Left Ventricular Mass Index in Children With White Coat Hypertension [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Pediatrics, 2008
To determine whether children with white coat hypertension (WCH) have evidence of target-organ damage by comparing the left ventricular mass index (LVMI) of subjects with WCH with that of matched normotensive and hypertensive controls.Each subject in the WCH group was matched by body mass index (BMI; +/- 10%), age (+/- 1 year), and sex to a ...

The association of ankle brachial index with left ventricular hypertrophy and left ventricular mass index: the Dong-gu study

Vasa, 2013
Background: To investigate the association between ankle-brachial index (ABI), left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) in a general population. Patients and methods: The study population consisted of 8,246 people aged 50 years and older who participated in the baseline survey of the Dong-gu Study conducted in Korea ...

Ambulatory Blood Pressure and Left Ventricular Mass Index in Hypertensive Children [PDF]

open access: yesHypertension, 2002
To determine whether ambulatory blood pressure is more predictive of left ventricular hypertrophy than is casual blood pressure in hypertensive children, echocardiography and ambulatory blood pressure data from 37 untreated hypertensive children were analyzed.

Blood pressure and left ventricular mass index in healthy adolescents

Blood Pressure Monitoring, 2017
Primary hypertension among children and adolescents is increasing in prevalence and has been associated with the sequela of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), defined by increased left ventricular mass index (LVMI). The association between high blood pressure (BP) and LVMI in an otherwise healthy pediatric population is not well understood.

Prevalence and determinants of left ventricular hypertrophy in acromegaly: impact of different methods of indexing left ventricular mass

Clinical Endocrinology, 2004
Summarybackground  Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is the most common cardiac abnormality in acromegaly. Left ventricular mass (LVM) is an important parameter measured to detect LVH, but the relationship with body size should be considered by correcting LVM to body surface area (BSA), height or height2·7.

Relationship of Systolic Blood Pressure and Body Mass Index With Left Ventricular Mass and Mass Index in Adolescents

Angiology, 2015
Prevalence of hypertension (HT) is growing among children and adolescents. Its diagnosis is commonly ignored as it does not produce any end-organ damage in adolescents. We evaluated whether the blood pressure (BP) and confounding factors were related to myocardial mass increase; an earlier representative of HT; among adolescents.

Indexation of left ventricular mass in adults with a novel approximation for fat-free mass

Journal of Hypertension, 2001
Indexation to fat-free mass (FFM) seems to be the best option for adjusting left ventricular (LV) mass. However, measurements of FFM are frequently not available.To define the relation of FFM with commonly available anthropometric measures in order to derive an approximation formula of FFM that can be used for valid indexation of LV mass.A total of 1 ...

Blood Pressure Measurements and Left Ventricular Mass Index in Hemodialysis Patients

Artificial Organs, 2012
AbstractLeft ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is the most frequent cardiac abnormality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. It is related to cardiovascular diseases and is an important risk factor for mortality in HD patients. Arterial hypertension is an established risk factor for LVH in HD patients.

Age-Specific Reference Intervals for Indexed Left Ventricular Mass in Children

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 2009
In older children, one of the standards for indexing left ventricular mass (LVM) is height raised to an exponential power of 2.7. The purpose of this study was to establish a normal value for the pediatric age group and to determine how, if at all, LVM/height(2.7) varies in children.M-mode echocardiography was performed in 2,273 nonobese, healthy ...
