Detection of hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy.
The risk of adverse cardiovascular events is higher in persons with electrocardiographic evidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, and the decision to treat patients with antihypertensive drugs is often determined by the presence of hypertrophy. In this study a number of electrocardiographic criteria for detection of left ventricular hypertrophy were applied to a population of 85 hypertensive s...
متن کاملCorrelation between echocardiographic left ventricular mass index and electrocardiographic variables used in left ventricular hypertrophy criteria in Chinese hypertensive patients.
INTRODUCTION We investigated the association between echocardiographic (Echo) left ventricular mass (LVM) indexed to body surface area (LVM/BSA) or height(2.7) (LVM/H(2.7)) and electrocardiographic (ECG) variables in 546 Chinese hypertensives. METHODS The study group was stratified by gender and by BMI into obese (BMI > or =28 kg/m(2)), overweight (BMI > or =24 kg/m(2) and BMI <28 kg/m(2)), a...
متن کاملBlood pressure control and left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertensive Nigerians.
BACKGROUND Hypertension is a disease characterized by end-organ complications, leading to high morbidity and mortality in many cases. People with untreated or uncontrolled hypertension often run the risk of developing complications directly associated with the disease. Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) has been shown to be a significant risk factor for adverse outcomes both in patients with hy...
متن کاملDiltiazem and left ventricular hypertrophy in renovascular hypertensive rats.
The effects of diltiazem treatment (40-50 mg/kg/day orally for 8 weeks) of left ventricular hypertrophy on systemic and coronary hemodynamics and mechanical cardiac performance were investigated in renovascular hypertensive rats (Goldblatt, two-kidney, one clip). Systemic and coronary hemodynamics were determined by using radioactive microspheres in conscious, unrestrained rats. Mechanical perf...
متن کاملOldest-Old Mortality in China
We find that the Kannisto model, a two-parameter logistic formula, fits Han Chinese death rates at oldest-old ages better than the Gompertz and four other models. Chinese death rates appear to be roughly similar to Swedish and Japanese rates after age 97 for both males and females. Because reports of age seem to be serviceably reliable up to age 100 and perhaps age 105 in China, we think that t...
