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.

Relative Importance of Aortic Stiffness and Volume as Predictors of Treatment-Induced Improvement in Left Ventricular Mass Index in Dialysis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
This study aimed to explore the relative contribution of aortic stiffness and volume in treatment-induced change of left ventricular mass in dialysis. Hypertension in Hemodialysis Patients Treated with Atenolol or Lisinopril trial compared the effect of ...

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.

Comparison of electrocardiographic versus echocardiographic detection of left ventricular mass changes over time and evaluation of new onset left ventricular hypertrophy

The Journal of Clinical Hypertension, 2023
We assessed the value of 3 electrocardiographic (EKG) voltage criteria in detecting variations of left ventricular mass (LVM) over time, taking echocardiographic (ECHO) LVM as reference, in the Pressioni Arteriose Monitorate E Loro Associazioni study. In

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.

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.

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
