Left Ventricular Hypertrophy: Major Risk Factor in Patients with Hypertension: Update and Practical Clinical Applications

International Journal of Hypertension, 2011
Left ventricular hypertrophy is a maladaptive response to chronic pressure overload and an important risk factor for atrial fibrillation, diastolic heart failure, systolic heart failure, and sudden death in patients with hypertension.

Myocardial fibrosis as an early manifestation of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy [PDF]

, 2010
BACKGROUND: Myocardial fibrosis is a hallmark of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and a proposed substrate for arrhythmias and heart failure. In animal models, profibrotic genetic pathways are activated early, before hypertrophic remodeling.

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.

Association of obesity phenotypes with left ventricular mass index and left ventricular hypertrophy in children and adolescents

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
It has been argued that metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) does not increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether, in a population of obese children/adolescents, the metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO ...

Reduced mechanical efficiency in left-ventricular trabeculae of the spontaneously hypertensive rat. [PDF]

, 2014
Long-term systemic arterial hypertension, and its associated compensatory response of left-ventricular hypertrophy, is fatal. This disease leads to cardiac failure and culminates in death.
