Regression of left ventricular hypertrophy: should we echo echo?
I n the current issue, the study of Pierdomenico et al.1 showed that regression of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) after two year’s antihypertensive treatment was accompanied by a reduced risk of cardiovascular events independently of the ambulatory blood pressure during treatment. This further supports the value of using LVH regression as a surrogate end-point for morbid events in hypertens...
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 کاملDevelopment and regression of left ventricular hypertrophy.
Left ventricular hypertrophy is an important adaptive response to chronic pressure or volume overload of the left ventricle. The different types and the pathophysiologic mechanisms of the development of left ventricular hypertrophy in various disease states are reviewed. Detection of left ventricular hypertrophy may be accomplished by electrocardiography and cardiac angiography. Echocardiograph...
متن کاملLeft ventricular hypertrophy in aortic stenosis: is 2-D echo reliable?
Background Progressive pressure overload to the left ventricle, which occurs with aortic stenosis(AS), is a known stimulus to left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). However, assessment of LV wall thickness with 2-D echo has failed to show a useful correlation with severity of AS. The absence of a relationship may be due to inherent limitations in 2-D echo assessment of LV wall thickness and aortic...
متن کاملGender differences in left ventricular hypertrophy regression.
Gender Differences in Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Regression To the Editor: We read with interest the article of Os et al1 about the effects of losartan in women with hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy from the Losartan Intervention For Endpoint reduction in hypertension (LIFE) Study. The main finding in this posthoc analysis was that, compared with atenolol-based treatment, losarta...
