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 ...

Left Atrial Size and Left Ventricular Mass Index in Hypertensive Patients
Annals of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine, 2017 Background: This study was conducted with the objective of evaluation of the occurrence of left atrial enlargement (LAE) in hypertensive patients and its relationship with left ventricular mass index (LVMI).Methods: This single centre study was carried out at the Manmohan Cardiothoracic Vascular and Transplant Center, where total of 99 patients with ...

Effect of Parathyroidectomy on Left Ventricular Mass Index in Patients With Primary Hyperparathyroidism. [PDF]
Cureus, 2023 Aim Primary hyperthyroidism (PHPT) is known to affect left ventricular structure and function and may contribute to increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Whether parathyroidectomy (PTX) reverses left ventricular hypertrophy/remodeling among PHPT patients remains controversial.

Impact of Body Mass Index on Left Ventricular Function [PDF]
Medical Journal Armed Forces India, 2009 Obesity is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. A direct effect of isolated obesity on cardiac function is not well established. The study was designed to determine the direct effect of various grades of isolated obesity on echocardiographic indices of systolic and diastolic left ventricular function.Fifty one obese and 25 ...

Geographic variation in left ventricular mass and mass index: a systematic review [PDF]
Journal of Human Hypertension, 2011 Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy, defined as an abnormal increase in LV mass (LVM), is an important prognostic indicator and therapeutic target. LVM is often divided by body surface area to derive indexed mass; however, this does not correctly identify pathological LV hypertrophy in all people, especially when body composition is altered, or in ...

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 ...
