Left ventricular hypertrophy: pathogenesis, detection, and prognosis.
When the heart faces a hemodynamic burden, it can do the following to compensate: (1) use the FrankStarling mechanism to increase crossbridge formation; (2) augment muscle mass to bear the extra load; and (3) recruit neurohormonal mechanisms to increase contractility. The first mechanism is limited in its scope, and the third is deleterious as a chronic adjustment. Thus, increasing mass assumes...
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 کاملVentricular Hypertrophy
Background. Chronic cocaine abuse has been associated with a high prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in normotensive individuals at rest. This study was conducted to determine whether chronic cocaine abusers with LVH would manifest an exaggerated pressor response to treadmill exercise. Methods and Results. Forty-nine normotensive chronic cocaine abusers underwent Bruce protocol tr...
متن کاملREGRESSION OF LEFT VENTRICULAR HYPERTROPHY AFTER SUCCESSFUL RENAL TRANSPLANTATION AMONG UREMIC PATIENTS
Recognition of the natural history and responsible leading factors for regression of left ventricular hypertrophy after successful renal transplantation are very important. The aim of this study was to assess the regression of left ventricular hypertrophy after successful renal transplantation among uremic patients. In this study 27 uremic patients (18 males and 9 females) with an average a...
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...
