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.

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

Association of left ventricular mass with all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction and stroke. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: Our aim was to assess the association of left ventricular mass with mortality and nonfatal cardiovascular events. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Left ventricular mass was measured by echocardiography in 40138 adult patients (mean age 61.1 ...
