Echocardiography-based left ventricular mass estimation. How should we define hypertrophy?
Left ventricular hypertrophy is an important risk factor in cardiovascular disease and echocardiography has been widely used for diagnosis. Although an adequate methodologic standardization exists currently, differences in measurement and interpreting data is present in most of the older clinical studies. Variability in border limits criteria, left ventricular mass formulas, body size indexing ...

متن کاملRegression of left ventricular hypertrophy: should we echo echo?
I n the current issue, the study of Pierdomenico et al.1 showed that regression of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) after two year’s antihypertensive treatment was accompanied by a reduced risk of cardiovascular events independently of the ambulatory blood pressure during treatment. This further supports the value of using LVH regression as a surrogate end-point for morbid events in hypertens...
متن کاملCanine left ventricular mass estimation by two-dimensional echocardiography.
This study was designed to develop a two-dimensional echocardiographic method of measuring the mass of the left ventricle. The general formula for an ellipse was used to derive an algorithm that described the shell volume of concentric truncated ellipsoids. In 10 canine left ventricular two-dimensional echocardiograms, this algorithm accurately predicted postmortem left ventricular mass (r = .9...
متن کاملechocardiographic assessment of inappropriate left ventricular mass and left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with diastolic dysfunction
background: early diagnosis of left ventricular mass (lvm) inappropriateness and left ventricular hypertrophy (lvh) can result in preventing diastolic left ventricular dysfunction and its related morbidity and mortality. this study was performed to determine if diastolic dysfunction is associated with lvh and inappropriate lvm. methods: one hundred and twenty five uncomplicated hypertensi...
