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,

Gender differences in cardiac left ventricular mass and function: clinical and experimental observations [PDF]

, 2014
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate gender-associated impact on left ventricular mass (LVM) and on left ventricular function (LVF) in humans and rats with aging. Methods: Myocyte area and collagen volume fraction (CVF) were studied in rats.

Left ventricular hypertrophy in renal failure [PDF]

Kidney International, 1998
In patients with terminal renal failure, left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is extremely common. It is found in approximately 60 to 80% of patients starting renal replacement therapy. The main causes of LVH are increased preload from hypervolemia and increased afterload from increased peripheral resistance, giving rise to a mixture of eccentric and ...

Left ventricular hypertrophy diagnosed after a stroke: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2018
Background Stroke is a recognized clinical course of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This interesting case showed notable difference on the electrocardiogram of a patient 4 months prior to suffering a stroke and 10 days after suffering a stroke.
