Impact of body mass index on left ventricular mass.
BACKGROUND Obesity is an independent factor implicated in left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and increased left ventricular mass. Early detection of increased LV mass in obese patients has prognostic and therapeutic implications. METHODS This case series was carried out in Choudhry Pervaiz Ellahi Institute of Cardiology, Multan from March to August 2011. A total of 100 consecutive patients inc...
متن کاملLeft ventricular mass and cardiothoracic index in patients with chronic renal disease on hemodialysis.
INTRODUCTION Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is an independent predictor of cardiovascular risk in patients with chronic renal disease (CRD) on hemodialysis (HD). OBJECTIVE To show the usefulness of chest radiography in the diagnosis of LVH in CRD patients on HD. METHODS Cross-sectional study including 100 patients (58 men and 42 women), mean age 46.2 ± 14.0 years, with CRD of all causes...
متن کاملDeterminants of left ventricular mass in patients on hemodialysis: Frequent Hemodialysis Network (FHN) Trials.
BACKGROUND An increase in left ventricular mass (LVM) is associated with mortality and cardiovascular morbidity in patients with end-stage renal disease. METHODS AND RESULTS The Frequent Hemodialysis Network (FHN) Daily Trial randomized 245 patients to 12 months of 6 times per week daily in-center hemodialysis or conventional hemodialysis; the FHN Nocturnal Trial randomized 87 patients to 12 ...
متن کاملLeft ventricular mass behaviour in hemodialysis patients during 17 years.
INTRODUCTION Ventricular hypertrophy is frequent in dialysis patients and is associated with an ominous prognosis. It is not knowledge if this ventricular change is growing or decreasing in hemodialysis patients. OBJECTIVE To assess left ventricular hypertrophy behaviour during 17 years in patients of a university dialysis center, as well as to verify the possible causes of this behavior. M...
متن کاملLeft ventricular hypertrophy evaluation in obese hypertensive patients: effect of left ventricular mass index criteria.
PURPOSE To evaluate left ventricular mass (LVM) index in hypertensive and normotensive obese individuals. METHODS Using M mode echocardiography, 544 essential hypertensive and 106 normotensive patients were evaluated, and LVM was indexed for body surface area (LVM/BSA) and for height2 (LVM/h2). The 2 indexes were then compared in both populations, in subgroups stratified according to body mas...
