Concentric left ventricular remodeling and aortic stiffness: a comparison of obesity and hypertension. [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Increased thoracic ascending aortic stiffness is thought to contribute to concentric left ventricular hypertrophy and increased mortality, a pattern seen in hypertension.

A comparative study on echocardiographic evaluation of left ventricular mass and function in normotensive diabetic and non-diabetic patient

Asian Journal of Medical Sciences, 2021
Background: Cardiovascular complications account for the highest mortality in diabetic patients, mainly due to coronary artery disease and congestive heart failure.

Exposure to secondhand smoke is associated with increased left ventricular mass

, 2021
Introduction Chronic hypertension is associated with left ventricular hypertrophy. Recent evidence suggests that secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure is associated with chronic hypertension, so we sought to examine the relationship between secondhand smoke ...

Electrocardiographic (ECG) criteria for determining left ventricular mass in young healthy men; data from the LARGE Heart study [PDF]

, 2009
Background: Doubts remain over the use of the ECG in identifying those with increased left ventricular (LV) mass. This is especially so in young individuals, despite their high prevalence of ECG criteria for LV hypertrophy.

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

The Journal of Clinical Hypertension, 2013
Clinical implications of blood pressure variability (BPV) on subclinical organ damage in children are unknown. The authors sought to explore the potential utility of two newly derived BPV indices: weighted standard deviation (wBPSD) and real average variability (ARV), as well as two standard ambulatory blood pressure indices: average 24‐hour systolic ...

Aortic calcification and femoral bone density are independently associated with left ventricular mass in patients with chronic kidney disease [PDF]

, 2012
Background Vascular calcification and reduced bone density are prevalent in chronic kidney disease and linked to increased cardiovascular risk. The mechanism is unknown.

Measures of Left Ventricular Diastolic Function and Cardiorespiratory Fitness According to Glucose Metabolism Status: The Maastricht Study

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background This cross‐sectional study evaluated associations between structural and functional measures of left ventricular diastolic function and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in a well‐characterized population‐based cohort stratified according to ...

LEFT-VENTRICULAR MASS INDEX IN HYPERTENSIVE CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS

Pediatrics, 2008
OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to investigate differences in left-ventricular mass corrected for height2.7 (LVMI) in children and adolescents according to 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure (BP) levels. METHODS: A total of 67 consecutive children and adolescents aged 5 to 20 years were analyzed. Patients underwent 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring

Obese subjects show sex-specific differences in right ventricular hypertrophy [PDF]

, 2015
As right ventricular (RV) remodeling in obesity remains underinvestigated, and the impact of left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction on RV hypertrophy is unknown, we aimed to investigate whether (1) sex-specific patterns of RV remodeling exist in ...
