conclusions in this study we showed that eft, measured by echocardiography is higher in subjects with ai when compared to healthy controls. epicardial fat thickness had the best independent correlation with ai in multiple logistic regression analysis. incidentaloma is also associated with increased left ventricular mass index and cimt. adrenal incidentaloma patients may show early cardiac chang...
Results One-hundred and eighty-eight (74.6%) patients showed no MIO in any segment, 56 (22%) had an heterogeneous distribution (52 with global heart T2*≥20 ms), and 8 (0.3%) showed an homogeneous MIO. Left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) dilatations were present in 113 (45%) and in 49 (19%) patients, respectively. LV dysfunction was present in the 18.0% of the cases while RV dysfunc...
OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to assess coronary flow reserve (CFR) before and after aortic valve replacement (AVR). BACKGROUND Coronary flow reserve is impaired under conditions of left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy. It is not known whether CFR improves with regression of LV hypertrophy in humans. METHODS We investigated 35 patients with pure aortic stenosis, LV hypertrophy and norm...
Primary aldosteronism is associated with increased left ventricular (LV) mass independently of blood pressure. Previous studies suggest that elevated aldosterone causes cardiac damage only in the presence of an inappropriate salt status. We examined the relevance of dietary salt intake on cardiac changes in patients with primary aldosteronism before and after treatment. Sixty-five patients with...
Diastolic heart failure (DHF) currently accounts for more than 50% of all heart failure patients. DHF is also referred to as heart failure with normal left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (HFNEF) to indicate that HFNEF could be a precursor of heart failure with reduced LVEF. Because of improved cardiac imaging and because of widespread clinical use of plasma levels of natriuretic peptides, d...
BACKGROUND Associations between left ventricular (LV) geometry and the insulin resistance syndrome have been found, mostly in small studies of middle-aged hypertensives. The purpose of this study was to elucidate these associations through the use of a large sample of elderly men. METHODS AND RESULTS We investigated 475 men (157 hypertensives) 71 years of age who were attending a population-b...
AIMS Left ventricular (LV) circumferential strain (Ecc) is a sensitive index of regional myocardial function. Currently, no studies have assessed its prognostic value in general population. We sought to investigate whether Ecc has a prognostic value for predicting incident heart failure (HF) and other major cardiovascular events in asymptomatic individuals without a history of previous cardiova...
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to examine whether a history of asthma from childhood is associated with left ventricular (LV) mass in adulthood. BACKGROUND Asthma has been related to various cardiovascular risk factors affecting LV hypertrophy. The authors saw a need for a prospective study to analyze the relationship between a history of asthma from childhood and markers of LV mass among asympt...
We investigated the influence of genetic predisposition to hypertension by studying the relation between insulin sensitivity and left ventricular (LV) mass and function in untreated lean and obese hypertensives. We selected 50 lean hypertensives with normotensive parents (negative family history of hypertension [F-]), 64 lean hypertensives with 1 or both parents hypertensive (positive family hi...
BACKGROUND Left ventricular (LV) mass varies in proportion to lean body mass (LBM) but is usually expressed relative to height or body surface area (BSA), each of which functions as a surrogate for LBM. The aims of this study were to characterize the adiposity-related biases associated with each of these scaling variables and to determine the impact of these biases on the diagnosis of LV hypert...
