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 کاملRelationship between Obesity Decrease and Regression of Hypertensive Left Ventricular Hypertrophy
There is a well-known relationship between obesity and hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy. However, little is known about the relationship between obesity decrease and regression of hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy. The aim of the study is assessment of relationship between obesity decrease and regression of hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy. 73 patients with II-III stag...
متن کاملIndependent Influence of Overweight and Obesity on the Regression of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Hypertensive Patients
Left ventricular hypertrophy associated with systemic hypertension differs from left ventricular hypertrophy initiated by other pressure overload diseases. Its development depends not only of hemodynamics aspects but of biochemical factors. Many studies have demonstrated a close link between left ventricular hypertrophy and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. For that reason the idea of rev...
متن کاملRelation between cardiac sympathetic activity and hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy.
BACKGROUND Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in hypertensive subjects. Sympathetic activation has been suggested to contribute to LV hypertrophy, but this has not yet been conclusively validated in humans. METHODS AND RESULTS We comprehensively assessed total systemic and regional sympathetic activity by radiotracer dilu...
متن کاملBlood pressure control and left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertensive Nigerians.
BACKGROUND Hypertension is a disease characterized by end-organ complications, leading to high morbidity and mortality in many cases. People with untreated or uncontrolled hypertension often run the risk of developing complications directly associated with the disease. Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) has been shown to be a significant risk factor for adverse outcomes both in patients with hy...
