Left ventricular mass and cardiovascular morbidity in essential hypertension: the MAVI study.
OBJECTIVES This study investigated the prognostic value of left ventricular (LV) mass at echocardiography in uncomplicated subjects with essential hypertension. BACKGROUND Only a few single-center studies support the prognostic value of LV mass in uncomplicated hypertension. METHODS The MAssa Ventricolare sinistra nell'Ipertensione study was a multicenter (45 centers) prospective study. The...
متن کاملUric acid, left ventricular mass index, and risk of cardiovascular disease in essential hypertension.
Elevated serum uric acid (UA) is frequently encountered in individuals with hypertension, but whether the relationship between UA and cardiovascular events is circumstantial or causal remains to be answered. We examined the association between serum UA and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and investigated prospectively whether the combination of UA and LVMI can predict the incidence of cardio...
متن کاملLeft ventricular mass and geometry in essential hypertension.
BACKGROUND It is unclear whether insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) are independent determinants of left ventricular (LV) mass in essential hypertension. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 101 never-treated nondiabetic subjects with essential hypertension. All had 24-hour noninvasive ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) monitoring and a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test. We determined fas...
متن کاملArterial pressure, left ventricular mass, and aldosterone in essential hypertension.
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the relationship of aldosterone to blood pressure and left ventricular size in black American (n=109) and white French Canadian (n=73) patients with essential hypertension. Measurements were obtained with patients off antihypertensive medications and included 24-hour blood pressure monitoring, plasma renin activity and aldosterone, and an echocar...
متن کاملCorrelation between Left Ventricular Mass Index and Calcium Metabolism in Patients with Essential Hypertension.
OBJECTIVE To determine the correlation between left ventricular mass index and calcium metabolism in patients with essential hypertension. STUDY DESIGN Cross sectional case-control study. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-seven patients with essential hypertension and 20 healthy individuals were compared with respect to calciotropic hormones, left ventricular mass index (LVMI), and urinary and se...
