Left Ventricular Hypertrophy [PDF]
JAMA, 2004 AN INCREASE IN THE MASS OF LEFT VENTRICULAR muscle is intimately associated with most chronic diseases of the heart. Classically, left ventricular hypertrophy, which represents an extreme increase in left ventricular mass, has been thought to represent a reaction to pressure or volume overload.

Left ventricular hypertrophy [PDF]
BMJ, 1995 Left ventricular hypertrophy is often assumed to be little more than a marker for hypertension. In fact, the relation between diastolic or systolic blood pressure and left ventricular mass is not always close.1 2 Left ventricular hypertrophy is an independent risk factor for myocardial infarction and death in men and women with hypertension3 4 and in ...

LEFT VENTRICULAR HYPERTROPHY; HAEMODIALYSIS PATIENTS
The Professional Medical Journal, 2015 Cardiovascular system diseases are playing the outstanding role in the cause ofmorbidity and mortality in dialysis patients. Left ventricular hypertrophy is one of the universalstructural abnormalities in patients on regular dialysis. Objective: The target of the study wasto search out the frequency of left ventricular hypertrophy in end stage renal ...

Left Ventricular Hypertrophy and Hypertension
Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 1993 The level of left ventricular (LV) mass as measured by echocardiography or other techniques in hypertensive patients reflects the integrated effects of the level of arterial pressure, the concomitant volume load imposed on the heart, and of alterations in arterial waveform morphology as well as of body size and non-hemodynamic variables.

Echocardiographic Evaluation of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy
Journal of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography & Cardiovascular ImagingLeft ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) can occur as a result of increase in the left ventricular (LV) wall thickness or increase in the LV cavity size, thus leading to increase in the LV mass. Strength training and aerobic exercise lead to physiological LVH,
