Left ventricular hypertrophy in renal failure [PDF]
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 ...

Left ventricular hypertrophy diagnosed after a stroke: a case report
Background Stroke is a recognized clinical course of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This interesting case showed notable difference on the electrocardiogram of a patient 4 months prior to suffering a stroke and 10 days after suffering a stroke.

VALIDITY OF ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHIC VOLTAGE CRITERIA: HOW USEFUL ARE THEY IN ATHLETES? [PDF]
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 ...

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”).

Association between noninvasive fibrosis markers and cardio-vascular organ damage among adults with hepatic steatosis [PDF]
Evidence suggests that advanced fibrosis, as determined by the noninvasive NAFLD fibrosis score (NFS), is a predictor of cardiovascular mortality in individuals with ultrasonography-diagnosed NAFLD. Whether the severity of histology (i.e., fibrosis stage)
