From Left Ventricular Hypertrophy to Dysfunction and Failure.
Circulation Journal, 2016 Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is growth in left ventricular mass caused by increased cardiomyocyte size. LVH can be a physiological adaptation to strenuous physical exercise, as in athletes, or it can be a pathological condition, which is either ...

Left ventricular hypertrophy in renal failure [PDF]
Kidney International, 1998 In patients with terminal renal failure, left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is extremely common. It is found in approximately 60 to 80% of patients starting renal replacement therapy. The main causes of LVH are increased preload from hypervolemia and increased afterload from increased peripheral resistance, giving rise to a mixture of eccentric and ...

VALIDITY OF ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHIC VOLTAGE CRITERIA: HOW USEFUL ARE THEY IN ATHLETES? [PDF]
The Medical Journal of Basrah University, 2005 Electrocardiographic (ECG) criteria for left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy have been almost exclusively elaborated and calibrated in general population. Because several differences in ECG characteristics have been found in athletes, the applicability of ...

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 1991 Long-lasting cardiac overload in man as well as in experimental animals leads to an increase in heart weight (or better: heart weight/body weight ratio). Cardiac hypertrophy can result from increased physiologic activity (“physiologic hypertrophy”) or from disease states (“pathologic hypertrophy”).
