The relation between carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) and LV remodeling/dysfunction is confounded by the effect of blood pressure (BP). We evaluated the relationship between cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI), a less BP-dependent measure of ...

Correlation between 24-hour profile of blood pressure and ventricular arrhythmias and their prognostic significance in patients with arterial hypertension [PDF]
Background/Aim. Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), apart from arterial hypertension, is a risk factor for electrophysiologic heart condition disorder and sudden cardiac death.

Quantitative analysis of cardiac left ventricular variables obtained by MRI at 3 T : a pre- and post-contrast comparison [PDF]
Short-axis cine images are acquired during cardiac MRI in order to determine variables of cardiac left ventricular (LV) function such as ejection fraction (EF), end-diastolic volume (EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV), stroke volume (SV) and LV mass.

Prediction of Left Ventricular Mass Index Using Electrocardiography in Essential Hypertension - A Multiple Linear Regression Model. [PDF]
Some electrocardiographic indexes such as Cornell index, Cornell product index, or Sokolow-Lyon index remain to be used in the clinical setting. We assessed the effects of body mass index (BMI) on the correlations between these ECG indexes and left ventricular mass (LVM).One hundred ninety-six outpatients who underwent both ECG and echocardiography on ...

INAPPROPRIATE LEFT VENTRICULAR MASS, IN CHILDREN WITH PREDYALITIC CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY [PDF]
Background: Increased left ventricular (LV) mass in children with chronic renal insufficiency (CRI) might represent an adaptive mechanism to compensate for increased workload.

Incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy in children with kidney disease: impact of method of indexation of left ventricular mass [PDF]
Patients with chronic kidney disease are at high risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Increased left ventricular mass (LVM) has been shown to be an adverse prognostic factor. LVM may be indexed for body size by different methods related to height, weight, or body surface area (BSA).

Body Mass Index, Left Ventricular Mass Index and Cardiovascular Events in Chronic Kidney Disease [PDF]
Obesity and left ventricular hypertrophy are prevalent in chronic kidney disease (CKD), but the association of body mass index (BMI) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) with cardiovascular outcomes in patients with CKD is unclear. This study was designed to assess whether the combination of BMI and LVMI is independently associated with ...
