Assessment of left ventricular geometrical patterns and function among hypertensive patients at a tertiary hospital, Northern Tanzania [PDF]
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 ...

The impact of decreased SIRT1 levels on pediatric primary hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy: a case-control study [PDF]
Background Decreased SIRT1 exhibits a correlation with a range of cardiovascular diseases. However, the changes in serum SIRT1 levels in pediatric primary hypertension have not been reported.

Left Ventricular Hypertrophy [PDF]
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.
