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 ...

Baseline Neuroinflammation Stratifies TSPO‐PET Response to Disease‐Modifying Therapy in Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate which baseline clinical and imaging characteristics best predict TSPO‐PET‐measurable reduction in glial activation following treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS), to utilize this information for designing more efficient biomarker‐based clinical trials targeting glial activation.

Increased Plasma Homocysteine Levels Are Associated with Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Hypertensive Patients with Normal Renal Function

Kidney & Blood Pressure Research, 2023
Introduction: Renal function has an important bearing on plasma homocysteine levels. Plasma homocysteine is related to left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH).

EFFECT OF BODY MASS INDEX ON LEFT VENTRICULAR MASS

Journal of Al-Nahrain University Science, 2010
Background: Increased left ventricular mass (LVM) as determined by 2-dimensioned M-mode echocardiography is a predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between LVM and body mass index (BMI) categories in cross section study.

Anticoagulation Treatment Response Among Phenotypic ESUS Clusters: Evidence From CASPR

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate treatment effect heterogeneity across phenotypic clusters of patients with cryptogenic embolic stroke using causal inference methods. Methods From a retrospective, multicenter cohort of patients with cryptogenic embolic stroke, we estimated the treatment effect of anticoagulation versus antiplatelet therapy in patients ...

Glucagon‐Like Peptide‐1 Receptor Agonists in Multiple Sclerosis: A Topical Narrative Review

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) receptor agonists (RAs) are a relatively new class of drugs that were initially approved by the US Food and Drug Administration to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and, subsequently, weight reduction in patients with obesity.

Effects of weight loss after sleeve gastrectomy on left ventricular myocardial work in obese patients

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
BackgroundObesity is a global epidemic and a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is an effective bariatric surgery, but its effect on cardiac functions remains unclear.

Assessment of left ventricular geometrical patterns and function among hypertensive patients at a tertiary hospital, Northern Tanzania

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2012
Background With hypertension, the cardiovascular system changes to adapt to the varying neuro-humoral and hemodynamic changes and this may lead to the development of different left ventricular geometric patterns, each carrying a different risk profile ...
