Aims Remodelling of the left ventricle (LV) is associated with adverse cardiovascular events,
but the mechanisms of these effects remain undefined. We investigated the relationship of …

Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and remodeling are frequently seen in hypertensive
subjects and result from a complex interaction of several hemodynamic and non …

In hypertensive populations, left ventricular (LV) geometry, which is characterized by
hypertrophy, predicts cardiovascular outcome. The left ventricle can also alter its shape by …

Aims We tested the hypothesis that abnormal left ventricular (LV) relaxation is associated
with concentric LV geometry. Methods and results Doppler LV filling properties were studied …

Aims Less is known about the relation between in-treatment left ventricular (LV) geometry
and risk of cardiovascular events. We assessed LV geometric patterns on baseline and …

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is an abnormal increase in left ventricular mass. which is
a marker for and contributes to coronary events, stroke, heart failure, peripheral arterial …

Background: Left ventricular mass (LVM) exceeding values appropriate for individual
workload is associated with concentric LV geometry and systolic dysfunction at both the …

Objective To provide a coherent overview of the stimuli to development of abnormal left
ventricular geometric patterns, their impact on cardiac function and their relationship to the …

Different patterns of abnormal left ventricular (LV) geometry are associated with variations in
prognosis, but the mechanisms of these effects remain undefined. We investigated the …

Background Recent studies have shown that left ventricular geometric adaptation to
hypertension is complex. The spectrum of geometric adaptations in a general population …
