Cigarette smoking from childhood into early adulthood is associated with an increased risk of premature cardiac injury, ...

Diabetes and LV mass were significant predictors of 4-year incident arterial hypertension A recent study has found that diabetes mellitus and left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy predict progression ...

Table 3. Studies targeting the association of left ventricular hypertrophy with nondipping pattern defined on the basis of two 24-h ambulatory blood pressure-monitoring sessions or a single 48-h ...

At post-mortem examination, the heart was abnormal, with circumferential left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy. Heart weight was 480 g (expected 315–327 g, upper limit of 431 g). The LV lateral and ...

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 ...

In the presence of heart failure or hypertension with LV hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction, the intra-atrial pressure is increased. The resulting activation of atrial stretch receptors induces ...

Cigarette smoking from childhood into early adulthood is associated with an increased risk of premature cardiac injury, according to a study published today in JACC, the flagship journal of the ...

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 ...
