Left ventricular hypertrophy in emphysema [PDF]

open access: yesThorax, 1974
Edwards, C. W. (1973) . Thorax , 29 , 75-80. Left ventricular hypertrophy in emphysema . The role of systemic hypertension in 10 emphysematous subjects with left ventricular hypertrophy was investigated. The medial thickness of the internal mammary artery was used as a parameter of raised systemic blood pressure during life.

Sickle Cell Diastolic Cardiomyopathy and Mortality Risk: A Novel Echocardiographic Framework for Prognostic Stratification

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cardiovascular complications are the leading cause of mortality in sickle cell anemia (SCA) patients. While extensive data have identified diastolic dysfunction (DD) to increase morbidity and mortality, the unique hemodynamic conditions inherent to SCA challenge the current recommendations to assess diastolic function. Thus, there is an urgent

ASSESSMENT OF LEFT VENTRICULAR HYPERTROPHY IN PATIENTS WITH ESSENTIAL ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION IN A GENERAL PRACTICE

open access: yesZdravniški Vestnik, 2004
Background. The heart is a target organ in arterial hypertension. Echocardiography is the most valuable noninvasive method to assess the left ventricular hypertrophy.

Comparison of Electrocardiographic Criteria for Identifying Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Athletes from Different Sports Modalities

open access: yesClinics
OBJECTIVES: In athletes, isolated electrocardiogram high voltage criteria are widely used to evaluate left ventricular hypertrophy, but positive findings are thought to represent normal electrocardiogram alterations.

Truncating Variants in RREB1 Cause a Novel RASopathy Syndrome of Congenital Heart Disease, Genitourinary Malformations, and Developmental Delay

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The interstitial 6p microdeletion syndrome is characterized by dysmorphic facies and structural heart, kidney, brain, and musculoskeletal differences. RREB1 haploinsufficiency and consequent abnormal RAS‐MAPK pathway signaling have been proposed as a driver of the disease phenotype; however, apart from a single case report, the phenotype of ...

Diagnostic value of R wave in aVL lead in left ventricular hypertrophy

open access: yesUniversidad Médica Pinareña, 2020
Introduction: left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is defined as the increase in the thickness of the wall or the interventricular septal portion (or both). This entity represents an important risk factor that is related to the increase in mortality.

Time spent with cats is never wasted: Lessons learned from feline acromegalic cardiomyopathy, a naturally occurring animal model of the human disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
BackgroundIn humans, acromegaly due to a pituitary somatotrophic adenoma is a recognized cause of increased left ventricular (LV) mass. Acromegalic cardiomyopathy is incompletely understood, and represents a major cause of morbidity and mortality.
