Detection of hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy.
The risk of adverse cardiovascular events is higher in persons with electrocardiographic evidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, and the decision to treat patients with antihypertensive drugs is often determined by the presence of hypertrophy. In this study a number of electrocardiographic criteria for detection of left ventricular hypertrophy were applied to a population of 85 hypertensive s...
متن کاملDetection of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy?
E lectrocardiographic (ECG) methods of detecting left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) have played an important role in the understanding of clinical heart disease. It has long been recognized that the risk of developing coronary heart disease or complications of hypertension is higher in individuals with LVH detected by ECG than in otherwise comparable subjects with normal ECGs.1,2 Early trials o...

متن کاملReversal of left ventricular hypertrophy by propranolol in hypertensive rats.
BACKGROUND Hypertension contributes significantly to the development of left ventricular hypertrophy. Left ventricular hypertrophy is associated with increased incidence of sudden cardiac death. Recognition and management of hypertension is, therefore, imperative. OBJECTIVE To establish whether propranolol can reverse left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertensive rats. METHODS Hypertension w...
متن کاملDevelopment of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Treated Hypertensive Outpatients
Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy (LVH) is a marker of target organ damage in hypertension and helps stratifying cardiovascular risk. The effect of LVH on incident cardiovascular events is independent of conventional risk factors and of coronary artery disease. In selected subsets of nondiabetic patients, LVH also precedes new onset of diabetes mellitus, suggesting that hypertensive target orga...
