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 ...

Association between serum Mg2+ concentrations and cardiovascular organ damage in a cohort of adult subjects [PDF]
, 2020 Magnesium (Mg2+) levels are associated with insulin resistance, hypertension, atherosclerosis, and type 2 diabetes (T2DM). We evaluated the clinical utility of physiological Mg2+ in assessing subclinical cardiovascular organ damage including increased ...

Left Ventricular Mass Index in Children with White Coat Hypertension [PDF]
The Journal 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 ...

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

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 ...
