Hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy.

Acta cardiologica, 1996
In response to high blood pressure, left ventricular hypertrophy develops. But in hypertension, the myocardial hypertrophied structure is abnormal. The prevalence of this hypertrophy is influenced by age, gender, weight, race, genetics and the severity of high blood pressure.

Left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertension

American Heart Journal, 1991
Major advances in left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and hypertension have occurred in recent years. The ability to diagnose LVH has been improved by echocardiography, and with this technique it has been shown that evidence of LVH is an important independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease.

Hypertension and Left-Ventricular Hypertrophy

Cardiology Clinics, 1995
Left-ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), the primary cardiac manifestation of hypertension, has been identified as the most powerful risk factor for future cardiovascular events causing morbidity and mortality, such as myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, sudden death, and so forth.

Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Athletes

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1997
Left ventricular wall thickness >1.3 cm, septal-to-posterior wall ratios > 1.5, diastolic left ventricular size >6.0 cm, and eccentric or concentric remodeling are rare in athletes. Values outside of these cutoffs in an athlete of any age probably represent a pathologic state.

Left Ventricular Hypertrophy

Postgraduate Medicine, 1968
The electrocardiogram or vectorcardiogram often indicates features compatible with left ventricular hypertrophy in persons who do not have the condition. Increased QRS voltage, increased QRS duration, and ST-T changes in an isolated electrocardiogram or vectorcardiogram may mislead the physician, but serial records noting progressive changes ...

Left Ventricular Hypertrophy and Arterial Hypertrophy

1997
In the most recent WHO recommendations of 1996 it was reiterated that the classification of HT still remains based on the actual BP figures but also on the importance of target organ lesions. Thus the study of cardiac and vascular function and in particular the presence of hypertrophy or remodeling is of importance.

Left ventricular hypertrophy

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 1999
The presence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) as a treatable entity is of particular importance in patients with primary hypertension. Because LVH is associated with a strong risk of adverse clinical events (eg, heart failure, ischemic events, and cardiovascular death) and because evidence from retrospective studies suggests that regression of LVH,

Genes for left ventricular hypertrophy

Current Hypertension Reports, 2004
Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy is very common, particularly among hypertensives. The presence of LV hypertrophy profoundly affects morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular diseases and stroke, and is now recognized as the most important predictor of chronic heart failure.
