Left ventricular contractile performance, ventriculoarterial coupling, and left ventricular efficiency in hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy.
Contractile performance of hypertrophied left ventricle may be depressed in arterial hypertension. Ventriculoarterial coupling is impaired when myocardial contractile performance is reduced and when afterload is increased. The left ventricular contractile performance and the ventriculoarterial coupling were evaluated in 30 hypertensive patients with moderate left ventricular hypertrophy and 20 ...
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...
متن کاملImpaired left ventricular functional reserve in hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy.
To determine whether patients with hypertension and especially those with left ventricular hypertrophy have subtle changes in cardiac function, we measured the increase in left ventricular ejection fraction and in systolic blood pressure to end-systolic volume index ratio with exercise in 40 hypertensive patients and 16 age-matched normotensive volunteers. Twenty-two hypertensive patients witho...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Hypertrophy Familial Predisposition of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy
METHODS Echocardiographic and anthropometric measurements were performed in 2,293 individuals who participated in the echocardiographic substudies of population-based MONICA Augsburg surveys. In addition, a total of 319 siblings of survey participants with echocardiographic evidence of LVH were evaluated. The risk of these siblings to present with LVH or abnormal LV geometry was estimated by co...
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...
