Probing dry-weight improves left ventricular mass index.
BACKGROUND Although probing dry-weight improves blood pressure control, its effect on echocardiographic left ventricular mass index (LVMI) is unknown. METHODS Shortly following dialysis, 292 echocardiograms in 150 patients participating in the DRIP trial were obtained at baseline and longitudinally every 4 weeks on 2 occasions. RESULTS At baseline, LVMI was 136.3 g/m(2) in the control group...
متن کاملImpact of body mass index on left ventricular mass.
BACKGROUND Obesity is an independent factor implicated in left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and increased left ventricular mass. Early detection of increased LV mass in obese patients has prognostic and therapeutic implications. METHODS This case series was carried out in Choudhry Pervaiz Ellahi Institute of Cardiology, Multan from March to August 2011. A total of 100 consecutive patients inc...
متن کاملLeft 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 کاملLeft ventricular hypertrophy evaluation in obese hypertensive patients: effect of left ventricular mass index criteria.
PURPOSE To evaluate left ventricular mass (LVM) index in hypertensive and normotensive obese individuals. METHODS Using M mode echocardiography, 544 essential hypertensive and 106 normotensive patients were evaluated, and LVM was indexed for body surface area (LVM/BSA) and for height2 (LVM/h2). The 2 indexes were then compared in both populations, in subgroups stratified according to body mas...
متن کاملBody mass index, type 2 diabetes, and left ventricular function
A recent study found that among individuals with a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ 55%, global longitudinal strain was significantly lower in overweight patients (i.e., body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m2) with, but not in those without, type 2 diabetes mellitus. These results contrast previous observations of body mass index as a significant predictor of incident diastolic dysfunction an...
