Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is an abnormal thickening of the left ventricular myocardium that occurs as an adaptive mechanism to increased afterload. The left ventricular myocytes ...

Background Left ventricular (LV) mass is closely associated with atherosclerotic heart disease, but the mechanisms are not well defined. This study aimed to evaluate the risk factors associated with ...

The association between nondipping status with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and its therapeutic implications are still debated; in this article we examined the studies published in the last ...

"What we found in this population, which are children in mild to moderate CKD, was a surprisingly high prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy [LVH]," senior author Dr Franz Schaefer ...

Left ventricular hypertrophy can be diagnosed on ECG with good specificity. When the myocardium is hypertrophied, there is a larger mass of myocardium for electrical activation to pass through ...

Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy markedly increases the risk of adverse cardiovascular events in patients with hypertension. Many different electrocardiographic indices for the diagnosis of LV ...

Objective To identify adolescent athletes with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and differentiate physiological LVH from HCM. Design Observational follow-up study. Setting: Sports Medicine Clinical ...

A recent study validated new thresholds for left ventricular hypertrophy to improve both HCM diagnosis and timely treatment of HCM.

Obesity significantly impacts cardiovascular health, increasing risks such as left ventricular hypertrophy, atherosclerosis, and hypertension. Pharmaceuticals play a crucial role in addressing these ...

Aim Differentiating physiological cardiac hypertrophy from pathology is challenging when the athlete presents with extreme anthropometry. While upper normal limits exist for maximal left ventricular ...

High-intensity exercise raises sudden cardiac death risk in young hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients, independent of ...
