Determinants of left ventricular mass in obesity; a cardiovascular magnetic resonance study [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, 2009
Background Obesity is linked to increased left ventricular mass, an independent predictor of mortality. As a result of this, understanding the determinants of left ventricular mass in the setting of obesity has both therapeutic and prognostic ...

Aortic calcification and femoral bone density are independently associated with left ventricular mass in patients with chronic kidney disease. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BackgroundVascular calcification and reduced bone density are prevalent in chronic kidney disease and linked to increased cardiovascular risk. The mechanism is unknown. We assessed the relationship between vascular calcification, femoral bone density and

Left ventricular mass: Myxoma or thrombus?

Annals of Cardiac Anaesthesia, 2015
Patient with embolic episode should always be evaluated for cardiac mass. Mass in left ventricular can be a myxoma or thrombus even in a normal functioning heart . In either case, mobile mass with embolic potential should be surgically resected.

Assessment of left ventricular geometrical patterns and function among hypertensive patients at a tertiary hospital, Northern Tanzania [PDF]

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2012
Background With hypertension, the cardiovascular system changes to adapt to the varying neuro-humoral and hemodynamic changes and this may lead to the development of different left ventricular geometric patterns, each carrying a different risk profile ...

Longitudinal lipidomic profiles of left ventricular mass and left ventricular hypertrophy in American Indians [PDF]

JCI Insight
BACKGROUND Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and dyslipidemia are strong, independent predictors for cardiovascular disease, but their relationship is less well studied.

Left Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm Perceived as a Left Lung Mass

Çukurova Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Dergisi, 2013
Left ventricular pseudo-aneurysm is a rare complication of aneurysmectomy. We present a case of surgically-treated left ventricular pseudo-aneurysm which was diagnosed three years after coronary artery bypass grafting and left ventricular aneurysmectomy.

Unusual Left Ventricular Mass [PDF]

Circulation, 1998
A20-year-old man, previously asymptomatic, showed an incidental finding at echocardiography of a left ventricular mass. In the Figure⇓, A is a two-dimensional echocardiogram in the apical four-chamber view showing a round mass (arrow), scarcely mobile, attached to the left ventricular …
