Left Ventricular Relative Wall Thickness Versus Left Ventricular Mass Index in Non-Cardioembolic Stroke Patients
In non-cardioembolic stroke patients, the cardiac manifestations of high blood pressure are of particular interest. Emerging data suggest that echocardiographically determined left ventricular hypertrophy is independently associated with risk of ischemic stroke.The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the frequency of different patterns of left ventricular (LV) remodeling and hypertr...
متن کاملComparison between maximal left ventricular wall thickness and left ventricular mass in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular magnetic resonance enables accurate and reproducible assessment of left ventricular (LV) dimensions and function, free of geometric assumptions and limitations related to an inadequate acoustic window. In patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), LV mass (LVM) and maximal LV wall thickness (MLVWT) have prognostic significance. AIM To compare MLVWT and LVM in p...
متن کاملHypereosinophilic Cardiac Involvement Presenting With Left Ventricular Massive Thrombus and Cardioembolic Stroke: A Case Report
Introduction: It is well known that the tendency toward thrombosis is increased in cancer patients. The increase in cancer procoagulant and tissue factor levels, endothelial damage, and stasis due to compression are among the most accused causes of thrombosis in cancer patients. Hypereosinophilia is a rare condition that causes endothelial damage leading to thrombosis. <s...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Wall Thickness Determined
Left ventricula wall thickness (LVWT) was measured by ultrasound in 100 subjects without heart disease. The data on both diastolic (LVWT,) and systolic (LVWT,) thickness were related to sex, age, weight, height, heart volume (HV), and ECG voltage criteria. LVWT, was greater in men (P<0.01) but LVWT, was of the same magnitude in both sexes. In both sexes LVWT, and LVWT, increased with age (P<0.0...
متن کاملRelative Wall Thickness and the Risk for Ventricular Tachyarrhythmias in Patients With Left Ventricular Dysfunction.
BACKGROUND Relative wall thickness (RWT), defined as 2 times posterior wall thickness divided by the left ventricular (LV) diastolic diameter, is a measure of LV geometry and may be a marker for adverse events in patients with LV dysfunction. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between RWT and the risk for ventricular tachyarrhythmia (VA) in patients enrolled ...
