DETERMINATION OF LEFT VENTRICULAR MASS BY COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY

Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography, 1982
Abstract The capability of computed tomographic scanning to provide measurements of left ventricular mass in vivo was explored and compared with postmortem values. The study group comprised 22 dogs weighing between 9 and 28 kg and included 5 dogs with left ventricular hypertrophy.

Isolated Left-Ventricular Apical Hypoplasia Presenting as a Left-Ventricular Mass on Echocardiography

Pediatric Cardiology, 2012
Left-ventricular apical hypoplasia is a rare entity. Although it has typical imaging features on cardiovascular magnetic resonance, recognizing this condition on echocardiography can be challenging. This report describes an asymptomatic pediatric patient who initially presented with a left-ventricular mass on echocardiography.

Left Ventricular Mass and Thickness

Heart Failure Clinics, 2019
Several left ventricular geometric patterns have been described both in healthy and pathologic hearts. Left ventricular mass, wall thickness, and the ratio of wall thickness to radius are important measures to characterize the spectrum of left ventricular geometry. For clinicians, an increase in left ventricular mass is the hallmark of left ventricular

Regression of Increased Left Ventricular Mass by Antihypertensives

Drugs, 1991
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is both a target organ response to chronic arterial hypertension and a disorder that may be responsible for cardiovascular events. Although an increase in ventricular wall thickness may initially be compensatory and decrease wall stress, numerous studies have indicated that LVH is associated with a reduction in ...

Echocardiography, hypertension, and left ventricular mass.

Health Psychology, 1988
The greater sensitivity of echocardiography than electrocardiography has revealed left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) to be present in 20% or more of patients with systemic hypertension, with the exact prevalence dependent both on how a population is selected and on the sex, race, and possibly age composition of its members.

Exercise, Hypertension, and Left Ventricular Mass

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1990
To the Editor.— The study by Kelemen et al 1 showing that exercise is equivalent to exercise plus drug therapy with either propranolol or diltiazem in controlling hypertension is interesting and important. Left ventricular mass increased in all three study groups without a change in diastolic function.
