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.

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

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 ...

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 ...

Allometric scaling for left ventricular mass and geometry in male and female athletes of mixed and endurance sports [PDF]

Echo Research and Practice
Background The athlete’s heart (AH) defines the phenotypical changes that occur in response to chronic exercise training. Echocardiographic assessment of the AH is used to calculate LV mass (LVM) and determine chamber geometry.

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.

Association Between AGT M235T and Left Ventricular Mass in Vietnamese Patients Diagnosed With Essential Hypertension

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Background: Increasing left ventricular mass in hypertensive patients is an independent prognostic marker for adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Genetic factors have been shown to critically affect left ventricular mass.
