Progression of Hypertrophy and Myocardial Fibrosis in Aortic Stenosis: A Multicenter Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Study [PDF]
, 2018 Background: Aortic stenosis is accompanied by progressive left ventricular hypertrophy and fibrosis. We investigated the natural history of these processes in asymptomatic patients and their potential reversal post-aortic valve replacement (AVR ...

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 ...

Exploring Associations Between Cardiac Structure and Retinal Vascular Geometry
Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020 Background Retinal arteriolar narrowing and venular widening has been widely suggested to be associated with subclinical changes in cardiac structure.

Hypertension and sudden death disparate effects of calcium entry blocker and diuretic therapy on cardiac dysrhythmias [PDF]
, 1989 This study was designed to evaluate the impact of antihypertensive therapy on cardiac dysrhythmias in 13 hypertensive patients who received calcium entry blockers and in 10 hypertensive patients who received hydrochlorothiazide.

Greater body mass index is a better predictor of subclinical cardiac damage at long-term follow-up in men than is insulin sensitivity:a prospective, population-based cohort study [PDF]
, 2015 To examine whether lower insulin sensitivity as determined by homeostatic model assessment (HOMA-%S) was associated with increased left ventricular mass (LVM) and presence of LV diastolic dysfunction at long-term follow-up, independently of body mass ...

Do patients with suspected heart failure and preserved left ventricular systolic function suffer from "diastolic heart failure" or from misdiagnosis? A prospective descriptive study [PDF]
, 2000 OBJECTIVES: To characterise the clinical features of patients with suspected heart failure but preserved left ventricular systolic function to determine if they have other potential causes for their symptoms rather than being diagnosed with 'diastolic ...

Effect of Body Mass Index on Left Ventricular Mass in Career Male Firefighters
The American Journal of Cardiology, 2016 Left ventricular (LV) mass is a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events; increased LV mass is common among US firefighters and plays a major role in firefighter sudden cardiac death. We aim to identify significant predictors of LV mass among firefighters.

Echocardiographic definition of left ventricular hypertrophy in the hypertensive: which method of indexation of left ventricular mass? [PDF]
Journal of Human Hypertension, 1999 It has been suggested that hypertensives at high risk of cardiovascular complications can be identified on the basis of their left ventricular mass as determined echographically. However, there is as yet a lack of consensus on the mode of indexation (body surface area, height, height 2.7) of left ventricular mass (LVM), and on the cut-off values for ...
