چکیده

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 age of 38.5 years were randomly selected. left ventricular mass index (lvmi) was calculated before and after renal transplantation at the beginning, and at 4, 6 and 8 months. the means of lvmi before and after transplantation were 180±19.3 g/m2 and 133.8±16.8 g/m2 respectively (p<0.00l ). the means of regression after transplantation at 0,4,6 and 8 months of follow up were 1919/m2, 157.3 g/m2, 147.8 g/ m2 and 138.8 g/m2 respectively. there was a significant difference between the means of hemoglobin concentration and blood pressure before and after transplantation (p<0.00l). for instance the means of hemoglobin concentration and blood pressure was 7.2±0.4 and 13.1±0.7 g/dl, 154±6 / 97±4.4, and 135±6.3/ 89±3.8 mmhg respectively. this study showed that maximum left ventricular hypertrophy regression occurred 4 months after transplantation, then decreased to a minimum level of 147.8 and 135.8 g/m2 at 6 and 8 months after transplantation respectively. restoration of hemoglobin concentration and blood pressure to normal levels may be recognized as a main cause of left ventricular hypertrophy regression.

Renal denervation and regression of left ventricular hypertrophy.

Effective blood pressure (BP) control in hypertensive patients is still a missed objective, leading to an unacceptably high rate of cardiovascular events. This is particularly true in the case of resistant hypertension. Among the 53 530 stable hypertensive patients with subclinical or established atherothrombotic disease enrolled in the international Reduction of Atherothrombosis for Continued ...

Renal transplantation is not associated with regression of left ventricular hypertrophy: a magnetic resonance study.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Patients with end-stage renal failure (ESRD) have an increased risk of premature cardiovascular (CV) disease. Left ventricular hypertrophy is an independent risk factor for CV events and death in ESRD. Renal transplantation has been associated with reduction in CV risk and echocardiographic regression of left ventricular hypertrophy. However, echocardiography overestim...

Improvement of diastolic function after regression of left ventricular hypertrophy.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the diastolic function after regression of left ventricular hypertrophy, in mild to moderate hypertension treated with angiotensin converting enzyme(ACE) inhibitor and, if necessary, with a diuretic. METHODS Ninety-eight hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and abnormal left ventricle diastolic function indexes received captopril (Capotena) 50 to...

Regression of left ventricular hypertrophy after conversion to nocturnal hemodialysis.

BACKGROUND Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is an independent risk factor for mortality in the dialysis population. LVH has been attributed to several factors, including hypertension, excess extracellular fluid (ECF) volume, anemia and uremia. Nocturnal hemodialysis is a novel renal replacement therapy that appears to improve blood pressure control. METHODS This observational cohort study a...

Regression of cellular hypertrophy after left ventricular assist device support.

BACKGROUND Although multiple studies have shown that the left ventricular assist device (LVAD) improves distorted cardiac geometry, the pathological mechanisms of the "reverse remodeling" of the heart are unknown. Our goal was to determine the effects of LVAD support on cardiac myocyte size and shape. METHODS AND RESULTS Isolated myocytes were obtained at cardiac transplantation from 30 faili...
