Uricaemia and left ventricular mass in hypertensive patients

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2014
AbstractBackgroundBoth hyperuricaemia and left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy are associated with the metabolic syndrome and increased cardiovascular risk. The relationship between uric acid levels and left ventricular mass in hypertension, however, is unclear.

Beyond left ventricular mass: the prognostic power of left ventricular shape

Heart, 2016
In recent years, our knowledge about the mechanisms leading to acute and chronic changes in cardiac morphology and function has been progressively expanding. Nowadays, human studies on cardiac remodelling mostly rely on a variety of non-invasive, rapidly evolving imaging techniques.

Left Ventricular Mass in Diabetes-Hypertension

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1992
This study was undertaken to identify whether diabetes mellitus (DM) accelerates the development of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in hypertensive patients.Cardiac structure, systolic function, and hemodynamics were evaluated by two-dimensional M-mode echocardiography in diabetic and nondiabetic patients with essential hypertension.Patients with ...

Effects of Nifedipine-GITS on Left Ventricular Mass and Left Ventricular Filling

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 1992
Sixteen patients with initial diastolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 120 mm Hg were treated for 1 year with extended-release nifedipine [nifedipine-GITS (gastrointestinal therapeutic system)]. Serial changes in left ventricular mass index and associated alterations in left ventricular systolic function, left ventricular filling, plasma renin

Prevalence of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy and Determinants of Left Ventricular Mass in Obese Women

High Blood Pressure & Cardiovascular Prevention, 2012
Obesity is frequently associated with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), a condition leading to an increased cardiovascular risk.The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of LVH in a cohort of obese women, with a main focus on the anthropometric and clinical parameters that are associated with an increased left ventricular mass (LVM ...

Rilmenidine in Patients with Left Ventricular Hypertrophy

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 1995
It is generally accepted that the development of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) represents a multifactorial phenomenon that also involves neurohormonal mechanisms. This finding may account for the ability of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors to induce faster and more complete reversal of LVH than that observed with other antihypertensive ...

Left Ventricular Mass as a Predictor of Development of Hypertension

American Journal of Hypertension, 1991
The mass of left ventricular (LV) muscle plays a central role in hypertension. Echocardiographic LV mass has been shown to reflect the level of blood pressure over time, obesity, diet, and other factors, and to serve as the strongest predictor yet discovered, other than advancing age, of cardiac complications of hypertension.

Left ventricular mass in HIV-infected patients

Revista Clínica Española (English Edition), 2013
The HIV infection has been associated with an increased incidence of vascular events. Left ventricular mass (LVM) is independently associated with greater overall mortality. Various studies have shown that patients with HIV infection have higher LVM than the uninfected population.

Heritability of Left Ventricular Mass

Hypertension, 1997
Abstract Left ventricular hypertrophy is associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular disease. The known determinants of left ventricular hypertrophy only partially explain its variability. The purpose of this study was to estimate heritability of left ventricular mass.

Left Ventricular Papillary Muscle Mass

Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography, 2006
To evaluate the effect of papillary muscle mass on the calculation of left ventricular (LV) function and mass and to determine the relationship between papillary muscle mass with body size and sex.Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging examinations from 50 men and 50 women were randomly selected from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis database.
