Relation between cardiac sympathetic activity and hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy.
BACKGROUND Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in hypertensive subjects. Sympathetic activation has been suggested to contribute to LV hypertrophy, but this has not yet been conclusively validated in humans. METHODS AND RESULTS We comprehensively assessed total systemic and regional sympathetic activity by radiotracer dilu...
متن کاملThe Relation between Left Ventricular Function and Serum Ferritin in Major Β-Thalassemia
Abstract Objective Cardiac dysfunction is a major cause of death in patients with beta thalassemia. In these patients, repeated blood transfusion, ineffective erythropoiesis and increased gastrointestinal iron absorption lead to iron overload in the body and this induced heart failure. Left ventricular ejection fraction was measured in major beta thalassemia (β-Th) patients to detect the rela...
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...
متن کاملImportance of the TIMI frame count: implications for future trials
Although the TIMI (Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction) flow grade classification scheme is widely used to assess angiographic outcomes, it is limited by poor reproducibility and its categoric nature. The corrected TIMI frame count (CTFC) is a simple, more objective continuous variable index of coronary blood flow that can be broadly and inexpensively applied. This measure of the time for dye...
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...
