Impact of abdominal obesity and ambulatory blood pressure in the diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy in never treated hypertensives.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The principal objective was to assess the prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in hypertensive, never treated patients, depending on adjustment for body surface or height. Secondary objectives were to determine geometric alterations of the left ventricle and to analyze the interdependence of hypertension and obesity to induce LVH. PATIENTS AND METHODS Cro...
متن کاملLeft ventricular remodeling and renal function in never-treated essential hypertension.
In the general population, renal function linearly declines with age; hypertension may accelerate this decline. Because concentric left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy is a strong marker of the severity of hypertension, the influence of LV geometry on the age-associated decline in renal function was assessed in 195 normotensive subjects and 645 patients with never-treated essential hypertension wi...
متن کاملRelationship between left ventricular geometric pattern and systolic and diastolic function in treated Nigerian hypertensives
INTRODUCTION Despite a high worldwide prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy among black patients, the association of a specific left ventricular geometric pattern with left ventricular dysfunction is rare. The aim of this study was to explore the possibility of such an association in Nigerian hypertensives. METHODS This was a retrospective study consisting of 188 treated hypertensives. E...
متن کاملRelationship between left ventricular mass and endothelium-dependent vasodilation in never-treated hypertensive patients.
BACKGROUND Hypertensive patients are characterized by development of both left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and endothelial dysfunction METHODS AND RESULTS We enrolled 65 never-treated hypertensive patients (36 men and 29 women aged 45.6+/-6.0 years) to assess the possible relationship between echocardiographic left ventricular mass (LVM) and endothelium-dependent vasodilation. Left ventricu...
متن کاملEvaluation of left ventricular diastolic function in hypertensives
Background: Recently much of attention is focused on the diastolic function of the heart. Since the systolic performance of the heart in hypertensive patients has been examined so far, but the study of the diastolic function of heart has emerged as a newer mode of study. Aim: To study non-invasively the diastolic function of left ventricle in patients with systemic hypertension. Materials and m...
