Left ventricular hypertrophy and hypertension

Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 2020
Hypertension (HTN) is a major modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality. The left ventricle (LV) is a primary target for HTN end-organ damage. In addition to being a marker of HTN, LV geometrical changes: concentric remodeling, concentric or eccentric LV hypertrophy (LVH) are major independent risk factors for not ...

Left Ventricular Hypertrophy and Arrhythmogenesis

Cardiac Electrophysiology Clinics, 2015
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) poses an independent risk of increased morbidity and mortality, including atrial arrhythmias, ventricular arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death. The most common causes of LVH are hypertension and valvular heart disease.

Regression of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 1992
Since our first studies on hypertrophy regression, this parameter has achieved an increasing interest in the treatment of hypertension. During the past 8 years we studied different groups of antihypertensive drugs with the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This article discusses the antihypertensive drug carvedilol.

Left ventricular diverticulum with hypertrophy of the left ventricular apex

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1992
A surgical case of diverticulum in the left ventricular apex is presented. A two-dimensional echocardiogram and magnetic resonance image showed a calcified tumor buried in the marked hypertrophied apex of the left ventricle. Enucleation of the oval and hard tumor (4 x 2.5 x 2.5 cm) was performed through the apex, and the defect was anastomosed by ...

Hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy

Journal of Hypertension
In the initial stage, left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is adaptive, but in time, it transforms to maladaptive LVH which is specific for the development of various phenotypes that cause heart failure, initially with preserved, but later with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction.

Ischaemia and left ventricular hypertrophy

European Heart Journal, 1993
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), diagnosed by ECG and echocardiography, is commonly associated with coronary heart disease. Hypertensive patients with LVH and myocardial ischaemia may be at particular risk. The prevalence of ischaemia in hypertensive LVH was addressed in THAMES (Tenormin in Hypertension and Myocardial Ischaemia Epidemiological ...

The Impact of Paricalcitol on Left Ventricular Hypertrophy

2011
Cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality are significantly higher in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Mineral metabolism disorders, such as hyperphosphatemia, hypocalcemia, and vitamin D deficiency, have been deeply associated not only with bone disease, but also with vascular calcification and CV disease.

Left Ventricular Hypertrophy

1985
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a fundamental component of cardiac adaptation to disorders which alter left ventricular pressure, volume or contractility on a chronic basis. In pressure and volume overload, the LVH response is, initially, quantitatively matched to the increase in hemodynamic load, so that each unit of myocardium performs under ...
