Circulating levels of perfluoroalkyl substances and left ventricular geometry of the heart in the elderly

Environment International, 2018
Aims: Some persistent organic pollutants (POPs) such as hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and some polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been shown to interfere with myocardial function and geometry.

Current Perspectives on Left Ventricular Geometry in Systemic Hypertension [PDF]

Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 2016
Hypertension (HTN) is a global health problem and a leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality. The hemodynamic overload from HTN causes left ventricular (LV) remodeling, which usually manifests as distinct alterations in LV geometry, such as concentric remodeling or concentric and eccentric LV hypertrophy (LVH).

Radiological Cardiothoracic Ratio as a Potential Marker of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Assessed by Echocardiography

Radiology Research and Practice, 2022
The aim of the study was to verify the usefulness of the radiological cardiothoracic ratio as a potential marker of left ventricular hypertrophy assessed by echocardiography. The study included 96 patients (mean age: 49.52 ± 9.64 years). Chest radiograph

Concentric left ventricular remodeling and aortic stiffness: a comparison of obesity and hypertension. [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Increased thoracic ascending aortic stiffness is thought to contribute to concentric left ventricular hypertrophy and increased mortality, a pattern seen in hypertension.

Distribution of cardiac geometric patterns on echocardiography in essential hypertension. Impact of two criteria of stratification

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2001
PURPOSE: To evaluate 2 left ventricular mass index (LVMI) normality criteria for the prevalence of left ventricular geometric patterns in a hypertensive population ( HT ) . METHODS: 544 essential hypertensive patients, were evaluated by echocardiography,

Left ventricular remodeling patterns in children with metabolic syndrome

One Health & Risk Management, 2020
Introduction. Pathological left ventricular (LV) remodelling in children with metabolic syndrome (MS) is associated with a significant increase in cardiometabolic risk. However, data regarding the prevalence of LV remodelling patterns in children with MS

A 4-Tiered Classification of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Based on Left Ventricular Geometry [PDF]

Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging, 2010
Background— Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is traditionally classified as concentric or eccentric, based on the ratio of LV wall thickness to chamber dimension. We propose a 4-tiered LVH classification based on LV concentricity 0.67 (mass/end-diastolic volume 0.

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.
