ventricle. Enucleation of the oval and hard tumor (4 x 2.5 x 2.5 cm) was performed through the apex, and the defect was anastomosed by ...

Management of the patient with left ventricular hypertrophy
European Heart Journal, 1993The management of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) presupposes that the patient is identified by echocardiography and is carefully evaluated for risk stratification, taking into consideration possible associated complications. The role of non-pharmacological treatment is limited, except in obese patients.
