Left ventricular hypertrophy in athletes [PDF]
Participation in regular intensive exercise is associated with a modest increase in left ventricular wall thickness (LVWT) and cavity size. The magnitude of these physiological changes is predominantly determined by a variety of demographic factors which include age, gender, size, ethnicity, and sporting discipline.

FGF23 induces left ventricular hypertrophy.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a public health epidemic that increases risk of death due to cardiovascular disease. Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is an important mechanism of cardiovascular disease in individuals with CKD.

Abstract Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients may have cardiac remodeling and dysfunction from the early stage of disease. This study aimed to determine the association between cystatin C (CysC) and early cardiac functional or structural impairment in T2DM patients without renal dysfunction.

Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Fabry's Disease in an Old Male Patient [PDF]
Fabry disease is an X-linked disorder due to deficiency of the lysosomal hydrolasea-galactosidase A and the resultant accumulation of glycosphingolipids throughout the body, such as in the heart.

Abstract Background As previously reported, impairment of left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) is associated with myocardial fibrosis, arrhythmias, and heart failure in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients. Hypothesis This study aimed to estimate the association between LVGLS measured by echocardiography and major adverse ...

Left ventricular mass in male adolescent athletes and non-athletes
Background Systematic exercise leads to increased left ventricular mass, which may be misleading in a differential diagnosis of heart disease in athletes (physiologic hypertrophy versus pathologic hypertrophy).

Left ventricular hypertrophy [PDF]
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 and diastolic function in children and adolescents with essential hypertension [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Left ventricular hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction in children and adolescents with essential hypertension tend to be underdiagnosed. The aims of this study were to investigate left ventricular hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction in ...
