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.

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.

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

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 ...

A new method for indexing left ventricular mass for differences in body size

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1994
Left ventricular (LV) mass is determined to a large extent by body size. This has created controversy regarding the optimal method of defining normal values in the clinical setting. Previous groups have advocated indexing LV mass for body surface area, lean body mass, or height, which is an obesity-independent measure of body size. This study describes

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 ...

Improved left ventricular mass index in children after renal transplantation

Pediatric Nephrology, 2008
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and it is prevalent in children with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and after renal transplantation (RTx) on cross-sectional studies. Our aim was to compare prospectively left ventricular mass index (LVMI) in children with ESRD, before and after RTx.

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.
