Differentiation of left ventricular deformation using 2D speckle tracking based on left ventricular geometric pattern in a hypertensive population: a single-center study

Arterial Hypertension
BACKGROUND: Left ventricular (LV) adaptation to arterial hypertension can result in different geometric responses with different hemodynamic patterns.

Left Ventricular Mass and Geometry and the Risk of Ischemic Stroke [PDF]

Stroke, 2003
Background and Purpose— Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a risk factor for cardiovascular events, but its effect on ischemic stroke risk is established mainly in whites. The effect of LV geometry on stroke risk has not been defined. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether LVH and LV

Serum Zinc and Selenium Concentrations in Patients with Hypertrophy and Remodelling of the Left Ventricle Secondary to Arterial Hypertension

Antioxidants, 2021
The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between serum selenium and zinc concentrations (Se-S and Zn-S) and the left ventricle geometry in patients suffering from arterial hypertension. A total of 78 people with arterial hypertension (mean age:

Left Ventricular Geometry in Children and Adolescents With Primary Hypertension [PDF]

American Journal of Hypertension, 2010
Children with hypertension (HTN) are at increased risk for left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Increased left ventricular (LV) mass (LVM) by the process of remodeling in response to volume or pressure loading may be eccentric (increased LV diameter) or concentric (increased wall thickness).

Echocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy and geometry in Chinese chronic hemodialysis patients: the prevalence and determinants

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2022
Background To investigate the prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and explore left ventricular geometry in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, and to explore the risk factors of LVH which is an important predictor of cardiovascular ...

Left ventricular geometry and endogenous ouabain in a Flemish population [PDF]

Journal of Hypertension, 2009
Endogenous ouabain, an endogenous digitalis-like steroid, is synthesized in the adrenal glands and possibly in the hypothalamus. In vitro and in vivo, endogenous ouabain triggers growth and proliferation of cardiomyocytes.We therefore investigated the association between left ventricular structure and function and plasma endogenous ouabain in a general

White Matter and Perivascular Imaging Changes in Alzheimer's Disease and Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Peak‐width of skeletonized mean diffusivity (PSMD) and diffusion tensor imaging–analysis along the perivascular space (DTI‐ALPS), reflecting white matter integrity and glymphatic function, are altered in Alzheimer's disease (AD).

INAPPROPRIATE LEFT VENTRICULAR MASS, IN CHILDREN WITH PREDYALITIC CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY [PDF]

, 2008
Background: Increased left ventricular (LV) mass in children with chronic renal insufficiency (CRI) might represent an adaptive mechanism to compensate for increased workload.
