Magnesium and Left Ventricular Hypertrophy

Magnesium and left ventricular hypertrophy.

agnesium (Mg) is involved in many important enzymatic processes, electrolyte balance, and skeletal metabolism. Clinically, Mg plays an important role in the regulation of vascular tone and heart rhythm, prevention of thrombosis, atherosclerosis, insulin resistance, arrhythmia, and osteoporosis, suppression of inflammation, etc (Figure).1–3 Furthermore, hypermagnesemia inhibits parathyroid hormo...

echocardiographic 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...

Left 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...

Left ventricular hypertrophy.

Left Ventricular Hypertrophy

The vectorcardiographic diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy, using the Frank lead system, was evaluated in 93 autopsied male patients (70 with hypertrophy of the left ventricle and 23 without such hypertrophy). The criterion of the maximal QRS magnitude in the transverse plane greater than 2.2 mv below the age of 50 years and 1.8 mv at the age of 50 or more was positive in 61% of hypertro...
