Aim. To study the features of the left ventricle remodeling and changes in its functional signs in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Materials and methods. In total, 2423 patients aged from 18 to 94 years (mean age – 57.9 ± 16.4 years), 51 % men,

Left ventricular geometry and periodontitis in patients with the metabolic syndrome [PDF]
The presence of periodontal disease (PD) in subjects affected by the metabolic syndrome (MetS) may affect their risk of developing cardiovascular disease. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the systemic impact of PD in MetS, by assessing measures of sub-clinical atherosclerosis and left ventricular mass and geometry.A total of 103

Left ventricular hypertrophy, geometric patterns and clinical correlates among treated hypertensive Nigerians [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Left ventricular hypertrophy can be due to various reasons including hypertension. It constitutes an increased cardiovascular risk . Various left ventricular geometric patterns occur in hypertension and may affect the cardiovascular risk ...

BACKGROUND:Reports have shown that normotensive offspring of hypertensive parents (OHP) are at increased risk of developing systemic hypertension (SH) and adverse cardiovascular events later in life. The pathological antecedents of this are thought to be

Background With hypertension, the cardiovascular system changes to adapt to the varying neuro-humoral and hemodynamic changes and this may lead to the development of different left ventricular geometric patterns, each carrying a different risk profile ...

Background: Hypertension remains as the major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy was shown to be associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Left ventricular radial function (Ejection fraction) tends to remain normal in hypertensive patients, particular attention should be given to longitudinal ...

Obese subjects show sex-specific differences in right ventricular hypertrophy [PDF]
As right ventricular (RV) remodeling in obesity remains underinvestigated, and the impact of left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction on RV hypertrophy is unknown, we aimed to investigate whether (1) sex-specific patterns of RV remodeling exist in ...
