Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Evaluation in Obese Hypertensive Patients: Effect of Left Ventricular Mass Index Criteria [PDF]

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2002
PURPOSE: To evaluate left ventricular mass (LVM) index in hypertensive and normotensive obese individuals. METHODS: Using M mode echocardiography, 544 essential hypertensive and 106 normotensive patients were evaluated, and LVM was indexed for body ...

Body mass index, type 2 diabetes, and left ventricular function [PDF]

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2018
A recent study found that among individuals with a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ 55%, global longitudinal strain was significantly lower in overweight patients (i.e., body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m2) with, but not in those without, type 2 ...

The relationship between adiponectin and left ventricular mass index varies with the risk of left ventricular hypertrophy.

PLoS ONE, 2013
BackgroundAdiponectin directly protects against cardiac remodeling. Despite this beneficial effect, most epidemiological studies have reported a negative relationship between adiponectin level and left ventricular mass index (LVMI).

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 ...

Probing Dry-Weight Improves Left Ventricular Mass Index [PDF]

American Journal of Nephrology, 2010
<i>Background:</i> Although probing dry-weight improves blood pressure control, its effect on echocardiographic left ventricular mass index (LVMI) is unknown. <i>Methods:</i> Shortly following dialysis, 292 echocardiograms in 150 patients participating in the DRIP trial were obtained at baseline and longitudinally every 4 weeks ...

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.

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.
