Left Ventricular Hypertrophy and Hypertension
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.

Self-supervised contrastive learning of echocardiogram videos enables label-efficient cardiac disease diagnosis [PDF]
Advances in self-supervised learning (SSL) have shown that self-supervised pretraining on medical imaging data can provide a strong initialization for downstream supervised classification and segmentation. Given the difficulty of obtaining expert labels for medical image recognition tasks, such an "in-domain" SSL initialization is often desirable due ...

Overweight and sudden death increased ventricular ectopy in cardiopathy of obesity [PDF]
besity has been documented to be an independent risk factor for sudden death and other cardiovascular mortality. The present study was designed to monitor and quantify cardiac arrhythmias in obese subjects with and without eccentric left ventricular ...

Skin Sodium Concentration Correlates with Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in CKD.
The pathogenesis of left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with CKD is incompletely understood. Sodium intake, which is usually assessed by measuring urinary sodium excretion, has been inconsistently linked with left ventricular hypertrophy.

47 male patients were included in this study: the group of 17 adolescents with puberty-onset obesity (aged 19,7±0,37 years), the group of 20 adults with puberty-onset obesity (aged 32,25±0,96 years), 10 gender-matched controls (aged 20,8±0,25 years). All

FGF23 and Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Children with CKD.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES High plasma concentration of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a risk factor for left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in adults with CKD, and induces myocardial hypertrophy in experimental CKD. We hypothesized that high FGF23

FGF23/FGFR4-mediated left ventricular hypertrophy is reversible
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 23 is a phosphaturic hormone that directly targets cardiac myocytes via FGF receptor (FGFR) 4 thereby inducing hypertrophic myocyte growth and the development of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in rodents.

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 ...

Intensive Hemodialysis, Left Ventricular Hypertrophy, and Cardiovascular Disease.
The prevalence of cardiovascular disease, including cardiac arrhythmia, coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, and valvular heart disease, is higher in hemodialysis (HD) patients than in the US resident population. Cardiovascular disease is the leading
