Prediction of Mortality Risk by Different Methods of Indexation for Left Ventricular Mass

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 1997
We sought to compare the predictive value of echocardiographically determined left ventricular hypertrophy on death from all causes and cardiac mortality using various methods of indexation for left ventricular mass.Considerable controversy exists regarding the optimal method for indexing left ventricular mass to body size in the clinical setting.The ...

Body Mass Index, Left Ventricular Mass Index and Cardiovascular Events in Chronic Kidney Disease [PDF]

The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 2016
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 ...

Correlation Between Left Ventricular Electromechanical Delay and Body Mass Index

European Heart Journal Supplements, 2021
Abstract Aim To evaluate effect of body mass index on left ventricle electromechanical delay among adults with no history of cardiac disease. Obesity is a complex disorder involving an excessive amount of body fat. Being extremely obese increases the risk of diseases and health problems, such as heart

Development of a personalized visualization and analysis tool to improve clinical care in complex multisystem diseases with application to scleroderma

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Background In complex diseases, it is challenging to assess a patient's disease state, trajectory, treatment exposures, and risk of multiple outcomes simultaneously, efficiently and at the point of care. Methods We developed an interactive patient‐level data visualization and analysis tool (VAT) that automates illustration of a scleroderma patient's ...

Prognostic Impact of the Indexation of Left Ventricular Mass in Patients Undergoing Dialysis [PDF]

Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2001
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is exceedingly frequent in patients undergoing dialysis. Cardiac mass is proportional to body size, but the influence of various indexing methods has not been studied in patients with end-stage renal disease. The issue is important because malnutrition and volume expansion would both tend to distort the estimate of LV
