Left ventricular hypertrophy: why does it happen?
Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have much higher rates of cardiovascular disease than the healthy population. Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), in particular, is common in this patient group. The impact of a decline in haemoglobin concentration on left ventricular mass index has been well documented. Partial correction of anaemia with recombinant human erythropoietin (epoetin) tr...
متن کاملRegeneration in the metazoans: why does it happen?
Why does regeneration occur? And why, when it manifests itself, does it do so in some but not all metazoan species? Hence, what are the permissive or inhibitory factors operating behind this phenomenon? When it comes to regeneration, many questions, such as these, remain unanswered. In fact, the problem of animal regeneration has withstood the probing of scientific inquiry for over 250 years an...
متن کاملLeft ventricular hypertrophy: is it really?
Background Patients with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), typically assessed by 2D echocardiography, are at a greater risk for heart failure and sudden cardiac death. An accurate diagnosis of LVH is essential to clinical evaluation and treatment. However, 2D echo has inferior spatial resolution and less than optimal measurement positioning, relative to cardiac MRI. This “real-world” study, b...
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 کاملAASK why is left ventricular hypertrophy so deleterious?
H ypertension, kidney disease, and enlarged hearts have been intertwined since Richard Bright's observations in the early 19th century. 1 In recent decades, a sequence of epidemiological surveys have revealed that the black population is disproportionately burdened by hypertension, left ventricu-lar hypertrophy (LVH), and chronic progressive renal disease progressing to death, stroke, heart fai...
