Normal reference ranges for the left ventricular mass and left ventricular mass index in preterm infants

Annals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2020
Objective :The objective of this study is to establish normal reference ranges for the left ventricular mass (LVM) and LVM index (LVMI) in preterm infants according to the body surface area (BSA) and assess their correlation with body weight and ...

Body Fat Distribution, Overweight, and Cardiac Structures in School‐Age Children: A Population‐Based Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Adiposity is associated with larger left ventricular mass in children and adults. The role of body fat distribution in these associations is not clear.

Cardiac left ventricular myocardial tissue density, evaluated by computed tomography and autopsy

BMC Medical Imaging, 2019
Background Left ventricular mass (LVM) is an independent risk factor for the prediction of cardiac events. Its assessment is a clinically important diagnostic procedure in cardiology and may be performed by Computed Tomography (CT). The aim of this study

The cardiovascular risk of young women with polycystic ovary syndrome: an observational, analytical, prospective case-control study [PDF]

, 2004
To evaluate the cardiovascular risk of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), we investigated lipid profile, metabolic pattern, and echocardiography in 30 young women with PCOS and 30 healthy age- and body mass index (BMI)-matched women. PCOS women had higher

Effect of Empagliflozin on Left Ventricular Mass in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes and Coronary Artery Disease: The EMPA-HEART CardioLink-6 Randomized Clinical Trial.

Circulation, 2019
BACKGROUND Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors lower cardiovascular events in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) but whether they promote direct cardiac effects remains unknown.

Association of Blood Pressure Level With Left Ventricular Mass in Adolescents.

HYPERTENSION, 2019
Hypertension is associated with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), a risk factor for cardiovascular events. Since cardiovascular events in youth are rare, hypertension has historically been defined by the 95th percentile of the normal blood pressure (BP)

Electrocardiographic (ECG) criteria for determining left ventricular mass in young healthy men; data from the LARGE Heart study [PDF]

, 2009
Background: Doubts remain over the use of the ECG in identifying those with increased left ventricular (LV) mass. This is especially so in young individuals, despite their high prevalence of ECG criteria for LV hypertrophy.

Left Ventricular Mass Change After Anthracycline Chemotherapy

Circulation: Heart Failure, 2018
Background: Myocardial atrophy and left ventricular (LV) mass reductions are associated with fatigue and exercise intolerance. The relationships between the receipt of anthracycline-based chemotherapy (Anth-bC) and changes in LV mass and heart failure ...

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 ...
