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 ...

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.

Echocardiographic Evaluation of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy

Journal of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography & Cardiovascular Imaging
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) can occur as a result of increase in the left ventricular (LV) wall thickness or increase in the LV cavity size, thus leading to increase in the LV mass. Strength training and aerobic exercise lead to physiological LVH,
