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.

Massive Left Ventricular Hypertrophy With Acromegaly

, 2023
Acromegaly—a rare endocrine disorder—results when a growth hormone–secreting somatotroph pituitary adenoma leads to increased insulin-like growth factor 1 production. Acromegaly is known to cause left ventricular hypertrophy.

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.

Obese subjects show sex-specific differences in right ventricular hypertrophy [PDF]

, 2015
As right ventricular (RV) remodeling in obesity remains underinvestigated, and the impact of left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction on RV hypertrophy is unknown, we aimed to investigate whether (1) sex-specific patterns of RV remodeling exist in ...
