Asymptomatic Obese Hypertensives and Need of Routine Echocardiography for Left Ventricular Mass Assessment and Treatment [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2013
Background: Echocardiographic determination of Left Ventricle Mass (LVM) – an important marker of cardiovascular disease, has been given a lot of importance in clinical diagnosis and in planning of treatment.

Clinical Value of Complex Echocardiographic Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Classification Based on Concentricity, Mass, and Volume Quantification

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Echocardiography is the most validated, non-invasive and used approach to assess left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Alternative methods, specifically magnetic resonance imaging, provide high cost and practical challenges in large scale clinical ...

Correlation between 24-hour profile of blood pressure and ventricular arrhythmias and their prognostic significance in patients with arterial hypertension [PDF]

, 2008
Background/Aim. Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), apart from arterial hypertension, is a risk factor for electrophysiologic heart condition disorder and sudden cardiac death.

An unusual left ventricular apical mass

Journal of Cardiovascular Echography, 2014
Left ventricular apical masses constitute a rare finding. Imaging properties together with the clinical history of the patient usually allow an etiologic definition. We report a challenging case of an ambiguous left ventricular apical mass of uncertain nature till histological examination.

Effect of Sleep Apnea and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure on Cardiac Structure and Recurrence of Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Sleep apnea (SA) is associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). We sought to determine the effect of SA on cardiac structure in patients with AF, whether therapy for SA was associated with beneficial cardiac structural ...

Infarct tissue characterization in implantable cardioverter-defibrillator recipients for primary versus secondary prevention following myocardial infarction: a study with contrast-enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging [PDF]

, 2012
Knowledge about potential differences in infarct tissue characteristics between patients with prior life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia versus patients receiving prophylactic implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) might help to improve the ...

Electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy predicts atrial fibrillation independent of left ventricular mass [PDF]

Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, 2016
Although left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) detected by electrocardiography (ECG-LVH) and echocardiography (echo-LVH) independently predict cardiovascular disease events, it is unclear if ECG-LVH and echo-LVH independently predict atrial fibrillation (AF).This analysis included 4,904 participants (40% male; 85% white) from the Cardiovascular Health ...

Left ventricular mass is underestimated in overweight children because of incorrect body size variable chosen for normalization.

PLoS ONE, 2019
BackgroundLeft ventricular mass normalization for body size is recommended, but a question remains: what is the best body size variable for this normalization-body surface area, height or lean body mass computed based on a predictive equation? Since body

Gender differences in cardiac left ventricular mass and function: clinical and experimental observations [PDF]

, 2014
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate gender-associated impact on left ventricular mass (LVM) and on left ventricular function (LVF) in humans and rats with aging. Methods: Myocyte area and collagen volume fraction (CVF) were studied in rats.

Evaluation of Left Ventricular Trabeculae in Patients with Hypertension Using Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging

CT Lilun yu yingyong yanjiu
Objective: To explore the feasibility of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for evaluating the complexity of the left ventricular trabeculae in patients with hypertension, analyze the relationship between MRI characteristics and left ventricular ...
